ASPECTS OF BILINGUALISM IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
THE UNIVERSITY OF READING, 2-4 April 1998
An International conference on bilingualism organised by Prof. J.N. Adams
(Reading), Prof. M.E.P. Janse (Gent) and Dr S.C.R. Swain (Warwick) will
be held at the University of Reading from 2-4 April 1998. Sixteen invited
speakers from Britain and abroad will give papers. No attempt will be made
to achieve a comprehensive coverage of language contact in the ancient
Mediterranean world, but the focus will instead be on Greek and Latin in
contact both with each other and with other languages. It is intended that
some papers should be linguistic in orientation (i.e. that they should take
account of recent research by linguists on bilingualism in modern
societies, relating the findings if possible to issues of ancient
bilingualism), but it is also obvious that historians and literary scholars
commonly address problems related to language contact. We hope that the
programme of papers will offer a combination of sociolinguistic, literary,
cultural and historical approaches to the subject.
