The articles in this volume come from the section »Historical Pragmatics and Historical Variety Linguistics. Scientific Practice and Methodology - Divergences and Convergences «, which will be presented on September 29th and 30th, 2003 at XXVIII. German Romanistentag took place in Kiel. The conception and planning of this section was based on the insight that historical pragmatics and historical variety linguistics have numerous points of contact and overlap in their objects and methods, but have developed in quite different ways institutionally and in their research traditions. Against this background, the section's contributions aim to name and comment on the convergences and divergences of the two disciplines within the framework of a reflected dialogue.

In the past 30 years, the study of bilingualism processing has been conducted independently by two fields, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics. This volume merges these two fields, addressing one of the tough problems dividing researchers in bilingualism, conceptually as well as methodologically. Joel Walters proposes a new approach to bilingualism processing--the Sociopragmatic-Psycholinguistic (SPPL) Model--which presents language as a social phenomenon. The author accomplishes this by identifying and organizing evidence from a wide range of linguistic disciplines, merging sociopragmatics

Comme l’indoeuropéen et l’austronésien, le domaine bantu est un exemple réussi d’application de la méthode comparative. On est en effet parvenu à restituer le berceau originel de la famille des langues bantu, à reconstruire la proto-langue ou à esquisser la culture des proto-locuteurs. En revanche, il reste à savoir comment les 500 langues concernées se sont constituées, et comment elles se sont répandues depuis la frontière nigéro-camerounaise jusqu’à occuper presque tout le sous-continent, du centre du Cameroun à l’Afrique du Sud. Le présent ouvrage apporte des éléments de réponse décisifs à ces questions. Après avoir rappelé les fondements et les méthodes de la linguistique historique et comparative, l’auteur étudie les principales propositions sur la langue originelle et les plus récentes tentatives de classification des langues bantu. L’examen de lexiques spécifiques, tels la faune ou la flore, lui permet de reconstruire la forme lexicale qu’auraient dû avoir ces termes dans la proto-langue, et de déterminer s’il s’agit de convergence ou d’emprunt. La reconstruction des racines permet d’inférer les caractéristiques d’une société du néolithique, pratiquant l’agriculture et l’élevage du petit bétail, la pêche et la navigation fluviale. Puis l’analyse des structures des langues met en évidence au moins deux groupes de langues qui se séparent, le bantu de l’Ouest et le bantu de l’Est, migrations initiales qui voient la naissance de la métallurgie du fer. Dans la dernière partie, l’auteur montre comment les langues bantu du Gabon se sont constituées à la suite de l’éclatement progressif du bantu de l’Ouest. Cette étude réussit à reconstruire des pans importants de l’histoire linguistique et culturelle des Bantu par un processus original de mise en concordance des données linguistiques, archéologiques, anthropologiques et génétiques. Le Gabon, proche du foyer d’origine des 500 langues bantu, y apparaît un laboratoire privilégié de l’anthropodiversité.
