In the definition of European identities, languages have had and continue to have a fundamental role, and this is no accident.The history of the languages of Europe is truly the history of a cultural construct that meant the convergence of the dialects with greatest affinities, the disappearance of many linguistic particularities that did not fit, emphasis on certain linguistic traits that allowed differences to be distinguished, etc.With different rhythms and chronologies, the pattern of the creation of the national European languages is similar.The seminar will allow parallel analysis with the historical trajectory of different European languages and will in this way provide a comprehensive interpretative context for the content taught in the compulsory subjects on the history of language.
