This a call for papers for the conference 'A Germanic Sandwich 2013'

Meeting Description:

'A Germanic Sandwich 2013' will be held at the University of Leuven from 11-12 January 2013, as the fourth edition of a series of conferences in which Dutch is compared with its West Germanic neighbours, English and German. The first one took place in Berlin to commemorate the 1956 appearance of the seminal publication Nederlands tussen Duits en Engels ('Dutch between German and English'), a study by the renowned Dutch linguist C.B. van Haeringen. Later editions of the conference were held at Sheffield (2008) and Oldenburg (2010). The conferences have spawned a number of special issues, either as a book volume (Hüning et al. 2006) or as special issues of journals (Vismans et al. 2010; Ruigendijk et al. in prep.). See also http://www.shef.ac.uk/dutch/pastevents#sandwich and Van der Wouden, forthc.).

Hüning, M., A. Verhagen, U. Vogl & T. van der Wouden (eds.). 2006. Nederlands tussen Duits en Engels. Leiden: Stichting Neerlandistiek Leiden.
Ruigendijk, E., F. Van de Velde & R. Vismans (eds.). In prep. Special issue: Dutch between English and German. Leuven Contributions in Linguistics and Philology.

Invited Speaker: Johan Van der Auwera, in collaboration with Daniël Van Olmen: "On West Germanic moods and modalities"

Abstracts are invited for 30 minutes talks (20+10), in which Dutch is compared to German and/or  English (other Germanic languages may of course be included as well). We welcome studies with a typological and/or comparative perspective, dealing with questions about structural aspects  of the languages, their history or their status. Studies from a  language acquisition or psycholinguistic perspective will find their place as well.

> One of the major issues discussed in the context of contact is the question of linguistic structure and what contribution typological structural similarity has on the extent of borrowing. The assumption that similar structure is an essential factor in borrowability (“structural compatibility requirement”), which was common early on (Weinreich 1953; Moravcsik 1978) has been abandoned, but recent studies suggest that there is some correlation between structural similarity and structural changes, although this may hold only as a tendency (Haig 2001). To date, most investigations of contact phenomena have focused on languages coming from different or only distantly related families. In such languages, if any similarity exists, it is typological, rather than genetic. Yet the issue of contact among genetically related languages is a crucial problem for historical linguistics, with profound implications for determining subgrouping among related languages, reconstructing protolanguages, and understanding the histories of their speakers. In the past, historical linguistics often worked under the assumption that languages split from a common language (proto-language) and developed independently thereafter. The effects of contact among related languages may lead to erroneous family trees, in which languages are assigned to incorrect nodes on the basis of borrowed similarities. Yet despite these challenges, detailed investigation that weighs different features according to their relative borrowability can make progress toward untangling these complex linguistic relationships. Establishing the methodological best practices and most common pitfalls in distinguishing contact from genetic inheritance remains an outstanding challenge in historical linguistics. Therefore, we plan to conduct an international workshop where relevant test cases will be presented and theoretical debates may further our understanding of the effect of genetic relation on the results of language contact.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position in Historical Linguistics: Yale University
Message-ID: <TUE.13.MAR.2012.112456.0400.CLAIRE.BOWERN@YALE.EDU>

The Department of Linguistics at Yale University invites applications for a
one-year (non-renewable) Postdoctoral Associate position in historical
linguistics. Duties include both research and teaching (one course in each
semester, including an introduction to historical linguistics in Fall,
2012).
The position is partially funded through NSF grant BCS-920114 "Dynamics of
Hunter-Gatherer Language Change".  This interdisciplinary project compares
language histories from Northern Australia, California and the Great Basin,
and Northern Amazonia in order to test claims about correlates between
aspects of language change and social and demographic features. The
Postdoctoral Associate will be joining the project in the final year of the
grant, and will contribute as an author to the preparation of grant-related
publications.
The successful candidate will have experience in historical reconstruction.
Preference will be given to candidates with experience in quantitative
methodologies and/or first-hand experience with languages in (or near) one
of the case study regions. Strong writing skills are essential.
The starting date for this position is July 1 or soon thereafter.
Requirements for the PhD must be completed by the start date. Review of
applicants will begin on April 2 and will continue until the position is
filled. For full consideration, by April 2 please submit to
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/1473 a letter of application which
addresses research experience, current research goals, teaching experience,
and how you see yourself contributing to the project; please also submit a
current CV and 2 writing samples, and arrange for two letters of reference
to be sent to academicjobsonline.org website.
Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and
especially encourages applications from women and members of
underrepresented minorities.

Lexicons of Early Modern English  - Word of the day

Glossator, or Glossographer, he that makes a Glosse or Comment to interpret
the hard meaning of words or things. Edward Phillips, The New World of
English Words (1598)

 

Locating historical references and accessing manuscripts can be difficult
with countless hours spent searching for a single text for the sparsest of
contributions to your research.

 

Lexicons of Early Modern English is a growing historical database offering
scholars unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts documenting the
growth and development of the English language. With more than 580,000
word-entries from 176 monolingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries,
lexical encyclopedias, hard-word glossaries, spelling lists, and
lexically-valuable treatises surviving in print or manuscript from the
Tudor, Stuart, Caroline, Commonwealth, and Restoration periods, LEME sets
the standard for modern linguistic research on the English language.

  -  122 Fully analyzed lexicons  

  -  588,721 Total word entries  

  -  368,372 Fully analyzed word entries  

  -  60,891 Total English modern headwords

 

"Firstly, I want to say what an extraordinary and wonderful resource the
LEME is. It is invaluable to the academic community who work on these
periods and the ways in which you have developed in from the EMDD are
formidable. Thank you!" (Charlotte Scott, researcher and LEME user)  

 

Lexicons recently added to LEME - http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/

Anonymous, Catholicon Anglicum: The Remedy for all Diseases (ca. 1475), an
English-Latin dictionary from Lord Monson's manuscript, reconstructed from a
19th-century Early English Text Society edition. The earliest such lexicon
surviving in the language holding some 7,180 word-entries, distinguishes
itself by the extensive use of Latin synonyms in explanations.

plants associated with Thomas Fourmond / Formond of Carssalton, Surrey (died
March 21, 1542/43). The list has nine sections: for a garden, for pottage,
for sauce, for the cop, for salad, to still, for savour and beauty, roots,
and for an herber.

Meeting Description:

'A Germanic Sandwich 2013' will be held at the University of Leuven from 11-12 January 2013, as the fourth edition of a series of conferences in which Dutch is compared with its West Germanic neighbours, English and German. The first one took place in Berlin to commemorate the 1956 appearance of the seminal publication Nederlands tussen Duits en Engels ('Dutch between German and English'), a study by the renowned Dutch linguist C.B. van Haeringen. Later editions of the conference were held at Sheffield (2008) and Oldenburg (2010). The conferences have spawned a number of special issues, either as a book volume (H?ning et al. 2006) or as special issues of journals (Vismans et al. 2010; Ruigendijk et al. in prep.). See also http://www.shef.ac.uk/dutch/pastevents#sandwich and Van der Wouden, forthc.).

> One of the major issues discussed in the context of contact is the question of linguistic structure and what contribution typological structural similarity has on the extent of borrowing. The assumption that similar structure is an essential factor in borrowability (?structural compatibility requirement?), which was common early on (Weinreich 1953; Moravcsik 1978) has been abandoned, but recent studies suggest that there is some correlation between structural similarity and structural changes, although this may hold only as a tendency (Haig 2001). To date, most investigations of contact phenomena have focused on languages coming from different or only distantly related families. In such languages, if any similarity exists, it is typological, rather than genetic. Yet the issue of contact among genetically related languages is a crucial problem for historical linguistics, with profound implications for determining subgrouping among related languages, reconstructing protolanguages, and understanding the histories of their speakers. In the past, historical linguistics often worked under the assumption that languages split from a common language (proto-language) and developed independently thereafter. The effects of contact among related languages may lead to erroneous family trees, in which languages are assigned to incorrect nodes on the basis of borrowed similarities. Yet despite these challenges, detailed investigation that weighs different features according to their relative borrowability can make progress toward untangling these complex linguistic relationships. Establishing the methodological best practices and most common pitfalls in distinguishing contact from genetic inheritance remains an outstanding challenge in historical linguistics. Therefore, we plan to conduct an international workshop where relevant test cases will be presented and theoretical debates may further our understanding of the effect of genetic relation on the results of language contact.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position in Historical Linguistics: Yale University
Message-ID: <TUE.13.MAR.2012.112456.0400.CLAIRE.BOWERN@YALE.EDU>

The Department of Linguistics at Yale University invites applications for a
one-year (non-renewable) Postdoctoral Associate position in historical
linguistics. Duties include both research and teaching (one course in each
semester, including an introduction to historical linguistics in Fall,
2012).
The position is partially funded through NSF grant BCS-920114 "Dynamics of
Hunter-Gatherer Language Change".  This interdisciplinary project compares
language histories from Northern Australia, California and the Great Basin,
and Northern Amazonia in order to test claims about correlates between
aspects of language change and social and demographic features. The
Postdoctoral Associate will be joining the project in the final year of the
grant, and will contribute as an author to the preparation of grant-related
publications.
The successful candidate will have experience in historical reconstruction.
Preference will be given to candidates with experience in quantitative
methodologies and/or first-hand experience with languages in (or near) one
of the case study regions. Strong writing skills are essential.
The starting date for this position is July 1 or soon thereafter.
Requirements for the PhD must be completed by the start date. Review of
applicants will begin on April 2 and will continue until the position is
filled. For full consideration, by April 2 please submit to
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/1473 a letter of application which
addresses research experience, current research goals, teaching experience,
and how you see yourself contributing to the project; please also submit a
current CV and 2 writing samples, and arrange for two letters of reference
to be sent to academicjobsonline.org website.
Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and
especially encourages applications from women and members of
underrepresented minorities.

Message-ID: <WED.21.MAR.2012.202231.0400.THAWKIC551@ROGERS.COM>

Lexicons of Early Modern English  - Word of the day

Glossator, or Glossographer, he that makes a Glosse or Comment to interpret
the hard meaning of words or things. Edward Phillips, The New World of
English Words (1598)

 

Locating historical references and accessing manuscripts can be difficult
with countless hours spent searching for a single text for the sparsest of
contributions to your research.

 

Lexicons of Early Modern English is a growing historical database offering
scholars unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts documenting the
growth and development of the English language. With more than 580,000
word-entries from 176 monolingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries,
lexical encyclopedias, hard-word glossaries, spelling lists, and
lexically-valuable treatises surviving in print or manuscript from the
Tudor, Stuart, Caroline, Commonwealth, and Restoration periods, LEME sets
the standard for modern linguistic research on the English language.

 

Use Modern Techniques to Research Early Modern English!  

  -  176 Searchable lexicons  

  -  122 Fully analyzed lexicons  

  -  588,721 Total word entries  

  -  368,372 Fully analyzed word entries  

  -  60,891 Total English modern headwords

 

"Firstly, I want to say what an extraordinary and wonderful resource the
LEME is. It is invaluable to the academic community who work on these
periods and the ways in which you have developed in from the EMDD are
formidable. Thank you!" (Charlotte Scott, researcher and LEME user)  

 

Lexicons recently added to LEME - http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/

Anonymous, Catholicon Anglicum: The Remedy for all Diseases (ca. 1475), an
English-Latin dictionary from Lord Monson's manuscript, reconstructed from a
19th-century Early English Text Society edition. The earliest such lexicon
surviving in the language holding some 7,180 word-entries, distinguishes
itself by the extensive use of Latin synonyms in explanations.

 

John Lydgate, The Horse the Ghoos and the Sheep (1477)

 

William Caxton, French and English (ca. 1480)

 

Anonymous, The Fromond List of Garden Plants (ca. 1525),a list of about 138
plants associated with Thomas Fourmond / Formond of Carssalton, Surrey (died
March 21, 1542/43). The list has nine sections: for a garden, for pottage,
for sauce, for the cop, for salad, to still, for savour and beauty, roots,
and for an herber.

 

Niels Hemmingsen, A Postle, or Exposition of the Gospels (1569), a
translation of Niel Hemmingsen's Postilla seu enarratio Evangeliorum
(Copenhagen, 1561)

 

John Florio, Florio his First Fruits (1578), parallel Italian-English
dialogues, followed by a brief Italian-English glossary and a grammar

 

Anonymous, The Academy of Pleasure (1656)

 

William Lucas, A Catalogue of Seeds, Plants, &c. (ca. 1677)a trade-list in
eleven sections: seeds of roots, sallad seeds, potherb seeds, sweet herb
seeds, physicall seeds, flower seeds, seeds of evergreen & flowering trees,
sorts of pease, beans, &c., seeds to improve land, flower roots, and sorts
of choice trees & plants

 

Peter Levins, Manipulus Vocabulorum (London, 1570), a dictionary of 8,940
English-Latin word-entries, organized by English rhyme-endings (with
accentuation). This analyzed text owes much to Huloet (added in 2009) and
replaces the simple transcription now in the LEME database.

 

Coming soon to LEME

Henry Hexham's Copious English and Netherduytch Dictionarie (English-Dutch;
1647-48)

 

John Rider's Bibliotheca Scholastica, an English-Latin dictionary first
published by the University of Oxford in 1589.
