Meeting Description:
Etymology and the European Lexicon
Roots of Europe
University of Copenhagen, Denmark
17 September – 22 September 2012
The 14th Congress (Fachtagung) of the Indogermanische Gesellschaft / Society for Indo-European Studies / Société des Études Indo-Européennes is dedicated to the theme of ‘Etymology and the European Lexicon’.
Further information, including registration forms and information regarding travel and accommodation, will be posted on the website of Roots of Europe (rootsofeurope.ku.dk) in due time.
Call for Papers:
Priority will be given to submissions which raise issues of general relevance to Indo-European studies, rather than dealing with isolated problems within individual branches; however, all submissions relating to this general theme are welcome.
Possible subjects or subthemes could include the subgrouping of the Indo-European languages (e.g. NW Indo-European, Balkan Indo-European, the Centum-Satem division, Italo-Celtic, Balto-Slavic), the European lexicon as evidence for when and how Europe became Indo-Europeanized (e.g. semantic 'packages', Wörter und Sachen, culture-words), issues relating to pre-Indo-European substratum languages, or to conditions in other European language families (Vasconic, Tyrrhenian, Uralic, Altaic, Semitic etc.) that may shed new light on Indo-European or on the relations between Indo-European and these languages.
There will be no keynote speakers or parallel sessions; all submissions will be given equal consideration, but slots are limited.
Authors wishing to have a paper considered for the congress should submit an abstract of no more than 1,000 words (not including references) to rootsofeuropehum.ku.dk
The closing date for submission of abstracts is the 20 February 2012. Accepted papers must not be published before the time of the conference.
Inquiries should be directed to the secretaries at Roots of Europe: Janus Bahs Jacquet (jacquethum.ku.dk) and Tobias Mosbæk Søborg (tmshum.ku.dk).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
