Description

The ICMS session "In a Word, Philology: Etymology, Lexicography, Semantics, and More in Germanic" features interdisciplinary or cross-linguistic research on the medieval stages of many Germanic languages. While the exact topics differ each year, this is an opportunity for those working outside or across rather narrow disciplinary boundaries.
