are no theory-independent criteria for identifying even the most basic word classes or justifying what linguistic forms are worthy of being called grammatical categories. Classification in linguistics is not equivalent to dissecting objectively observable
components of plants and animals, but consists of projecting theoretical concepts, with some historical philosophical baggage onto new data. We think that nouns and verbs are the most central grammatical categories in language because we think predication
is a fundamental property of syntax. We find non-referential categories such as modality difficult to deal with, because we assume reference is a primary function of language. However sensible such assumptions might be, they need to be challenged, and that
involves not only new descriptions or designing comparative concepts, but developing a broader view of how our theoretical assumptions and comparative concepts relate to each other.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
<span style="background:white">Historically, it seems clear that “language typology” is the older term, and has become current in the 1970s.<span class="xm7908905400028110295m-6679970945402115793apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Since
the 1990s, it got a competitor ("linguistic typology"), for unclear reasons.<br>
<br>
(More on the history of these two terms can be found in the following blogpost:<span class="xm7908905400028110295m-6679970945402115793apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://dlc.hypotheses.org/1022" target="_blank" id="LPlnk51405">https://dlc.hypotheses.org/1022</a>)<br>
<br>
So I'm wondering: Maybe we should consider switching to an entirely different, fully transparent term, namely "comparative linguistics"?<br>
</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">It seems that there are quite a few well-established fields with “comparative” in their names: comparative economics, comparative education, comparative
law, comparative literature, comparative mythology, comparative psychology, and “comparative zoology” even has a famous museum on the Harvard campus.<span class="xm7908905400028110295m-6679970945402115793apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
(So far, at least one department of comparative linguistics in the relevant sense exists: at the University of Zurich,<a href="http://www.comparativelinguistics.uzh.ch/en.html" target="_blank" id="LPlnk633526">http://www.comparativelinguistics.uzh.ch/en.html</a>).<span class="xm7908905400028110295m-6679970945402115793apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

be a complete waste of time to engage in some discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
