Meeting Description:

A workshop on Extended Grammars will be held at the 14th International
Conference for the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS). We welcome
proposals for participation in the workshop.

This workshop is intended to be the opportunity to study different aspects of
the phenomenon named, following Sylvain Auroux (La révolution technologique de
la grammatisation, 1994: 82-85), ‘extended grammars’, that is grammatical
descriptions of languages using tools initially developed for another
language. The best known case, which constitutes a factor of theoretical
unification without equivalent in the history of the language sciences (Auroux
1994: 82), is that of the grammatical description developed for Latin, basis
of the grammaticization of the European vernaculars and of numerous ‘exotic
languages’, even today: the linguistic categories used for Latin – themselves
adopted from Greek grammars – were and are used to structure the descriptions
of languages other than Latin, whether they possess the same categories or
not. It is also important to mention the case of Arabic grammar, used to
describe, among other languages, Kurdish, Coptic and Syriac, as well as that
of Sanskrit grammar, which supplies the descriptive mould for several Asian
languages (varieties of Middle Indic, Dravidian languages, Old Javanese,
Sinhalese, etc.), a Siberian one (Buriat) and languages used far away from
Asia (Algonquian).
In the context of this workshop, we hope:

1) On the one hand, to increase  the documentation bearing on the transfer of
grammatical models, especially the Arabic and Sanskrit models (but any
proposal is welcome in which a case of transfer, past or contemporary, is
documented in a new way)

2) On the other, to offer some preliminary answers to the following questions:
- How did the transition from ‘extended Latin grammar’ to contemporary
linguistic description occur?
- Can all endogenous linguistic traditions (Arabic, Graeco-Latin,  Sanskrit)
serve as the basis for an extension?
- What connections can be established between inventories of languages
(linguistic compilations) and the extension of models? How far were linguistic
inventories able to escape from existing frameworks?


Call for Papers:

A workshop on Extended Grammars will be held at the 14th International
Conference for the History of the Linguistic Sciences (ICHoLS), August 28 -
September 1 2017 in Paris.

We welcome proposals for participation in the workshop: abstracts are limited
to 400 words, including bibliography. The deadline is October 1 2016, to be
submitted both on the website: http://ichols14.sciencesconf.org/user/submit
and to the workshop organizer: emilie.aussant at univ-paris-diderot.fr
