minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">Historical linguistics and linguistic typology have long had a close relationship. From a functional-typological
perspective, diachronic pathways help explain the emergence and distribution of cross-linguistic patterns; from a historical perspective, common processes of change and cross-linguistically attested states are both taken as indicators of more likely reconstructions.
In fact, many early typologists argued that typology should be the foundation of reconstruction; Roman Jakobson (1958: 23), for example, believed that typology is a crucial predictive tool, and thus a reconstruction that conflicts with it is "questionable."
Indeed, some typologically oriented scholars are of the opinion that, in cases where a reconstruction contradicts a strong cross-linguistic tendency, the reconstruction must be reevaluated or discarded. Many scholars, like Jakobson himself, do not defend the
requirement that reconstructions conform to typological results, beyond arguing, as Greenberg does, that "it is a highly suspicious circumstance that a language not directly attested, but only reconstructed by a complex line of reasoning, should not conform
to well-attested synchronic typological principles" (1995:146). The idea that a feature can be reconstructed only if it is already attested elsewhere, while never fully discussed in the literature, is repeated even in recent works in the relatively new subfield
of diachronic typology (for example, Hendery 2012:245). At the same time, however, some historical linguists reject this idea, suggesting instead that typology can be used as a tool in the reconstruction process, but should not necessarily override the results
attained via internal or comparative reconstruction (Compare here the debate within Indo-European linguistics over the glottalic theory; see e.g. Hopper 1973.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica">Despite some push-back from historical linguists, especially within Indo-European linguistics (Watkins
1964; Dunkel 1981, Stevens 1992, and note also the cautionary remarks of Fox 1995), there is essentially no programmatic debate on this issue today and many historical linguists accept the typological mandate without question; Gamkrelidze, for example, states
that "a linguistic reconstruction running counter to language universals cannot, naturally, claim to really reflect a language system that did historically exist" (1997:27). However, typological ‘rara’ can certainly arise (Wohlgemuth and Cysouw 2010), as can
unusual diachronic pathways; moreover, our understanding of what constitutes an ‘unusual’ pathway is crucially informed by our reconstructions, creating a risk of circularity. Given the general lack of overt empirical or theoretical discussion of the relationship
between historical linguistics and typology, we invite proposals for 20- minute presentations (plus 10 minutes for questions) on topics dealing with the relationship between these areas of linguistic investigation. Contributions may address issues such as
