Speaking about History: Historical and Linguistic Dimensions of Oral History
This is the second summer school organised by the Historical Sociolinguistics Network (HISON) and it will offer classes by leading historians with an interest in language and sociolinguists with an interest in history. There will be seven teaching units in which you will explore a number of issues relating to the different methods, intellectual premises, and disciplinary frameworks of pure historians and historical sociolinguists working on a range of European languages and historical periods. There will be six hours of teaching per day, complemented by discussion groups sessions during which you can present your own research. There will only be space for 45 graduate students and young researchers, so you are advised to book early.
