    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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://dlc.hypotheses.org/1022">https://dlc.hypotheses.org/1022</a>).<br>
    <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>

                      <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 linguistics”, 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 moz-do-not-send="true"
                          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> 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 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>

                                    consider switching to an entirely
                                    different, fully transparent term,

                                    quite a few well-established fields

                                    comparative economics, comparative
                                    education, comparative law,
                                    comparative literature, comparative
                                    mythology, comparative psychology,

                                            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
                                            terminologically.</span></span></div>
