What will I learn?

This concise, top-quality course on the History of the French Language takes you from Latin and Vulgar Latin phonology through key sound changes forming Old, Middle, and Modern French. You'll reconstruct word histories, follow semantic shifts, identify false cognates and borrowings, and engage in practical philology using Old French texts, corpora, and etymological resources to develop sharp, research-level analytical abilities.
