Courses for 2010-11:

(on leave fall term)

Linguistics 122. Introduction to Indo-European (spring term).
An introduction to the historical study of the Indo-European languages, using the comparative method to arrive at a picture of the parent language of the family, Proto-Indo-European.

Linguistics 221r. Workshop in Indo-European (spring term).
Topic to be arranged in consultation with interested students; conducted as a seminar.

Other courses I have recently taught:

Freshman Seminar 34x. Language and Prehistory
Linguistics 123. Indo-European Phonology and Morphology
Linguistics 158. From Indo-European to Old Irish
Linguistics 168. Introduction to Germanic Linguistics
Linguistics 220ar. Advanced Indo-European
Linguistics 224. Historical and Comparative Linguistics
Linguistics 247. Topics in Germanic Linguistics

NB: Ling. 220ar and Ling. 221r are "topics" courses whose focus — often a language or language area — varies from year to year. In recent years Lithuanian, Tocharian, and Italo-Celtic have all been taught under this heading.
