Written Language Contact in Diachrony: An Introduction

The aim of our class is to introduce participants to the fundamental approaches to the study of the characteristics, status and role of translation in the diachrony of languages.

Translations and translators have influenced aspects of the diachrony of languages to a significant degree, as well as all domains related to the language, dictionaries, alphabets, national literatures, the diffusion of knowledge and the spread and practices of religions. 

We will concentrate on the analysis of different types of language contact and borrowing/ transfer through translations.
