[Important clarification regarding the program-schedule, after some questions we received:
The online spring school of the CIVIS Course "Languages in Europe and their diachronies" will last one week - from Monday to Friday, morning hours, around 4 hours per day. Then, we will have an online workshop (of 5-6 hours), but once, probably in May. The face-to-face summer school will take place on Naxos, one week, 6 hours per day.
CIVIS/Erasmus will offer you an Erasmus mobility grant to cover part of your expenses of travel and accommodation (to visit Greece/Naxos). CIVIS will probably cover expenses of lunches on the island of Naxos (if many students apply for the course - this is something very probable right now)]
The course will introduce the students to an interdisciplinary way of studying the past and present of languages, focusing on ancient and medieval European languages.
Moreover, students will be also be involved in small linguistic and computational historical linguistic projects aiming at an advanced knowledge of the methodology of describing, analyzing and explaining the grammar and the development of ancient and medieval languages. Students will acquire advanced knowledge of the modern theoretical approaches to the study of ancient and medieval languages, both in relation to the analysis of their grammar and to the examination of the correlations between society, in the case of language contact, culture and linguistic development. The students will also be introduced to the methodology of computational and statistical analysis of ancient/medieval Indo-European languages and the challenges of linking digital heritage data with historical linguistic studies.
