DESCRIPTION:The workshop is organized by the Collaborative Research Centre
  1475 (CRC 1475)\, and the international Multilingualism Research Group (V
 ienna / Oslo / Rome)\, represented by its speaker Velizar Sadovski and a n
 umber of its founding members and partners from Norway\, Great Britain\, I
 taly\, and Switzerland.\n\nThe Center for Religious Studies (CERES) where 
 parts of the CRC are located\, and the Multilingualism Research Group (MRG
 ) share a series of research interests. The key topics “Multilingualism
 ” and “Listenwissenschaften”\, represented in several MRG conference
 s between 2008 and 2024\, bring additional inputs to the research themes: 
 cognitive aspects of the relation between language and social experience\;
  lexical and terminological differentiation and the history of knowledge\;
  religious experience and social pragmatics in the context of ancient soci
 eties\; relevance of linguistic forms of expression for the questions of s
 ocial message\, institutional communication and “invention of traditions
 ” within a specific socio-political system\, e.g. in the dialectic condi
 tions of a multilingual state\; social dimensions of literary genres\; way
 s of addressing the use and misuse of languages for establishing group ide
 ntities\, focussing on antagonistic social groups on various levels of a s
 ociety\, etc.\n\nWithin this research framework\, the workshop\, “Taxono
 my\, Differentiation Processes and Metaphor in the History of Knowledge\, 
 including Religion” is designed to foster dialogue among scholars of rel
 igion and philologists. The workshop invites exploration of various captiv
 ating topics\, including differentiation processes\, metaphors\, and taxon
 omies.\n\nThe keyword “differentiation” refers to the fact that\, with
  increasing complexity\, societies begin to differentiate themselves inter
 nally according to spheres such as politics\, law\, economics\, medicine\,
  art\, and religion\, each of which fulfills a specific societal function.
  This process ends in the modern\, functionally differentiated society\, b
 ut already began in the early societies of antiquity. The differentiation 
 process finds its linguistic expression in corresponding text documents\, 
 so that the respective societal structure can be inferred from them. In th
 is way\, philology\, historical linguistics\, and sociology can cooperate.
 \n\nThe detailed program will follow soon.
