Martin mentions "evolutionary linguistics", and indeed, from a
descriptive point of view he is correct: people associated with the
MPI-SHH in Jena do use "evolutionary linguistics" to refer to just
about everything from whether Homo Erectus could speak to the
nitty-gritty of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift in American
English. But this usage seems to me to be problematical. Although
there may indeed be common "evolutionary" principles applicable to
both phylogeny and diachrony, there are also crucial differences,
not just in the sociology of the respective subdisciplines but also
with respect to their underlying principles. In particular, whereas
work in diachronic linguistics is typically guided by the
uniformitarianist principle, stating, roughly, that reconstructed
proto-languages should fall more or less within the range of
observable contemporary languages, work in phylogeny by its very
nature abandons uniformitarianism in order to ask how this range of
variation emerged out of earlier systems that were qualitatively
different and probably simpler than those of contemporary
languages. For this reason, we need distinct terms for these two
very different concerns, and since for most of us "evolution" is
indelibly associated with the former, phylogenetic enterprise,
"evolutionary linguistics" is not an appropriate term to replace
what has traditionally been referred to as "historical-comparative
linguistics".<br>
<br>
An independent reason why calling everything "evolutionary
linguistics" is problematical is that it leaves us without a term
for the type of linguistics that is represented in Evolang
conferences (i.e. Homo Erectus stuff but not Northern Cities Vowel
Shift), which, as suggested by the name of the conferences, is
traditionally referred to as the "evolution of language".<div><div class="h5"><br>

Yes, in the past (before Greenberg), "comparative linguistics" was
primarily used for historical-genealogical linguistics, but this

At MPI-SHH in Jena where I work now (perhaps currently the
best-funded place where people are engaged in
historical-genealogical studies), people use terms like
"evolutionary linguistics" or "phylogenetic linguistics".<br>
<br>
Incidentally, there is no difference between "comparative
linguistics" and "vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft" – the latter
was used for historical-genealogical linguistics, but is now
obsolete in this sense. Balthasar Bickel uses it in the broader
sense that I have suggested.<br>
<br>
But there is an English-German contrast in that nobody uses
"linguistische Typologie" – this sounds like a different meaning
is intended, namely "typology of linguistics"; and who knows,
maybe this is intended by the shift from "language typology" (=
typology of languages?) to "linguistic typology" (= typology in
linguistics?).<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">I would point
out that in English, the term “comparative
linguistics†is typically used as a shorthand
for “historical-comparative linguisticsâ€, i.e.
that part of historical linguistics that
concerns itself with genealogical relatedness
between languages, reconstruction etc., as
opposed to diachronic change within a single
language. (See e.g. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_linguistics" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<wbr>Comparative_linguistics</a>.)
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see that in German (according to the
corresponding Wikipedia entry), the term <i>vergleichende
Sprachwissenschaft</i>Â has a broader
meaning which encompasses both historical
linguistics (<i>historisch-vergleichende S—</i>)
and typology (<i>allgemein-vergleichende S—</i>);
this makes sense of the name of the
department in Zurich (otherwise a bit
puzzling for an English-speaker).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thus the use of “comparative linguisticsâ€
to refer to (only) linguistic typology would
seem to be in competition with existing
usage in both English and German. That said,
I can see the utility of having a cover term
that encompasses both historical linguistics
and typology, and would support using
“comparative linguistics†in the German
sense. I’m not sure if this is within the
scope of the current discussion, though.</div>

I feel that the term
“comparative linguisticsâ€
for what used to be called
“language/linguistic
typology†has another big
advantage: The term fails
to signal association with
a particular subcommunity
– and this is good. After
all, many comparative
linguists work in a
generative framework, and
these do not usually
associate with the term
“typologyâ€. However, much
of what they do is clearly
“typological†in the
usually understood sense,
so it is really odd to
exclude this community
terminologically.</span></span></div>
