If the USA counts as 'abroad', Don Ringe at Penn is, of course, 
world-renowned in exactly those fields. I have no idea whether they accept 
undergraduate semester-abroad students, but it couldn't hurt to ask! I know 
that (as a graduate student) I very much benefitted from Don's teaching, 
and there is a steady stream of Historical Linguistics PhDs coming out of 
Penn, so there's clearly a great programme there at at least that level. 
Penn also has Tony Kroch and Beatrice Santorini, of course, who do (among 
other things) historical corpus work, on Middle English for example, and I 
know they have had undergraduate collaborators in that who have found the 
work interesting enough to go on and do PhDs in it. If you were only there 
a semester, you probably wouldn't get into it that deeply, but, again, it 
wouldn't hurt to ask!
