DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on Indo-European (IE) languages spoken in
  Italy in the first millennium BCE\; Latin and Greek\, known from survivin
 g literary texts and inscriptions\, are much better understood than the Sa
 bellian languages\, which are only attested epigraphically. Most scholars 
 believe that the Sabellian languages form an IE subgroup together with Lat
 in\, on the basis of shared phonological and morphological innovations. In
  this talk I will examine these innovations and show that many\, perhaps a
 ll\, can be better explained through language contact.
