Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will deal with methodological questions of historical language contacts and case studies of contact situations, concentrating on lexical borrowings in particular. The impacts of contacts on other areas of language (phonology, morphology, syntax) will be discussed briefly as well.

As the course is primarily aimed at students of Finno-Ugric linguistics, most of the examples will deal with the history of various Finno-Ugric/Uralic languages (especially Finnic, Saami and Hungarian), but examples from other language families will be mentioned as well. Many of the case studies discussed deal with contacts between Uralic and various Indo-European and Turkic languages, thus the course can be useful also for students of these languages and for students of general linguistics who are interested in language contacts.

Knowledge of the basics of Uralic historical linguistics and knowledge of some Uralic languages is helpful but not required.
