  • Toward a Syntactic Phylogeny of Modern Indo-European Languages*
    Toward a syntactic phylogeny of modern Indo-European languages* Giuseppe Longobardia,b, Cristina Guardianoc, Giuseppina Silvestria,d, Alessio Boattinie and Andrea Ceolin3 University of Trieste• I University of Yorkb I University of Modena e Reggio Emiliac I University of Pisad I University of Bologna• The Parametric Comparison Method (PCM, Guardiano & Longobardi 2005, Longobardi & Guardiano 2009) is grounded on the assumption that syntactic parameters are more appropriate than other traits for use as comparanda for his­ torical reconstruction, because they are able to provide unambiguous correspon­ dences and objective measurements, thus guaranteeing wide-range applicability and quantitative exactness. This article discusses a set of experiments explicitly designed to evaluate the impact of parametric syntax in representing historical relatedness, and performed on a selection of26 contemporary Indo-European varieties. The results show that PCM is in fact able to correctly identify genea­ logical relations even from modern languages only, performing as accurately as lexical methods, and that its effectiveness is not limited by interference effects such as 'horizontal' transmission. PCM is thus validated as a powerful tool for the analysis of historical relationships not only on a long-range perspective (as suggested by Longobardi & Guardiano 2009), but even on more focused, though independently well-known domains. Keywords: Parametric Comparison Method, historical reconstruction, syntactic distances, quantitative phylogenies, nominal domain 1 . Introduction The historical classification of Indo-European languages is traditionally based on the inspection oflexical entities (roots and grammatical morphemes) and ofsound laws connecting cognate words crosslinguistically. In contrast, syntactic struc­ tures have rarely been regarded as encoding relevant genealogical information. Such supposed lack of parallelism between syntactic and lexical classification was most explicitly challenged in Longobardi & Guardiano (2009).

  • Indo-European Linguistics: an Introduction Indo-European Linguistics an Introduction
    This page intentionally left blank Indo-European Linguistics The Indo-European language family comprises several hun- dred languages and dialects, including most of those spoken in Europe, and south, south-west and central Asia. Spoken by an estimated 3 billion people, it has the largest number of native speakers in the world today. This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the study of the Indo-European proto-language. It clearly sets out the methods for relating the languages to one another, presents an engaging discussion of the current debates and controversies concerning their clas- sification, and offers sample problems and suggestions for how to solve them. Complete with a comprehensive glossary, almost 100 tables in which language data and examples are clearly laid out, suggestions for further reading, discussion points and a range of exercises, this text will be an essential toolkit for all those studying historical linguistics, language typology and the Indo-European proto-language for the first time. james clackson is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge, and is Fellow and Direc- tor of Studies, Jesus College, University of Cambridge.

  • The Ancient Near East and the Genre of Greek Historiography*
    [will be published in: R. Rollinger / E. van Dongen (ed.), Mesopotamia in the Ancient World: Impact, Continuities, Parallels, Melammu Symposia 7, Münster: Ugarit-Verlag 2014] The Ancient Near East and the genre of Greek historiography* Birgit Gufler – Irene Madreiter 1. Introductory notes Ancient historiography is generally understood as a product of the so called Western world. In this context two fields of research which have triggered an emotional discussion, play an important role. The first one deals with the contacts between the Ancient Near East1 and the ‘Greek World’. In this regard, the impact of the East on Greek culture versus the independent development of the single city states in the Aegean region is disputed controversially. The second one debates the genre of ancient historiography as a history of events and its narrative character as well as the reliability of the ancient authors. The analysis of elements from the Middle East and their meaning in Greek historiographical (con-)texts is a desideratum for research and promises a better understanding of the genre of historiography between fact and fiction. In our project “Altorientalische Elemente in der antiken Historiographie: Herodot und Ktesias”, we analyze the Histories of Herodotus (5th c. BC) and the Persika of Ctesias (4th c. BC). In this paper we will expose some basic ideas underlying the topic respectively the project. Our paper is divided into three main parts: we will start with some considerations about Greek historiography. In the second part we will briefly focus on the scholarly debate on the contacts between the Ancient Near East and the Greek world and on methodological aspects.

  • The Energy of Language(S): What Pound Made of Philology
    THE ENERGY OF LANGUAGE(S): WHAT POUND MADE OF PHILOLOGY BY J. MARK SMITH Epos is not COLD history —Ezra Pound, letter to Lewis Maverick, 2 September 19571 I. INTRODUCTION Ezra Pound’s recollection of a conversation some thirty years earlier with the poet Robert Bridges, who loved the Anglo-Saxon lexis, and who strongly approved of the archaizing in Personae and Exultations, is the source of a passage in Canto 80: “forloyn” said Mr Bridges (Robert) “we’ll get ’em all back” meaning archaic words and there had been a fine old fellow named Furnivall2 Pound wrote elsewhere that Bridges’s enthusiasm for words like forloyn was not what he wanted to hear at a time when he “was just trying to find and use modern speech.”3 Forloyn is middle English hunting jargon, a word of French origin. A noun form of the word signifies “a note of recall” sounded by a hunter to bring home stragglers left behind by the main pack.4 Once one knows that, forloyn is just right, what with the traces in Bridges’s slogan of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s musings about the “reversionary wealth” of the English language.5 But perhaps, as Theodor Adorno did in the case of some German contem- poraries’ writings, we should register the presence of “a greed for the archaic”?6 Given Pound’s carefully-framed quotation of Bridge’s remark, the author of the Cantos cannot be simply pigeon-holed as a nostalgist of the Teutonic tongues or sloganeer for linguistic authenticity. In the passage above, notably, Pound sets “forloyn” into a sentence showing only that it belongs to the class of archaic words.

  • Language Under the Microscope: Science and Philology in English Fiction 1850-1914

I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. - 2 - Abstract This study explores how Anglophone fiction from the mid-Victorian period to the outbreak of the First World War acted as an imaginative testing-ground for theories of the evolution of language. Debates about the past development and the future of language ranged beyond the scope of empirical data and into speculative narrative. Fiction offered to realize such narratives in detail, building imaginative worlds out of different theories of language evolution. In the process, it also often tested these theories, exposing their contradictions. The lack of clear boundaries between nature and culture in language studies of the period enabled fictions of language evolution to explore questions to which contemporary researchers have returned. To what extent is communication instinctive or conventional? How do social and biological factors interact in the production of meaning? The study traces two opposing tendencies of thought on language evolution, naming them language ‗progressivism‘ and ‗vitalism‘. Progressivism imagined speakers evolving away from involuntary, instinctive vocalizations to extert rational control over their discourse with mechanical precision.

  • 1. Some Thoughts on Philology
    Transactions of the American Philological Association1. Some 137 Thoughts(2007) 477–481 on Philology 477 1. Some Thoughts on Philology julia haig gaisser Bryn Mawr College there’s no escaping the fact that philology has a bad name in some quarters—even in the American Philological Association, and even in its highest reaches (our Directors from time to time wring their hands over our fusty and, as some see it, outdated name). But irritation with philology is nothing new. We find it in such diverse characters as Seneca, Nietzsche, and Yeats, to name only a few. Recently, however, philology has found an unexpected champion, Edward Said, who presents a brilliant apologia in his essay “The Return to Philology.” The “abiding basis for all humanistic practice,” says Said, is “philological, that is, a detailed, patient scrutiny of and a lifelong attentiveness to the words and rhetorics by which language is used by human beings who exist in history” (Said 2004: 61). In this paper I will consider what philology—and by extension its servant the TLL—has to offer us as classicists in the twenty-first century. I will explore some of the charges leveled against it, mention some of its successful Renaissance practi- tioners, and suggest that philology is important to us at this moment in the intellectual life of our discipline not because it is a positivistic science that will bring us to “the truth” (it isn’t and it won’t), but because it is a dynamic study that helps us to understand both our own historical contingency and that of the ancient authors.1 Language is a slippery thing.

  • The History of Organization of a University of Chicago Unit Dealing with Linguistics Michael Silverstein Department of Linguisti
    The history of organization of a University of Chicago unit dealing with linguistics Michael Silverstein Department of Linguistics University of Chicago 2006 Already in the first Annual Register of The University of Chicago, for the academic year 1 July 1892 – 1 July 1893, Carl Darling Buck is listed (p.34) as “Assistant Professor of Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology,” and the “Department” of which he was the sole member is titled “Department of Sanskrit and Indo-European Comparative Philology,” the caption matching precisely the name of William Dwight Whitney’s chair at Yale (Whitney [1827-1894] was William Rainey Harper’s teacher and Doktorvater for his 1875 Yale Ph.D.) Buck rose to Associate Professor in 1894, Professor in 1900, and “Head of Department,” a title bestowed by the administration both distinct from and concurrent with the professorship, in 1903. The short title of the Department was “Department of Comparative Philology.” By the year 1905-06, as noted in the AR, p.198, Buck is joined in the Department by a varying succession of others, in that academic year notably including Samuel Northrup Harper, A.B., son of William Rainey Harper, as “Associate in Russian,” and Ghen-Ichiro Yoshioka, Ph.B., “Docent in Japanese.” These affiliations reveal that what we might term miscellaneous languages not under the purview of the various distinct Classical and Modern European Language and Literature departments were taken up by this Department of Comparative Philology as its charge, prefiguring the “LangLing” responsibilities of the present-day Department of Linguistics precisely. Also notable for 1905-06 (AR, p.199) is the course numbered 1, “General Introduction to the Study of Indo-European Philology,” taught by Buck in Spring Quarter, 1906.

  • A Critical Review on Historical Linguistic Written in Wikipedia
    A CRITICAL REVIEW ON HISTORICAL LINGUISTIC WRITTEN IN WIKIPEDIA Endang Yuliani Rahayu Universitas Stikubank Semarang Abstract When does a languague begin? The truth is that it happens since the era of Aristoteles. Learning from those great philosophers’ era, we might want to know further about historical languages. The history wil tell about the issues related to the languages and also other factors deal with it. The language here is not only English but also other languages. The record prove that there are some languages had been extinct since there are no more native speakers of the language. Since the language is found, the science of it is developed. The development of linguistics occurred until now. There are many branches of lingusitics. There have been some changes too due to the linguistics. To find out more about what historical linguistics is, the writer tries to give critical for the article uploaded in Wikipedia about Historicl Linguistics. Key words : language, linguistics, historical linguistics INTRODUCTION People communicate using language. There are two forms of languages namely verbal and non verbal. For the verbal type, we may say that it is spoken form but on the other hand the non verbal type belongs to written ones. What about body langauge? Which category does it belong to? Body langauge or is familiar with the term gesture belongs to non verbal language type. It is said so as the form of it is using the body part and body movement. Some people will say that this kind of language is known as sign language for special purpose.
