Annual Lipitz Lecture: If That Language May Be Dying, Why Are You Studying It? (Public Lecture or Presentation)
Title: Annual Lipitz Lecture: If That Language May Be Dying, Why Are You Studying It?
Abstract: Current interest in endangered languages provides an opportunity to reflect on the ways in which linguistics tackles the study of language. These are more varied than outsiders tend to assume and leave linguists uncertain about how they fit into C.P. Snow’s “two cultures” schema of science and the humanities. Professor Field will provide examples from his work on the history and current status of Gascon.

Title: Langue et société au 13e siècle à la lumière du Corpus électronique du gascon médiéval.
Author: Field, Thomas
Editor: Rieger, Angelica
Abstract: The new Electronic Corpus of Medieval Gascon provides a catalogue of existing documents from the région, a tool that facilitates the empirical study of one of the least well-understood varieties of Romance, and a base for exploring the cultural processes that underly literacy in a Medieval society. Ultimately, it allows for new ways of envisioning centers of cultural interest and axes of communication in the Medieval world.
