Greek and Latin Grammaticography

With the development of the Historiography of Linguistics as a theoretical and methodological perspective for the examination of texts from the past, and for the understanding of a “history of the language sciences,” several arguments have been put forward for a return to the sources of grammatical discourse (Taylor, 1987; Auroux, 1992; 2000; Auroux et al., 2006; Luhtala, 2005, among others). This has led to renewed interest not only in the more recent history of the discipline, but also in its Greek and Latin foundations, as evidenced by seminal studies: Law (1984, 1986, 1993; 2003), Baratin (1981), Baratin and Desbordes (1989), Desbordes (2007), Ildefonse (1997), Colombat and Lahassois (2019). In Brazil, a landmark work is Neves’s A vertente grega da gramática tradicional (1987), as well as studies on ancient grammar produced since the 1990s, among which we may highlight those by Pereira (2002, 2006), Martinho (2002, 2009), Fortes (2012, 2019), Beccari (2013), Dezotti (2011, 2013), and Freitas (2016), among many others. Building on these studies, this Workshop proposes to explore Greek and Latin grammaticography and its interfaces through the following subtopics:
- Greek and Latin grammarians in the history of the language sciences;
- Concepts, terminology, and translation of Ancient Greek and Latin grammars;
- Ancient grammar and its reverberations in the medieval and modern worlds;
- Ancient grammar and its interfaces with other disciplines (logic, rhetoric, music etc.);
- Historiographical methodology applied to the study of ancient grammarians.
