Thank you for your cooperation. Sixteen invited speakers from Britain and abroad will give papers. No attempt will be made to achieve a comprehensive coverage of language contact in the ancient Mediterranean world, but the focus will instead be on Greek and Latin in contact both with each other and with other languages. We hope that the programme of papers will offer a combination of sociolinguistic, literary, cultural and historical approaches to the subject. Tea 4.15-5.00 Cl.
