Course programme
Geographical and historical introduction to the Proto-Indo-European languages.
Evolution and simplification of the grammar throughout the centuries. Examples from Sanskrit, Latin, Lithuanian and Old English will be used.
Examples of etymology of some Indo-European vocabulary which is still used today (examples will be from Gothic, Hittite, Sanskrit, Persian, Baltic and Slavonic languages, Latin and Classical Greek).
We will look at the differences between Latin/Old English and English. In order to study the loss of declension, we will translate a few example sentences from Old English into English.
