Description

In a Word, Philology: Etymology, Lexicography, Semantics, and More in Germanic has explored philological and linguistic topics in a wide range of premodern Germanic languages, particularly from comparative perspectives and in less commonly studied languages, for 7 years at the ICMS. The 8th iteration promises to be another session of broad interest for all who work within Germanic languages, including English.
