LANGUAGE, TEXT & HISTORY: Linguistics and Philology in the 21st Century
A Symposium sponsored by the Philological Society
to be held on Friday 19th-Saturday 20th March, 2010
n Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge.
Call for Papers
For much of the 20th century it was common to figure Linguistics and
Philology as rivals or even antagonists in the field of language-study.
More recently, the border barriers have started to come down as
researchers on both sides have increasingly recognised the complex
interdependencies between code and context, synchrony and diachrony. The
aim of our symposium is to celebrate this new spirit of partnership and
to showcase some of the new research and researchers it will bring to
the fore in the 21st century. We therefore invite offers of papers from
doctoral students and early career researchers working on topics which
link language-structure to language history or textual practice. The
two-day event will also feature a hands-on workshop exploring ways in
which philological and linguistic approaches can enrich each other and a
panel discussion and Q&A session led by members of the Society
representing work across a range of language-families. The workshop will
be led by Professor Andrew Garrett of the University of California at
Berkeley, who will also give the concluding paper of the symposium on
Saturday 20th March. An outline programme is given below as well as
details of grants offered by the Society for student paper givers and
for student associate members of the Society participating in the
symposium workshop.
Offers of papers, accompanied by an abstract of not more than 150 words,
should be sent to Professor Sylvia Adamson at [log in to unmask]
by Monday 14 December 2009.
