Course: Greek Linguistics

Course Information

The course aims to introduce students to key research questions in Greek linguistics, with a focus on historical, comparative, and sociolinguistic aspects. The classes offer a good balance between theoretical approaches (key theories are presented, and major publications are discussed) and hands-on practice through guided exercises. This structure ensures that students, regardless of their prior knowledge of Greek, can engage with and benefit from the lessons. Practical examples and exercises are designed to accommodate different levels of proficiency in Greek, offering tailored support to meet varying student needs.

The program, along with course materials, will be published on https://www.greeklinguistics.ugent.be/ in the course of October. Indicatively, we plan to start in the late morning and have an optional dinner on the first day, and to finish no later than 5 PM on the second day, so that only one overnight stay will be necessary.

Registration

To participate, students can register with Prof. Dr Klaas Bentein or Prof. Dr Andrea Cuomo. Please include in your email a short motivation, including your background, research interests and why you would like to follow this course.
