HL is central to current linguistics research, as shown by the number and quality of recent publications in the .field However, we feel that there has not been much discussion on the teaching of HL in the academic milieu. Few studies have been conducted in this respect, and in this article we would like to follow up the ideas presented and discussed at the Seminar Applying Historical Linguistics, at the ESSSE/ 4 Conference held in Debrecen (Hungary) in 1997.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess57 Lingüística::5701 Lingüística aplicada::5701.11 Enseñanza de lenguasTeaching Historical Linguistics in the New Curriculumartículo
