The seminar will focus on language change, with the
focus on English, and its modern dialects. The topics discussed will
include morphological, phonological, lexical and semantic changes in the
English language which led to the development of standard and
non-standard varieties. The actual topics of the thesis may vary, from
projects studying the changes which took place in the language in the
past to those examining various aspects of Present-Day English. The list
of topics may be modified according to the students' interests and
needs.
