The 11th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences, ICHoLS XI will take place at the University of Potsdam from 28 August to 2 September 2008.

This series of international conferences, inaugurated in Ottawa in 1978, has subsequently taken place alternately in Europe (Lille, Trier, Galway, Oxford, Paris) and in the Americas (Ottawa, Princeton, Washington, São Paolo-Campinas, Urbana-Champaign). It is the most important platform for researchers working on the history of the language sciences, a field which is still expanding as can be attested by the foundation of scientific societies and the establishment of several specialized journals on the history of the language sciences.
