4) XVIth International Colloquium of the Studienkreis Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft 
    (SGdS), Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany, 4-6 March 2004

     The XVIth International Colloquium of the “Studienkreis Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft” (SGdS) will be held at the Humboldt University of Berlin from 4 to 6 March 2004. The organisers are Dr. Thorsten Fögen (Berlin) and Professor Dr. Peter Schmitter (Seoul & Münster).
     Information about Berlin and the Humboldt University can be found on the Internet (http://www.berlin.de and http://www.hu-berlin.de respectively).  Participants shall receive detailed information regarding directions to the conference site, accommodation and cultural life in Berlin in due course.
     There will be a general section on the history of linguistics and a special section on “Historical and cultural dimensions of technical texts and languages for special purposes”.  For the special section, papers from classical philologists are particularly wel-come, but contributions focussing on the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the modern period are also much appreciated. 
     Conference languages are, as usual, German, English, and French, but in exceptional cases it will also be possible to give a paper in Italian. 

Call for Papers
For the section on technical texts and languages for special purposes, the following aspects may serve as guidelines for choosing a topic for a paper, although they are by no means meant to be exhaustive:

• On the development and diversification of the genre “technical text”
• Morphological, syntactical, semantic, and pragmatic characteristics of languages for special purposes and of technical texts 
• Technical texts across languages and cultures
• The role of polemics in technical texts: self-presentation and criticism of other authors 
• Oral and written technical communication
• Commenting on technical “classics” (e.g., Hippocrates, Vitruvius)
• Homogeneity and heterogeneity of technical literature
• Forms of citing and referring, in particular of self-reference
• Text and illustration 
• The use of formalised languages (e.g., mathematical formulae) as an element of languages for special purposes
