The Faculty is delighted to congratulate Wolfgang de Melo on the award of a three-year Major Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust, beginning in October 2023. He will use the Fellowship to write a syntax of Plautus and Terence, two writers of Roman comedy who together make up three-quarters of our corpus of early Latin.
The Arts and Humanities Research Council has renewed its commitment to UK participation in the CLARIN European Research Infrastructure Consortium, with guaranteed participation until at least the end of 2023. Participation in CLARIN gives access to digital language resources and tools, as well as opportunities for funding (https://www.clarin.eu/funding).
The Faculty is delighted to congratulate Sam Wolfe on the award of a Philip Leverhulme Prize. He will use his prize to investigate factors that encourage the syntax of a language to change over time, or to remain stable. Historical linguistics has traditionally been synonymous with the study of language change, but is now on at the brink of the idea that stability can be as intriguing as change, and as worth trying to explain.
