Abstract:

"Women in the History of Linguistics" is a ground-breaking investigation into
women's contribution to the description, analysis, and codification of
languages across a wide range of different linguistic and cultural traditions.
Notably, the volume looks beyond Europe to Africa, Australia, Asia, and North
America, offering a systematic and comparative approach to a subject that has
not yet received the scholarly attention it deserves. In view of women's often
limited educational opportunities in the past, their impact is examined not
only within traditional and institutional contexts, but also in more domestic
and less public realms. The chapters explore a variety of spheres of activity,
including the production of grammars, dictionaries, philological studies,
critical editions, and notes and reflections on the nature of language and
writing systems, as well as women's contribution to the documentation and
maintenance of indigenous languages, language teaching and acquisition
methods, language debates, and language use and policy. Attitudes towards
women's language-both positive and negative-that regularly shape linguistic
description and analysis are explored, alongside metalinguistic texts
specifically addressed to them as readers. "Women in the History of
Linguistics" is intended for all scholars and students interested in the
history of linguistics, women's studies, social and cultural history, and the
intersection between language and gender
