    This volume contains both original contributions and reviews and papers previously published in Dhumbadji!, the journal published by the Association. The common thread running through the volume is an appreciation of the historical dimension in linguistics, with regard to both language and linguistic historiography. The editors have drawn inspiration from the pioneering work in the historiography of linguistics done by Konrad Koerner.
