smeagoly Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Does anyone here know anything about historical linguistics? Specifically, I'm hoping to find a little more information on what different people consider to be the strongest programs and any tips for applying next fall. Thanks!

smeagoly Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 My interests are generally pretty varied. I'm really interested in comparitive historical linguistics, etymology, semantics, phonology, socioling, and germanic linguistics. I've looked a little bit at Cornell and at Harvard, but I'm not too certain about what other schools might be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarky Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I would think UPenn would be a good fit for you. They have Tony Kroch, Beatrice Santorini and Don Ringe. And of course, Bill Labov. Plus, it's overall a very strong program, so you'll be fine even if you change your focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
