Linguistic Field(s): History of Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 31-Jul-2017 

Meeting Description:

The goal of this conference is to gain a better understanding of transnational
exchanges between the German-speaking world and the rest of the world in the
fields of linguistics and philology. The period under consideration stretches
from the 16th century to the 20th. 
We welcome proposals dealing with the history of these bi-directional
transfers.

registration fee.

Papers will be allowed 30 min. (+10 min. for questions). 
Abstracts of 300 - 400 words must be submitted by e-mail as a file attachment
in Word to cglp at gmail.com. 

Abstracts should include: name and affiliation, e-mail address, title of
paper, abstract (if possible on one side of A4 in a typeface no smaller than
10). In your e-mail, please indicate the following: scheduling restrictions or

letter of acceptance (or indicate if an email acceptance is sufficient). 
Abstracts will be anonymized and submitted to a double-blind review.  
The languages of the conference are English, French and German. 
A selection of the papers will be published.

Themes:

Proposals may deal with the following topics (the list is not intended to
exhaust all possible subjects):

- The adaptation of Greek-Latin grammar to German.
- The role of Grammaire Générale in Germany. 
- Early studies on language classifications and genealogies (e.g. by Gessner
and Hervas y Panduro) and their role in later German linguistics.
- The constitution of modern philology toward the end of the 18th century, the
rise of hermeneutics, of Antiquity and Oriental studies, and the role of
Germany in this evolution. 
- Historical and comparative grammar, the Neogrammarians and their role
outside the German-speaking world (e.g. their reception and / or reworking by
Bréal, Saussure, Rask, Verner, Pedersen, Baudouin de Courtenay, Kruszewski,
Whitney, Bloomfield…).
- Naturalist linguistics (with Schleicher and his counterparts in other
countries, e.g. Hovelacque and Chavée).
- Anthropological linguistics and its German roots (cf. Boas). 
- Linguistic geography and dialectology (and its offshoots in Ascoli’s work,
as well as Gilléron’s and Edmont’s, Jaberg’s and Jud’s etc.). 
- Romance studies (such as Diez, but see also of the role of Jewish immigants
to the U.S., like Spitzer and Auerbach).
- The constitution of general linguistics and the interplay between German
investigations (e.g. Gabelentz, or psychological linguistics) and their
adaptations or parallels in other countries. 
- The influence of German psychological linguistics abroad, and foreign
strands of psychological linguistics, as compared to their German
counterparts.
- The relations between Germany and foreign structuralist schools. 
- The import of German ideas in contemporary linguistics (with an eye toward
the historical tranmission of these ideas). 
- Finally, papers may also focus on key individuals insofar as they played a
part in these scientific transfers.
