Linguistic Field(s): History of Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The role played by women in the history of linguistics has not yet received
the scholarly attention it deserves, despite current interest in linguistic
historiography and questions of language and gender. 

This conference will consider the contribution of women as linguists in
different linguistic and cultural contexts, both European and non-European.
The focus will be particularly on the period 1500 until the
institutionalisation of linguistics as a discipline in the twentieth century.
The term 'linguist' will be understood broadly, to include contributions
offered to the discipline and the study of language structure and function
outside more institutionalised and traditional frameworks.
