Historical Linguistics Research Group (HLRG) -  Meets first Friday of each month.

Year in Review: During the 1998-99 academic year the HLRG had its second series of Friday evening potluck meetings. The five evening talks and two afternoon talks by USC faculty and students were arranged by Kurt Goblirsch in conjunction with Don Cooper, Dorothy Disterheft, and Eric Holt. Silvia Luraghi (Università degli Studi di Pavia) and Anatoly Liberman (Univ. of Minnesota) were invited speakers. Topics included Romance, Celtic, Slavic, and Germanic historical linguistics, as well as languages in contact. The meetings were well attended, with usually 15 students and faculty present. The food was especially good and from a variety of ethnic traditions. Come and join the fun next fall!
