    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".<br>

      Yes, in the past (before Greenberg), "comparative linguistics" was
      primarily used for historical-genealogical linguistics, but this
      use seems to be long obsolete (as I note in my blogpost: <a

      <br>
      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>

                          out that in English, the term “comparative

                          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 moz-do-not-send="true"

                          </div>
                          <div>I see that in German (according to the
                            corresponding Wikipedia entry), the term <i>vergleichende

                              Sprachwissenschaft</i> 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

                            puzzling for an English-speaker).</div>
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>Thus the use of “comparative linguistics”
                            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 linguistics”
                                              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
                                              “typology”. However, much
                                              of what they do is clearly
                                              “typological” in the
                                              usually understood sense,
                                              so it is really odd to
                                              exclude this community
