Comparative Philology Graduate Seminar: Faliscan

The Comparative Philology Graduate Seminar this term focuses on Faliscan. The ager Faliscus was not far to the north of Rome, and the language spoken there is of particular interest because it is the closest relative of Latin. The seminar will locate Faliscan within the wider Italic context and discuss its phonology and morphology.

Week 3: Phonology part 1: Voiced aspirates in Faliscan and Italic
Week 4: NO SEMINAR
