masters: statistical approaches to historical linguistics/philology

[Sheila Embleton]

This is one of my long-standing areas of research, and I do not know of 
such a course. There are of course some courses on statistics for 
linguists at the graduate level, but I don't know of any devoted to such 
approaches to historical linguistics. I do look forward to hearing from 
others though -- I'd love to find that I'm wrong and that there IS a 
course out there!

[Histling-l] masters: statistical approaches to historical 
linguistics/philology






Dear Histling,

Does anyone know of a Master's course (or similar) that covers statistical 
approaches to problems in historical linguistics/philology in reasonable 
depth (let's not worry about location to start off with)?  I've tried the 
Internet and Internet-based course catalogues at some length and without 
success so far, so may be asking the wrong question (or for something that 
doesn't exist!)

I'll be very grateful for any information!

Howard

PS Since I'm approaching this from the statistical rather than linguistic 
side, do feel free to put me right if I'm on the wrong list/asking a 
stupid question..._______________________________________________
