Subject: Data in Historical Linguistics Seminar: Special Panel on Phylogenetics


The last talks of the Data in Historical Linguistics Seminar Series
2026 will take place remotely on Monday 8th June 2026 at 5pm BST. We
are delighted to host a special panel session on phylogenetics,
featuring two back-to-back talks, followed by a joint Q&A session.
Artin Nasirpour (University of Georgia, USA) will open the panel and
present on “Middle Iranian Evidence and the ‘Problem’ of East Iranian:
A Comparative and Quantitative Reassessment”.
Emma Kopp (Université Paris-Dauphine, France) will follow with a
presentation titled “Quantitative limits of phylogenetic methods in
historical linguistics”.
Registration for these talks will close at midnight on Friday 5th
June.

only the second talk, you will connect at 5.30pm BST. There will be
one joint Q&A session at the end of both talks, at 6pm BST.
Participants will receive a Microsoft Teams link via email on the
morning of the talk.

This seminar series is run by Andrea Farina (King’s College London)
and Dr Mathilde Bru and is aimed at PhD students and early career
researchers. The purpose of this seminar series is to bring together
researchers working on historical linguistics with a quantitative
approach, and to discuss current avenues of research in this topic. We
hope that these seminars will nurture international collaboration and
establish academic ties among researchers working on similar topics in
this field.
