Synopsis
This book investigates the role of the Latin language as a vehicle for science and learning from several angles. First, the question what was understood as ‘science’ through time and how it is named in different languages, especially the Classical ones, is approached. Criteria for what did pass as scientific are found that point to ‘science’ as a kind of Greek Denkstil based on pattern-finding and their unbiased checking. In a second part, a brief diachronic panorama introduces schools of thought and authors who wrote in Latin from antiquity to the present. Latin’s heydays in this function are clearly the time between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries. Some niches where it was used longer are examined and reasons sought why Latin finally lost this lead-role. A third part seeks to define the peculiar characteristics of scientific Latin using corpus linguistic approaches. As a result, several types of scientific writing can be identified. The question of how to transfer science from one linguistic medium to another is never far: Latin inherited this role from Greek and is in turn the ancestor of science done in the modern vernaculars. At the end of the study, the importance of Latin science for modern science in English becomes evident.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Reihe Lingua Academica (LIAC) ist ein Forum für Publikationen zur Geschichte und Gegenwart der Wissenschaftssprachen. Entsprechende Arbeiten können zum einen an die traditionelle Fachsprachenforschung im akademischen Kontext anknüpfen und morphologische, lexikalisch-terminologische, lexikographische, syntaktische, phraseologische oder semiotische Spezifika wissenschaftlicher Sprachformen in den Blick nehmen. Zum anderen sind text- und diskurslinguistische sowie soziopragmatische, kontrastive, literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche und interdisziplinäre Arbeiten zu einzelnen Wissenschaftssprachen willkommen. Dabei geht es in allen Fällen darum, die Wissenschaftssprachen als komplexe, hoch funktionale Kommunikationsformen zu begreifen, die das Profil der europäischen Sprachen und die Gelehrten- und Bildungsgeschichte seit Jahrhunderten stark prägen. Die einzelnen, in der Regel disziplinär abgrenzbaren Wissenschaftssprachen stehen untereinander in vielfältigen Austauschprozessen und haben sich oft gegenseitig beeinflusst. Von Interesse sind deshalb auch die zahlreichen Entwicklungen und Ausformungen der Wissenschaftssprachen, die mit dem veränderten internationalen Status von Einzelsprachen wie vor allem Latein, Französisch, Deutsch und Englisch einhergehen. Neben der Konzentration auf die wissenschaftsinterne Kommunikation werden auch Arbeiten aufgenommen, die wissenschaftsexterne und populärwissenschaftliche Sprach- und Kommunikationsformen sowie Fragen des Wissenstransfers aufgreifen. In LIAC erscheinen sowohl Monographien als auch thematisch profilierte Sammelbände, die Publikationssprache ist entweder deutsch oder englisch. Alle Einreichungen werden in Zusammenarbeit mit einem wissenschaftlichen Beirat im Rahmen eines Peer-Review-Verfahrens geprüft. Die Reihe erscheint, von Ausnahmen abgesehen, im Open-Access-Modell, d. h. die Elektronisches Buch-Fassungen der LIAC-Bände stehen frei zur Verfügung; reguläre gedruckte Ausgaben sind parallel erhältlich.
