The volume is published on the occasion of the birth centennial of
Eugenio Coseriu (1921-2002). It is the first collective volume to
appear in English in which various scholars present a variety of
perspectives on Coseriu's scholarly work and discuss its continuing
relevance for the language sciences. Coseriu's international
reputation has suffered from his commitment to publish in languages
such as Spanish, German, French, Italian, Romanian and Portuguese,
to the detriment of English. As a consequence, his work is less
well-known outside Romance and German linguistics. The volume aims
to raise the general awareness of Coseriu's work among linguists
around the world, in accordance with Coseriu's own adage that it
takes a constructive mindset (acknowledging "accomplishments and
limitations") to do justice to all scholarly work in the
humanities. The articles are organized into three major thematic
clusters: 1) philosophy of language, 2) history of the language
sciences and 3) theory and practice of "Integral Linguistics". The
volume is essential reading for anyone working in these fields and
for those seeking to gain deeper understanding of Coseriu's goal to
develop a unitary approach to language which takes as its point of
departure the "activity of speaking".
