Cfp : First International Conference on Linguistic Terminology, Glossing and Phonemicization (Yamagata University, Japan, Feb. 22–23, 2020)

Posted on 29 August 2019 by Chloé Laplantine — Leave a comment

Hosted by the Japanese Linguistics Internationalization Committee
Held at Yamagata University, Yonezawa Campus, Japan, Feb. 22–23, 2020

Call for Papers

As linguistic research expands to cover an ever increasing number of languages and subfields, various collaborations have been carried out to standardize terminology and glossing practices. This has led to a wealth of useful resources such as Glottopedia or the Leipzig Glossing Rules, with various other projects currently underway. The Japanese Linguistics Internationalization Committee (JLINC), established in April 2019, aims to compile a list of English, German, French, Chinese and Korean translations for Japanese linguistics terminology as well as a set of interlinear glossing rules and phonemicizations for Japonic (Japanese-Ryūkyūan) languages and dialects.

Horizons of projection – The Future of Linguistic Knowledge: A Historical Perspective, open workshop at ICHoLS XV, 24–28 August 2020, Milan

Posted on 27 August 2019 by Chloé Laplantine — Leave a comment

Convenors:
Jean-Marie Fournier, Christian Puech, Valérie Raby (Université Sorbonne nouvelle – Paris 3 / Histoire des théories linguistiques)

The Fifteenth International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences, ICHoLS XV, will be held from 24–28 August 2020 in Milan. An open workshop on ‘Horizons of projection’ will be included in the programme. For this workshop, we invite abstracts for 20-minute papers (400 words max.) before 1 December 2019.

The workshop aims at exploring the “horizons of projection” of linguistics and the forms they may take depending on the historical and cultural context. A “Horizon of projection” can be defined as the anticipation of the evolution of a field of knowledge, a discipline, a theory or a school of thought. In other words the workshop will provide an opportunity to reflect on the history of the ways that, as Michelet put it, “each era dreams the next”.

The formalisation of grammatical meanings in Copenhagen structural linguistics. Some remarks.

Posted on 14 June 2019 by Lorenzo Cigana — Leave a comment

The aim of this outline contribution, which will receive a proper treatment elsewhere, is to describe a single piece within the broader mosaic of European Structuralism: an undercurrent of Danish structural linguistics focused on the analysis of the internal organisation of linguistic categories, in both their formal and semantic constitution. The principles of such analyses were discussed and developed within the Copenhagen Linguistic Circle. According to our hypothesis, they represent an important cohesive factor that may allow us to speak of a “Danish school” centred on this specific aspect.

The foreign entanglements of Mandarin Chinese in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

This blog post will discuss some transnational aspects of the history of Mandarin Chinese, what in the twentieth century became codified as the national language of China. I will first briefly discuss what China’s national language is, then look at a few aspects of its history that shows its entanglement with Inner Asian empires, non-Chinese languages, and scholars and students from elsewhere in East Asia and even Europe. Finally, I will discuss some of my own recent and ongoing research in this area, and end on what I think is an exciting avenue for future work.

Throughout my post, I will not make a strict separation of linguistic research on the history of the Mandarin language itself and historical research on the production and reception of the documents used to learn Mandarin in the past. I treat them as two aspects of the same story. The sources for the sounds of Mandarin are often the same documents that the historian uses to explore how it was studied.
