Meeting Description:

(Session of the Leeds International Medieval Congress)

A number of people in the medieval studies and historical linguistics fields
have noted over recent years that, typically, historical linguistics has not
had a very prominent place at Leeds IMC. This proposal is attempting to help
remedy this situation and provide an avenue for historical linguists to become
more involved in this important international conference - one of the biggest
global medieval conferences in the academic year.


Call for Papers:

Abstracts are invited for papers in historical linguistics for a panel or
panels addressing the topic
‘Linguistic Borderlands, Speaking of Boundaries’

The panel/s will provide an opportunity for discussion of topics dealing with
historical linguistic theory and/or specific historical linguistic analyses. 

Process:

This is the first public Call for Papers for the proposed panel/s. Paper
proposals including an abstract of approx. 150 – 200 words are invited, to be
sent to Roderick McDonald mcdrod at gmail.com by 31 July, 2019. A reminder call
will be sent out in early August.

Paper Proposals:

Bearing in mind the medieval orientation of the conference, both theoretical
and specific subject-analytical papers are invited, and your proposal might
consider one or more of the following subject ideas, or other relevant topics
that fit under the broad borders theme:

- Language boundaries 
- Language, language contact and language change at the borders
- The language of marginal or other overlooked inscriptions, whether in
manuscript or stone, whether textual or graphic
- Contexts (theoretical, political, cultural, academic) influencing the study
of historical linguistic behaviours 
- Modern concepts of language boundaries and implications for the study of
historical languages
- Implications of historical (temporal) distance of linguistic behaviours as a
boundary/barrier to scholarship 
- Implications of borders and boundaries between disciplines as constraints
and/or as offering opportunities
- Linguistic boundaries as an impediment to scholarship 
- how do hierarchies of languages of academic scholarship constrain the work? 
- how do divergent historical languages and historical boundaries between
languages impact on the scholarship?

Organisers:

Christine Wallis (University of Sheffield), Emily Reed (University of
Sheffield), Roderick McDonald (Emu Forge), Seàn Vrieland (Københavns
Universitet)
