Sažetak
I teach a course entitled Historical Sociolinguistics that is an elective within the English Department at the University of Zagreb’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The course is carried out in English, and all but a handful of students who have taken it in the five years since its inception have been both native speakers of Croatian and students of English. The class’ object of study is the Croatian language as it was used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Austrian crownland of Istria. To include this activity within the field of English Studies would be far fetched, but it does complement the graduate courses offered in our department by giving students the opportunity to use the English language to discuss the history of their own language and culture, and to learn about historical sociolinguistic theory written in English and about the histories of English-speaking communities, and apply it to the histories of their own Croatian-speaking communities.
