POUR UNE HISTORIOGRAPHIE ENGAGÉE: OR WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE HISTORY OF LINGUISTICS

The present paper intends to voice a series of critical observations based on the author's thirty-five years in the field, while at the same time offering a number of suggestions as to how the history of linguistics may improve its scholarship, and its image. Several years ago, members of the Henry Sweet Society got to read a lengthy quotation from Frederick Neumeyer's introduction to his 1996 book 'Generative Linguistics: A historical perspective' in which he reports that many of his colleagues 'feared that (he) would become tarred with the brush of being an 'historian of linguistics', who, (-), occupy a status level even lower than that of a 'semiotician' ' (HSS Bulletin 26.25). Newmeyer explained 'That this attitude results from the belief that most people who write on the history of linguistics have only the most minimal training in modern linguistics and devote their careers to attempting to demonstrate that their pet medieval grammarian or philosopher thought up some technical term before somebody's else's pet medieval grammarian or philosopher' (1996: 2). This is no doubt a caricature of what most of us have been doing during the past twenty and more years, but the suspicion may be lurking that on some aspects Newmeyer's friends may not have been entirely off the mark. One does not have to share Rüdiger Schreyer's more recent assessment either according to which 'nobody takes much interest in, or notice of, linguistic historiography - nobody in the big world beyond the ivory towers (of academe) and nobody in the linguistic community that is the natural habitat of the linguistic historiographer' (2000: 206), and maybe this would be too much to expect: 'beyond the ivory towers' even Noam Chomsky would not have become as widely known had he not become a critic of US foreign policy. Peter Schmitter is no doubt right in saying that it is not enough to write 'intelligent treatises on the necessity and usefulness of historiographic research', but his concession (Schmitter 2003a: 214) that he himself has no concrete proposal to make as to how to remedy the situation is not too encouraging. It may well be that many practitioners of linguistic historiography have become too self-satisfied and inward looking over the years, given the availability of three journals, several bulletins, an ever-increasing number of colloquia, conferences, and other international meetings around the world. It seems to me that there is enough blame to go around. One may be more inclined to share Peter Schmitter's disappointment that the findings of linguistic historiography have not successfully entered into textbooks, dictionaries of linguistic terminology, and other such places.

Cognitive conception of language in works of Jan Michal Rozwadowski

Connections between the process of perception of reality, its cognition and verbalisation of concepts constitute main subject of cognitive linguistics but were noticed and described earlier. According to Jan Rozwadowski (1867-1935) language pictures the world, and changes in language are conditioned by the ways of world's perception by humans. The article presents also other conceptions of Rozwadowski that are similar to cognitive linguistics: role of culture in the process of naming, shifts in words' meaning, connection between semantics and grammar, and metaphor as a fundamental mechanism of language.

The structured movement of meanings is a basic dimension of the history of linguistics. The perspective of personalities, schools and national traditions is more or less a kind of materialization in this context. This way of understanding historiography enables us to explicate overall directions of linguistics - the relationships of main- and side-streams of development, regressions, and periods of emancipation and interdisciplination. It enables us to identify not only cul-de-sac development, but also misunderstood and forgotten lines of development that would only appear to be promising in the future.

In the present contribution written record of public criticism of the journal Listy filologicke in January 1952 is edited. This document bears an interesting witness of the period: by reproaching the journal with various offences against the ideas of communist authorities such as not reporting on Soviet linguistics or not publishing papers on practical topics, in actual fact the subsequent change of its publisher was legitimized.

The paper gives an overview of the research conducted in the field of speech and language disorders throughout the history of language sciences. Until the emergence of modern linguistics the primary aim of researchers was to get acquainted with speech and language disorders in view of describing them. From the era of structuralism the primary aim has moved to hypothesis testing and validating linguistic theories. Aphasia, signing of both healthy and aphasic deaf patients, disordered course of language acquisition, oesophagal speech and fluency disorders have been the preferred topics. The outcome has been a better and more complete understanding of the structure of human language and of its functioning in the transmission of information.

The article discusses the issue of perspective in linguistic historiography. The main question is that of how the historiographic perspective changes the description of a given historical epoch. This is demonstrated using three different descriptions of an important period in Czech linguistics, or more precisely, in Czech thought about language culture delimited by the works of Jan Gebauer, Josef Zubaty and Vaclav Ertl. Each of these descriptions is an example of one distinctive type of historiographic perspective and each is analyzed in a metahistoriographic manner in the second part of the article. The views of philosophers Stephen Toulmin and T. S. Kuhn are introduced and interpreted for these purposes.

Vladimir Skalicka's contributions to linguistic typology have been widely recognized. This paper tries to capture the significance of the problem of language diversity in its broadest sense for the development of Skalicka's scholarship and for his scientific legacy. The author argues that in a 1947 Czech-language article titled 'The problem of language diversity' published in Slovo a slovesnost, Skalicka gave in fact a sketch of a blueprint for modern linguistics in which he advocated a holistic approach to the study of language through a balanced texture of the triple aspect of language: its semiotic nature, its diversity and its structure. The least one can say is that Skalicka seems to have followed these self-imposed, yet highly stimulating guidelines for the rest of his life. The final part of the paper is an attempt at summarizing Skalicka's contribution to the understanding of the semiotic connection of linguistic typology and the mutual relations between language and mind or language and society. The author concludes that although Skalicka did not directly answer or even explicitly ask the question of why languages differ from each other, he nevertheless cleared the way for future attempts at a structural explanation of the origins of language diversity.
