Abstract:

When linguistics was first established as an academic discipline in thenineteenth century, it was envisaged as an essentially historical study.Languages were to be treated as historical objects, evolving throughgradual but constant processes of change over long periods of time. Inrecent years, however, there has been much discussion by historians of a'linguistic turn' in their own discipline, and, in linguistics,integrationist theory has mounted a radical challenge to the traditionalnotion of 'languages' as possible objects of inquiry.

Language and History develops the integrationist critique of orthodoxlinguistics, while at the same time extending its implications to the fieldof history. By doing so, it throws light on what is now recognized by manyhistorians to be a 'crisis' in their own discipline. Underlying thepost-modernist skepticism about traditional forms of historiography, theintegrationist approach reveals a more deep-seated problem concerning theinterface between philosophy of history and philosophy of language. Withchapters from a range of leading international contributors, Language andHistory represents a significant contribution to the developing work of theintegrationists.
