The International Conference on Linguistics and Classical Languages (LCL) will be held at Roma Tre University, February 17-19, 2011. The conference will be a state of the art review of the contribution of modern Linguistics to our knowledge of Latin and Ancient Greek, and likewise, the contribution of classical language studies to Linguistics. The comparison of Latin and Ancient Greek enjoys a long tradition. Over the last few decades, the boundaries of research have broadened, developing from the investigation of an individual language family towards a comparison with genetically and areally unrelated languages. Accordingly, a reclassification of certain Ancient Greek and Latin phenomena has occurred, as well as the identification of possible universal and language-specific trends. Apart from cross-linguistic studies, important attempts have been made at interpreting classical language phenomena within wider theoretical frameworks, regarding both functional and formal approaches.
