Professor John Coleman from the Phonetics Department at Oxford University will give a talk on:
"Voices from the Past" How do present day languages sound compared to those spoken by our ancestors? An audio journey into the spoken words of the past.
Discover the deep cultural connections we share with our linguistic cousins across Europe and Asia and hear reconstructions of ancient words, last spoken over 6,000 years ago.
As we have to pay a rent for the facilities, we have to ask for a donation of at least £3 on the door to make sure we cover all our expenses. i.e. the rent, cost of speakers' travel expenses and a meal, plus overnight accommodation if needed.
