Description

"In a Word, Philology: Etymology, Lexicography, Semantics, and More in Germanic" gathers researchers in premodern Germanic languages and dialects across disciplinary boundaries and broadens the scope of Germanic languages at the International Congress on Medieval Studies. Comparative papers and those on less-represented languages are particularly welcome.
