Lost in linguistics. A guide to the current landscape of linguistic theory.
Oslo, 10-14 October 2011
 
During the 20th century and up to now, the field of linguistics has
developed into many different directions and into various theories and
subtheories (and sub-subtheories!). The result is a quite intricate
scientific landscape where it can be difficult to orient oneself. Theories
can be difficult to compare, not only because they build on different
premises, but also because their terminology is often internal: the same
term can have quite divergent meanings in different frameworks and very
similar concepts can be referred to by completely different terms.
Moreover, differences and boarders between theories are not always clearly
traced or stated, and theoretical assumptions - not always easily
identifiable - are often left implicit in scientific contributions.
Therefore, it can be challenging for young researchers both to situate
their own research in a larger context and to use and possibly combine
differently oriented literature.

The aim of the course is to provide a systematic comparison of theories and
an explicit overview of their implications in the different domains that
would help to create a comprehensive picture of the theoretical bases of
the field. To provide tools to understand literature and own research in a
larger context, the course will:
- trace the main lines of recent theoretical development within linguistics
- compare and contrast the most influential theories with emphasis on their
application on different subdisciplines and their implications for
different attitudes towards data.

No tuition fee. Travel and accommodation at own expenses.

NB! Regarding the accommodation, though, we are also trying to establish 
a (free) "hospitality network": we still don`t know how many places 
we will be able to offer, but it is important to let us know 
as soon as possible if such a solution is desired, 
in order for us to be able to get an idea of the demand 
and the number of places needed.

to be organized on September 20th- 23rd 2011 in Bucharest, Romania.


Suggested topics include:

-      The formation of the Vedic canon: from family books to Vedic shâkhâs, 
from Traividya to Caturveda;
-      Vedic schools and Vedic "dialects": shâkhâs and prâtishâkhyas;
-      The relation between shâkhâs and caranas of the same or  
different Vedas (Rg, Sâma, Yajur, Atharva): borrowing, citation,  
supplementation, usurpation (YV hautra);
-      Vedic shâkhâs and caranas  in the performance of Vedic ritual: 
compatibility, incompatibility, competition and cooperation;
-      Sources for the localization and history of the shâkhâs and 
their promoters (inscriptions, manuscript colophons, literary sources, etc.);
-      Self-reflexivity of the Vedic tradition and its shâkhâs:
anukramanîs, the (Yajur) vedavrksha;
-      A recourse to svashâkhâ: the medieval and modern prayogas  
and paddhatis.

Speakers will be invited on the basis of submitted abstracts of  
proposed contributions (before 30 January 2011).
