CFA: Workshop on Ideas on Language Throughout the Ages
Date: September 12, 2019

We welcome scholars to participate in a one-day workshop on how language has

philosophical, linguistic, psychological, and socio-anthropological schools of
thought. Possible topics can include but are not limited to:

- Origins and rationale of logic and semantics as areas of research
- Origins, histories, and methodologies of philology, diachronic and
synchronic linguistics, Chomsky’s linguistics, biolinguistics and cognitive
linguistics
- Origins, histories, and methodologies of anthropological linguistics and
sociolinguistics
- The role of language in different cosmologies, religions and ideologies
- Language as order, knowledge and reason (logos theories, universalia
debates, rationalism)
- The social and political role of language as debated by social contract
theoreticians and moral philosophers
- The search for an “Adamic” language or the reconstruction of a “mother
language,” “primordial”- or “proto”-language
- Ideas on the “purification” of existing languages for purposes of knowledge
acquisition or communication
- Language versus communication
- The reference problem & the indeterminacy of translation
- Language as the limit of one’s world
- Language games, language as power, language as identity and nationality
- Signs and codes as defined in (bio)semiotics and their relation to concepts
of information, communication and language
- Evolutionary epistemology and language
- Language and consciousness, language and cognition
- Embodiment and language
- Body language
- Language as culture
- Language and art
