Latinization, multilingualism and language shift in the Western provinces

LatinNow uses sociolinguistics, epigraphy and archaeology to write a social history of the north-western Roman provinces with a particular focus on the spread of Latin, bi- and multi-lingualism, the fate of local languages, levels of literacy and the complex nexus between language-identity-culture. We are exploiting digital resources to explore the factors that correlate with these linguistic and cultural changes.
