1. Amsler, Mark (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee): "A brief history of the letter"

     Within any disciplinary history of linguistics there is a subterranean history of the letter, with two underground levels: an archehistory of the origins of letters and writing, and a genealogical history of letter-sound correlations and their contentious relationships.  The invention of writing among the Sumerians constituted one of the earliest, if not the earliest, segmentations of spoken language, and the emergence of alphabetic writing among the Greeks further segmented language visually into what were conceptualized by the Sophists, Plato, Aristotle, Byzantine and Roman grammarians as "elements" (stoikheia, litterae).  Grammatical discourse after Plato was fundamentally fractured at its beginning because of the two definitions of the "letter": 1) an element of sound, 2) a written element.  Grammatical discourse attempted to unite these two definitions by presuming that spoken sound (phone) were to be correlated with written symbol (gramma), often in a one-to-one relationship. The Stoic grammarians (3rd c. BCE to 2nd c. CE) and the Roman imperial grammarians (3rd-5th cc. CE) repeatedly debated the growing gaps between written symbols and the speech sounds with which they were conventionally associated.  Throughout the early Middle Ages, grammarians and rhetoricians often noted how the written forms of many words in different languages did not correlate well with how they were spoken. Moreover, as literacy was disseminated from Latin discourse to vernacular languages, the alphabet was reimagined as a semiautonomous system capable of rendering nonLatin speech into written form.  New spelling systems were introduced by Abbo of Fleury (10th c), the First Icelandic Grammarian (12th c), Orme (12th c), and others to try and bring letter-sound correlations closer together.  However, none of these systems was widely adopted, even though more than one made explicit the phonetic value assigned to individual letters or groups of letters when read aloud or silently by vernacular readers and all acknowledged the reader’s role as one of providing "voice" to the silent letters.  The growth of silent reading as the western literate norm made any further audio-feedback modifications of letter-sound correlations irrelevant. Jewish and Arabic reading practices, pronouncing written consonants and supplying vowels, reveal by comparison how readers do not simply decode sound from script.  But the Neogrammarians’ critique of ancient and contemporary writing systems and promotion of the IPA (1877, 1889) represent a genealogical reversal and repetition of the founding linguistic moment in ancient Greece.  The authority of contemporary IPA description of speech depends on a linguistic discourse presumed to provide expert observation and technique, reproducible written descriptions based on repetitions of actual speech, and the desire for a "notation" (Goodman) discursively adequate to the object of investigation.  The "phonics culture" takes this neo-Platonic desire in language representation and popularizes it, idealizing reading as decoding from letters to sounds.

2. Boe, David (Northern Michigan University ): "Bloomfield, Carnap, and the development of linguistic empiricism"

     During a brief period, from 1936 to 1940, the American linguist Leonard Bloomfield (1887-1949) and the German linguistic philosopher Rudolf Carnap (1891-1970) crossed paths at the University of Chicago, where each had academic appointments. Although both theorists were influential in advocating radically empiricist approaches toward the study of language, it was several years prior to Carnap's arrival in the U.S. that Bloomfield had published his pivotal work Language (1933). By that time, Carnap had already become well known within analytic philosophy as a leading member of the Vienna Circle, and had published his first major work, Der Logische Aufbau der Welt (1928), in which a formal model of empiricism is developed. Carnap's involvement with the Vienna Circle led to the emergence of logical positivism, an anti-metaphysical (i.e., physicalist) orientation toward the analysis of language. No mention of this philosophical movement is made in Language, though in many ways it appears that Carnap's early work anticipates Bloomfield's behaviorist/descriptivist stance. The present paper examines the possible connection between the structuralism of Language and the positivism of Der Logische Aufbau der Welt, and suggests that Bloomfield's work reflects the unacknowledged influence of Carnap and early analytic philosophy.

3. Davis, Stuart (Indiana University): "Francis Lieber and the term 'holophrastic' as applied to the Indian languages of America"

     The term 'holophrastic' refers to the expressing of a whole phrase or combination of ideas by a single word. In the mid to late 19th century the word was used by linguists such as William Dwight Whitney and Daniel Brinton to describe the polysynthetic character of many of the native American languages.  The earliest attestation of the term given in the OED is 1860.  However, as Andresen (1990:118) points out, Francis Lieber first introduced the term in an 1837 article (Southern Literary Messenger) where he argued that 'holophrastic' is preferable to'polysynthesis', the term John Pickering used in his 1830 article on the 'lndian Languages of America'.  In this paper, after first presenting background on Francis Lieber, I trace Lieber's use of the term 'holophrastic' in his 1837 article and in some of his unpublished writings.  A main focus of the paper will be on an 1851 exchange of letters between Lieber and Henry Schoolcraft, the noted scholar on American Indian languages and customs.  It is in these letters that Lieber details why he coined the term 'holophrastic' and makes clear why he views the term as preferable to either 'polysynthetic' or 'agglutinative' to characterize native American languages.  Back to Program
 

4. Gerhardt, Ana Flávia (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil): "Theories and 
    concepts in Cognitive Linguistics - (mis)understandings"

     The development of a revolutionary concept of metaphor, which turned out to be seen, in the early eighties, as a cognitive phenomena rather than a figure of speech, has urged studies in Cognitive Linguistics, benefited by the concept of metaphor related to domains of conceptualizations, entities and experiences. Lately, several other concepts related to these domains have been developed and/or reformulated, such as mapping, metonymy, mental spaces, ICMs, grammatical constructions, representational redescription, blending, radiality, and some concepts of Cognitive Science and Microsociology have been integrated, such as prototypes, image schemas, frames, windowings and so on. Apart from important works in Cognitive Linguistics, this plethora of terms gave rise to some misunderstandings between what is really a theory of language as a realm of concepts epistemologically placed, and what is only a concept which should be integrated so some other to form a complete theory. Particulary, some concepts have been tackled as complete theories - "theory of metaphor," "theory of prototypes," "theory of mental spaces," but it is not possible to treat them as such because they lack a complete theoretical assembly; instead, they should be related to other concepts for a clear understanding to Cognitive Linguistics as a whole.

5. Hyman, Malcom D. (Harvard University): "Greek and Roman Grammarians on Motion 
    Verbs and Place Adverbials"

     I present here a case study that illustrates the fashion in which the Graeco-Roman grammatical tradition dealt with the interaction between syntactic and semantic phenomena. Local adverbs (topika epirrhêmata, adverbia localia) were assigned to semantic place categories (topikai scheseis) such as "place-in-which" (schesis en topô) or "place-to-which" (schesis eis topon). The grammarians recognized, moreover, that motion verbs typically patterned with “place-to-which” adverbials, while locative verbs patterned with "place-in-which" adverbials. Co-occurrence of a motion verb and a "place-in-which" adverbial was held to constitute ungrammaticality (soloikismos). Linguistic developments in popular Greek and Latin (which differed from the prescriptively sanctioned classical form of these languages) motivated a concern with such "ungrammatical" constructions. The whole analysis, however, suffered from various limitations and failed to accord with much empirical data - as some ancient authors recognized. Attempts to reconcile the theory with the data demonstrate both the potentials and the limitations of the linguistic framework within which Greek and Roman grammarians worked.    Back to Program
 

6. Pierce, Marc (University of Michigan): "Recent Trends in the Analysis of  Sievers’ Law in 
    Gothic"

     In 1878 Eduard Sievers proposed his eponymous law, in order to account for certain vowel/semivowel alternations found in a number of Indo-European language families (certainly in Germanic, Indic, and Iranian, possibly also in Baltic, Celtic, Hellenic, Italic, and Slavic).  Sievers’ own formulation of his law is the following: "unbetontes i oder uist consonant nach kurzer, vokal nach langer silbe, ohne rücksicht auf die sonstige accentlage des wortes" (Sievers 1878: 129), and was intended to account for the variation between forms like Gothic nasjis "(thou) savest' and sôkeis '(thou) seekest.'  Despite the massive body of literature on this topic, a comprehensive survey of the history of Sievers’ Law as a scientific concept remains a desideratum.
     This paper represents a first step towards this goal.  It examines various recent trends in the analysis of Sievers’ Law in Gothic.  Analyses discussed include Kiparsky (1998), an Optimality Theory analysis; Barrack (1998), which relies largely on the Syllable Preference Laws codified in Vennemann (1988); and Kim (2001), a Lexical Phonology analysis.  The goal of the paper is, however, not merely to recount various recent analyses, but rather to highlight some of the trends discernible in recent research.                                           Back to Program
 

7. Rutten, Gijsbert J. Rutten (University of Nijmegen): "The concept of the nature of a 
    language in seventeenth and eighteenth century linguistics"

    In English grammars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (e.g. Miège, Greenwood), concepts such as the ground or the nature (or the reason, the genius) of language function as a standard by which language practices are measured. In Germany grammarians (e.g. Schottel, Morhof) appeal to Deutschheit as the main norm for Spracharbeit. French and Dutch linguists (e.g. Vaugelas, Buffier, Moonen, Ten Kate) search for the nature of their language either in the works of celebrated literary authors or in history. The highly theoretical notion of the nature of a language constantly leads to clear practical decisions on the correctness of particular usages.
     I would like to show that the concept of the nature of a language dominates seventeenth and eighteenth century English, German, French and Dutch linguistics. Also, I will offer a typology of the different elaborations of the concept. The nature of a language is conceived as
- a minimal set of universal logical rules (typical: Arnauld)
- an ideal correspondence of language, mind and reality (typical: Wilkins, Leibniz)
- situated in the linguistic past (typical: Ten Kate)
- disclosed in a certain usage (typical: les Remarqueurs).    Back to Program
 

8. Thomas, Margaret (Boston College): "What do we talk about, when we talk about 'universal 
     grammar,' and how have we talked about it?"

     Western language science has variously employed the expression 'universal grammar' since at least the 17th century (Padley 1976), while conceiving of its referent variously. Continuity of use of the term - stretching across intervals when it fell out of fashion - disguises the very different matters which linguists have referred to as 'universal grammar.' This presentation examines several generations of  statements about universal grammar up to the present day, working toward a history of the term and its referent.  I attend to the implications of (1) the differing syntactic subclasses to which 'universal grammar' has been attributed (modified count noun; compound noun; proper noun; mass noun), and (2) the metaphors linguists have used to elaborate on universal grammar or deny its existence. For example: in the 1600s - 1700s, universal grammar was typically contrasted with 'particular grammars,' both of which were understood to reside within individual languages; in 1860 Steinthal declared that 'a universal grammar' (as he defined it) 'is no more conceivable than...a universal plant or animal form'; in 1975 Chomsky's 'universal grammar' was a biologically-based 'system of principles, conditions, and rules'; by 1995, Chomskyan 'Universal Grammar' was the 'theory of the initial state [of the child language-learner].'
 

     ICHoLS 9 took place in São Paulo and Campinas, Brazil, August 27-30, 2002.  This triennial conference took full advantage of the South American venue.  Fully half the speakers were from South America, providing many new perspectives and introducing those of us who came from other continents to previously unknown grammars and theoretical works. 

     It was very gratifying to see new generations of linguistic historiographers joining our ranks.  Among many excellent talks, I would like to single out two young colleagues who made exemplary presentations.  Jose Horta Nunes spoke about the representation of specifically Brazilian Portuguese in Portuguese lexicography, a trait that has many parallels in the description of all languages with multiple standards.  Odile Leclercq made an extremely well-organized presentation concerning the first edition of the Dictionnaire de l’Académie Française. 

     Of course many very familiar names were present as well.  The organizers invited all the previous organizers to give plenary talks, along with several Brazilian luminaries.   Some chose to focus on particular scholars (Aarsleff on Humboldt, Jankowsky on Reiske, Ahlqvist on Colliander), while others (Orlandi, Neves) took on broader topics.  Sylvain Auroux brought the conference to a close with a very pertinent look at the notion of progress in linguistics, and in linguistic historiography. 

     This theme could well be continued in the next ICHoLS conference that will take place at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, probably during the Labor Day weekend of 2005 (September 2-5).  More news on this event will be forthcoming, but I certainly want to extend the warmest welcome to all NAAHoLS members for this event.  This will be the first conference in North America since the Georgetown conference of 1993.

     At ICHoLS 10 I hope that we will continue discussions already started, and seek to connect these to directions that linguistic research might take in the future.  In part this might include treatment of what theorists have considered natural in natural languages, and of the impact of different notions of science in “scientific linguistics”.  It might also be interesting to reconsider the impact of the “discovery” of non-Western languages on Western linguistic thought, and to consider what paths linguistics might take as the number of newly discovered languages, and therefore the number of newly discovered linguistic traits, diminishes.

     The many area studies centers at the University of Illinois are anxious to work with linguists around the world to explore linguistic traditions from outside the Western European canon.  The University has centers focused on Africa, East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean and Russia and Eastern Europe.  In addition, the very active Medieval Studies Center encourages the study of European and Mediterranean linguistic traditions from 500-1500 C.E.   It would be quite appropriate for scholars specializing on medieval studies to honor the late Dr. Vivien Law by proposing sessions focused on this period.

     This is not at all to limit the range of possible topics to be presented at ICHoLS 10.  I would like to encourage all to contribute their ideas on how to make this a successful conference.  We can promise a warm welcome to all at ICHoLS 10 in Champaign-Urbana in 2005.

After the discovery of the New World the Europeans began to establish their hegemony in a new continent. European expansion, colonisation and christianization of a large number and variety of Amerindian tribes was accompanied by the study and recording of the native languages of the Americas. In the same period, Christian missionary activities escalated in Asia, especially the Far East, and in Russia, and a little later in Africa. In the early 19th century, the Pacific became a new "America" for missionary linguistics. This congress aims to outline the state of research done in the field. The subjects are to some extent limited in time (focusing primarily on the period 1492-1850) but not in space. This conference aims particularly at inter-relating grammars written in different languages (Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, Dutch, etc.), by missionaries of different orders (Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits, etc.), and in different continents. We wish to 'globalise' the discipline, crossing national and linguistic frontiers in order to create new views and to open new horizons. Subscriptions and more information on page:
