<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">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!</font>

<br>
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!)<br>
<br>
I'll be very grateful for any information!<br>
<br>
Howard<br>
<br>
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...</font><tt><font size=2>_______________________________________________<br>
