Scientific Jargon Across Time and Space Organizers: Jenny Robins
(Urbana-Champaign) and Kerstin Roth (TU Dresden)

In this panel, we would like to invite researchers from the field of
historical linguistics and closely related research fields to discuss
scientific jargon across time and space in multilingual contexts. We
are interested in interaction between the (so-called) norm and
vernacular in historical European language contexts. In many cases,
the Latin language serves as a reference point for identifying
scientific jargon. However, gradually, vernaculars grow in importance
and are present in various text types across the European continent.
The overarching theme of this conference is Diversity and Uniformity
Across Time and Space. In this panel, we will highlight diversity by
focusing on European language contact from the Middle Ages through the
beginning of the 20th century. We hope to find instances of uniformity
in possible patterns across languages. In other words, we presume that
language contact and thereby language change can follow similar
patterns, e.g. first incorporating loan words followed by whole
phrases and grammatical structures (cf. Schendl 2012). Some examples
for scientific language contact on the European continent over time
include, but are not limited to, Latin-German, Latin-French,
Italian-French, Latin-Italian, German-Dutch etc. (cf.
Glaser/Prinz/Ptashnyk 2021). Traces of this language contact can be
found in multiple text types such as recipes, instructions,
pedagogical materials, pharmacopoeia, etc. Furthermore, translations
of entire texts or partial translations can give us insights into the
world of language contact and different jargons. We welcome
submissions focusing on subjects such as medicine, law, education,
science, and the humanities—all fields of jargon highlighting lexical,
syntactical, and other phenomena in multilingual contexts (cf.
Hernández-Campoy/Conde-Silvestre 2012)—but are also interested in
other established or emerging jargons. This panel especially
encourages abstracts from those in the early stages of their academic
career interested in presenting projects in all stages of preparation
(i.e. work in progress to finished theses). We invite projects
utilizing both qualitative and quantitative research methods ranging
from unique examples to larger corpus-linguistic analyses. The key
goal of the panel is to provide a platform for discussion and
scientific exchange for those studying similar topics across time and
space. Questions we may examine together include: (1) Is jargon a
language from below? (2) How does a vernacular become a sort of
standard? (3) What patterns do we see across different languages?
Similarities? Differences? (4)Are there any unique patterns across
these languages that change over a period of time?
Please send the title of your presentation to the following e-mail
addresses by November 20, 2023: jmrobins at illinois.edu and/or
kerstin.roth1 at tu-dresden.de Please send your abstracts (max. 300 words
not including the bibliography) in English by November 30, 2023. The
complete application for the panel will be submitted to HiSoN by
December 31, 2024. Bibliography/References Glaser, Elvira; Michael
