This was the third summer school organised by the Historical Sociolinguistics Network (HiSoN) and it offered classes by leading experts on modern and historical sociolinguists. The venue was the University of Agder's Metochi study centre, a former monastery on the Greek island of Lesbos. Classes took place in the morning and early evening and participants had the opportunity to present their own research at a special session.
