Linguistic Field(s): History of Linguistics; Linguistic Theories 

Meeting Description: 

Approaches to dialectal variation from antiquity up to modern times:

Although there are plenty of overviews of the history of the language
sciences, they generally do not dedicate extensive attention (if at all) to
ideas about dialectal variation. What is more, there are thus far no accounts
systematically treating approaches to dialectal diversity throughout history.
This is not to say, however, that there are no works dealing with specific
episodes of this variegated subfield of the history of the language sciences,
far from it—see, e.g., the important contributions by:

- Morpurgo Davies (1987) for Greek antiquity,
- Adams (2007: esp. 114-275) for Latin antiquity and the early Middle Ages,
- Von Moos (2008) for the later Middle Ages,
- Alinei (1981) for the Renaissance,
- Eskhult (2015: esp. 86-87) for an eighteenth-century case study, and
- Pop (1950) for a large part of the modern period.

The thematic workshop aims at (1) continuing the exploration of this domain in
a more comprehensive and systematic manner and (2) inciting a closer dialogue
and a more in-depth discussion about this topic. It intends to do so by means
of a series of papers on the diverse historical approaches to the phenomenon
of dialectal diversity from antiquity up to modern times, both in Western and
other traditions. Although it obviously does not lie within the workshop’s
scope to cover the issue in its entirety, it nevertheless hopes to bring
together scholars with different backgrounds and working on different periods
and languages in order to gain a better insight into the matter. 

This workshop will consist of the following three sessions :
 
- Approaches toward Specific Dialect Contexts
- History of the Concept of Dialect
- History of Dialectology as an Institutionalized Subdiscipline of Linguistics

The first and final sessions will each include four papers while the second
session, History of the Concept of Dialect, will consist of three. Papers are
30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation + 10 minutes for discussion). The
number of slots is subject to change, depending on the number of papers
received and accepted.
