Meeting Description:

The conference aims to take a closer look at Latin words that have played an
important role in the medieval culture. Every two year we propose to focus on
a different major medieval concept and its linguistic expressions. We wish to
bring together scholars coming from various disciplines and backgrounds who
study medieval vocabulary in a wider context of social (religious, political
etc.) practices and individual experience.

The conference is jointly organized by the IRHT CNRS and the Institute of
Polish Language (PAS).


Call for Papers: 

Topic: Feast, Holiday, Celebration

Feasts deeply structured social and private life of medieval people. The
recurring religious holidays reminded believers of their relationship to the
Absolute and gave meaning to the medieval sense of time. Private celebrations,
limited to friends and family, were used to underline the events of people’s
lives. Public holidays, on the other hand, created and sustained social
coherence, by highlighting common values and cultural norms that are usually
implicit.

Topics may include but are not limited to:
1. The concepts of FEAST, CELEBRATION and HOLIDAY and their linguistic
representation:
- Medieval Latin vs. vernacular languages,
- the metaphors of FEASTING and CELEBRATION.
2. Religious life: the vocabulary of Church holidays, ceremonies, saints day.
3. Individual experience of FEAST and language.
4. Celebration as social and linguistic practice.
5. Theoretical issues in historical semantics:
- Latin vocabulary and categories of medieval thought: a simple link?
- lexical borrowing and semantic change;
- medieval Latin and individuals: cognition, experience, emotions;
- scientific vs. folk knowledge;
- negotiating meaning in interpretative communities.

Abstract submission: 
Abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair

- long papers: 500 words (without references),
