Linguistic Field(s): History of Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2016 

Meeting Description:

A workshop on Etymology and Linguistic Historiography will be held at the 14th
International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS). 
Proposals for participation in the workshop are welcome.

Etymology is one of the oldest subfields of linguistics, with a tradition
going back to classical times. And, while it had been neglected for years, it
has been enjoying something of a resurgence of late. Traditional
methodologies, including some that go back to the very beginnings of
scientific historical/ comparative linguistics, are being challenged,
well-established etymologies are being reconsidered, new handbooks are
appearing, and etymologies are being taken in entirely new directions by some
scholars.  There is a correspondingly long tradition of historiographical
approaches to etymology. A good deal of work in this area has focused on
classical or medieval etymology, while another recent strand of research has
attempted to contextualize the history of etymology within the history of
ideas, and thus within the more general field of intellectual history.

The goal of this proposed workshop is therefore to tap into both of these
veins of research, by drawing together scholars interested in both etymology
and linguistic historiography,and by providing them with an opportunity to
consider relevant topics in a conference setting.

The workshop is intended (1) to allow several scholars to report on their
current research projects involving etymology from a historiographical
perspective, (2) to draw increased attention to historiographical etymological
research in the setting of ICHoLS, through the papers presented formally, the
more general discussion in the workshop, and conversations about etymology and
linguistic historiography in more informal settings over the course of the
conference, and (3) to increase research on etymology and historiography. 


Call for Papers:

Proposals for participation in the workshop are welcomed.  Please submit an
abstract of up to 500 words, both on the conference website
(https://ichols14.sciencesconf.org/user/submit) and to the workshop organizer
(mpierc at austin.utexas.edu).  The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2016.
