Last Papers in Linguistic Historiography
Editor
This volume brings together — in 8 chapters — what has occupied the author during his many years as editor of Historiographia Linguistica. Namely, how the history of linguistics has developed into a major field of scholarly research, and that the discussion of questions of method and epistemology needs to be continued to avoid stereotypical practice. The author takes up a number of subjects that often had been regarded as settled, but which require a revisit. This is shown in several chapters, whether it appears subjects like ‘analogy’ or the relationships between well-known linguists like Saussure, Hermann Paul, and others.

“On ne peut douter que [E.F.K. Koerner], en dépit de l’intitulé last papers, continue à peser à l’avenir sur l’étude des grands mouvements de la pensée linguistique, comme il l’a fait depuis près d’un demi-siècle à la tête de la revue Historiographia Linguistica”
