The lecture does not set out to sketch a teleology of 'the' discipline of ('modern') linguistics. Rather than that, die diversity and heterogeneity of the discipline is highlighted (as well as of its notion of 'language' or the understanding of what are to be considered linguistics' central objects). This is done by example of diverse strands, paradigms and controversies that mark the history of linguistics. Another (central) part of the history of linguistics, as it is focused in this lecture, is the history of the discipline's political involvements (particularly in the time of 1933 to 1945 and the ensuing post-war period).The lecture will take place on site only.
