This volume brings together a diverse range of scholars to address
important philosophical and interdisciplinary questions in the
study of language. Linguistics throughout history has been a
conduit to the study of the mind, brain, societal structure,
literature and history itself. The epistemic and methodological
transfer between the sciences and humanities in regards to
linguistics has often been documented, but the underlying
philosophical issues have not always been adequately addressed.
With 15 original and interdisciplinary chapters, this volume
therefore tackles vital questions relating to the philosophy,
history, and theoretical interplay between the study of language
and fields as varied as logic, physics, biology, classical
philology and neuroscience. With a four part structure, questions
of the mathematical foundations of linguistics, links to the
natural sciences, cognitive implications and historical
connections, take centre stage throughout the volume. The final
chapters present research related to the linguistic connections
between history, philosophy and the humanities more broadly.
Advancing new avenues of research, this volume is exemplary in its
treatment of diachronic and cross-disciplinary interaction, and
will be of interest to all scholars interested in the study of
language.
