Have you ever considered how it would be like to have a chat with King Alfred the Great? Would it be possible at all? The English language is a great example on how languages evolve. If you have ever tried to read old English poetry, you definitely know that this is not a piece of cake. We have developed an experiment, which is based on an innovative methodology, to depict the historical language change, called glossogeny. The event is organised under the auspices of Centre for Language Evolution Studies in Nicolaus Copernicus University and Polish Society for Human and Evolution Studies.
The organisers of the event are Monika Boruta, Krzysztof Kaszyński, and Marek Placiński.
