Call for Papers:

Philology is a rigorously scientific approach to the study of the phenomenon
of language as mediated by texts. While literary texts remain the primary
subject of philological inquiry, we consider philology to embrace the study of
orally-transmitted texts as well, thereby encompassing both the oral and
literary manifestations of language. Traditional Philology also encompasses
elements of Historical and Comparative Linguistics, but is not limited in its
scope to these disciplines. Comparative Philology, by contrast, entails the
study of language, as mediated by texts, across geographic, chronological, and
scholarly boundaries. The Journal of Comparative Philology is therefore
committed to publishing philological scholarship that reflects explicit
diachronic, multicultural, crosslinguistic, and/or transdisciplinary
approaches.

We deem such contributions to be rigorously scientific if they are precise
(that is, it is made clear from the outset what the author's contribution is,
in terms of the problem, the hypothesis, and any conclusions, using vocabulary
in a way that is either commonly accepted or, where a scholarly consensus does
not exist, is defined in such a way as to acknowledge both the author's point
of view as well as potential differences of opinion in the literature),
reproducible (that is, anyone with the same data could potentially come to the
same conclusions), falsifiable (which simply entails that the author give some
consideration as to what conditions or outcomes would disprove his or her
hypothesis and any conclusions that arise from the research, and make a good
faith effort to demonstrate that these do not obtain), and parsimonious (that
is, they reflect the least complicated explanation, provided that all other
reasonable explanations have been acknowledged and consciously excluded). We
ask that all contributions heed these scientific approaches prior to
submission.

Journal of Comparative Philology welcomes and explores highly researched
articles in the field that speak to philology and its core constituents. The
regional reach of the journal is non-specified and the editors welcome all
(world) philological research. We are particularly (definitely not
exclusively) interested in philological research that has an interdisciplinary
and/or comparative edge. At its heart, philology entails making sense of
texts. Practitionists of this ''Queen of the Sciences'' distinguish themselves
from other literary interpreters by means of close readings informed,
constrained, and fundamentally structured by historical and comparative
linguistic considerations. The Journal of Comparative Philology navigates
multiple dimensions of language, grammar, and text by encouraging essays that
explore a broad cross-section of disciplines, in order to cultivate a fuller
understanding and appreciation of the text. The journal offers studies on more
fundamental issues involving the question of how linguistic principles sustain
and influence expression. Compounding this interplay is the role that
linguistic discourse itself plays in scholarly disputes negotiating intent and
result. In this regard, the journal also focuses on the question of how older
philology impacts its modern forerunner.
