What is the CRLC?

The CRLC promotes, coordinates and sponsors research on all aspects of language change and on the history of particular languages and language families.

The Centre is a focus for all research in this field at the Australian National University (ANU), combining interests previously divided amongst the Department of Linguistics in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (RSPAS), the School of Language Studies in the Faculty of Arts, various centres in the Faculty of Asian Studies, and members of the Departments of Anthropology and of Archaeology and Natural History, RSPAS, and the Archaeology and Anthropology, Faculty of Arts.

We seek to actively promote the formulation of cross-campus and inter-university projects and seek appropriate funding for them, support directly selected projects or aspects of them, organise seminars, lectures and conferences, publish appropriate works and publicise the interests and achievements of historical linguistics at the ANU.

The CRLC is uniquely devoted to research on language change across language families. Scholars connected with the Centre will play a role in defining the discipline on a world scale.
