I just sent off the revised version of my paper on historical linguistics as a historical science. This was one of the most difficult but also rewarding papers that I ever worked on. In the past, I often emphasized (ad nauseam) that we should analyse actual pieces of historiography as a way...

Finally, a draft! I've had a long-lasting interest in historical linguistics, but I have not worked on the topic until recently. Overall, historical linguistics really is an under-researched topic in philosophy of science, which is a real pity. Now, let's see if I can get this piece published.
