An Introduction to Old Languages
Each lecture will provide a joyful introduction to one of the wonderful old languages we teach and study at our University. In particular, speakers will be examining a particular set of linguistic features which are particularly special, unique, or exciting. The lectures are aimed at everyone with an interest in language, so please join us!
All lectures will be in the Graduate School Seminar Room on the Ground Floor of 7 Woodland Road.
