Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

In its development from Old English to today, the English vocabulary underwent
a radical restructuring due to an enormous influx of (complex) lexemes from
Latin, Anglo-Norman, French, Greek, and other languages. Even though
historical linguistics has traced and investigated many aspects of the complex
mechanisms of language contact involved in all levels of language, studies on
historical word-formation are comparatively rare (cf., e.g., Kastovsky 1968
and 2007; Faiß 1992; Sauer 1992; Ciszek 2008; Fisiak/Bator 2013; see also
further below). For this reason, our 2023 symposium at Munich University
focuses on English word-formation from the earliest texts to the Late Modern
English period. We invite studies in Old, Middle, and/or Early and Late Modern
English with a specifically historical perspective, working with different
theoretical and methodological approaches – functional, semantic,
socio-pragmatic, sociolinguistic, cognitive, computational, etc.
