12th International Conference on Missionary Linguistics:
Early Linguistic Encounters between Europe and Asia
The 12th International Conference on Missionary Linguistics will take place in Hsinchu (Taiwan) from March 28 to 30, 2025, organized by the Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences and the Center for Sustainable Development of Linguistic Diversity in Taiwan (SDLD) of National Tsinghua University. Situated at the intersections of linguistic historiography, historical linguistics and historical sociolinguistics, research in the field of Missionary Linguistics aims at understanding how and for what purpose Western missionaries documented and analyzed hitherto unknown languages of Asia, Africa and the Americas. Covering the period from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century, primary sources of interest are grammars, dictionaries, and teaching manuals. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers who study historical language change, the historical development of linguistic terms and concepts, early ideological conceptualizations of language or other relevant topics through the lens of missionary documents. As with the previous conferences in Oslo, São Paulo, Macau/Hong Kong, Valladolid (Spain), Mérida (Mexico), Tokyo, Bremen (Germany), Lima, Manila, Rome, and Santa Rosa (Argentina), the conference aims to cover a broad spectrum of regions and periods.
