Edinburgh Theoretical Historical Linguistics (ETHL) Summer School 2026

Host Institution: University of Edinburgh
Website: https://ethl.uk

Dates: 22-Jun-2026 - 26-Jun-2026
Location: Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Minimum Education Level: MA students, PhD candidates, early-career
postdocs

Focus: TARGET AUDIENCE & PREREQUISITES
We warmly invite advanced MA students, PhD candidates, and
early-career postdocs, but as well as any researchers interested in
the intersection of diachronic and theoretical linguistics. As ETHL
classes are designed to bridge the gap between historical and
generative frameworks, participants are expected to have a
foundational background in either generative linguistic theory or
historical linguistics.
Description:
The ETHL Summer School at the University of Edinburgh provides an
intensive curriculum offering a comprehensive overview of Theoretical
Historical Linguistics. This program brings together cutting-edge
research in historical syntax, phonology, and morphology to
holistically examine the relationship between the various modules of
grammar and diachronic change. Attendees will gain both theoretical
and historical perspectives on this evolving discipline.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics
