Historical Linguistics 3130 A

Readings for Monday, October 24

Monday's class will discuss Chapter 7 "Models of Linguistic Change" and probably part of Chapter 11 "Explaining Linguistic Change." There will not likely be any exercises for the next three weeks, but there will be more than the usual amount of reading.

Exercise 4.2 (pages 120 to 121) will be returned to you on Monday. If you didn't hand it in today (you were sick or whatever), you can e-mail it to me by noon on Sunday and I will still check it). There is no grade for this (or any other) homework, but I want ot see if you understand it.
