The diffusion of Caucasian and Aryan in the United States
The history of linguistics offers a fascinating field of study in its own right, as well as providing an important layer of reflexivity to current debates in linguistic theory. This paper argues for the complementary interest of the study of the circulation, diffusion and impact of linguistic and related scholarly concepts beyond the realm of academia. This approach involves the study of a wider range of texts, including popular scholarship, writ…
Ghosts of the past
This paper considers the at-first-sight puzzling presence of Nazi linguistics as sources in two post-war sociolinguistic works, authored by Joshua Fishman and Uriel Weinreich respectively. It offers an account of who these Nazi linguists were and the basic ideological positions they represented. The argument is made that the presence of these sources reflects a wider problem in post-war sociolinguistics, namely a lack of awareness of the nature o…
Linguistique et anthropologie raciale en Allemagne nazie
La question centrale que l'on se posera dans cet article est la façon dont les relations perçues entre la diversité physique et la diversité linguistique de l'espèce humaine ont été comprises dans le contexte du national-socialisme. On soutiendra que, même en Allemagne nazie, où l'idéologie raciale a joué un rôle si fondamental, il y avait un rôle potentiellement significatif pour une conception de l'identité humaine reposant sur le langage ou la…
Metalinguistic normativity and the supercategory
Linguistics and the state
In this contribution, Christopher Hutton discusses how states have historically taken an interest in, and funded, linguistics research. For a range of political purposes - including colonial rule and military strategy - knowing about and learning the language of "others" has been part of the projection and use of power. The specific purposes and forms of state support for research on language, argues Hutton, does vary depending on whether states …
The Tyranny of Ordinary Meaning
Lost in the hall of mirrors
The category Aryan and the paradigm of ideas associated with it remains highly controversial in contemporary India, and the history, status, and impact of this concept are contested at many levels. This paper starts with the assumption that the genesis of this concept lies in Western linguistic theorizing, and analyzes in outline the reception and impact of Aryan Invasion Theory and the postulation of an Aryan-Dravidian divide. Radical Hindu nati…
Integrationism and the Self
In recent years a set of challenging questions have arisen in relation to the status of animals; their treatment by human beings; their cognitive abilities; and the nature of their feelings, emotions, and capacity for suffering. This ground-breaking book draws from integrational semiology to investigate arguments around the rights of certain animals to be recognized as legal persons, thereby granting them many of the protections enjoyed by humans…
Racial ideology as elite discourse
Nordicism promoted a particular racial-bodily aesthetic, that of the tall, blond, blue-eyed individual, and promoted the view that the Nordic race was responsible for all the major achievements of humanity. However, modern “scientific” race theory recognized that there were no pure races, and few racially pure individuals. This complicated the presentation of racial ideas in the public sphere. In inter-war Germany and during the Nazi period, raci…
The self and the 'monkey selfie
Rassedenken in der Sprach- und Textreflexion
Die Philologie hat im 19. Jahrhundert wesentlich zum europäischen Rassismus beigetragen, gegen diesen aber auch zentrale anthropologische Wissensbestände behauptet. Der Band zeigt diesen Prozess anhand von Grundlagentexten und erläuternden Kommentaren. Früher als biologische Rassenlehren lieferte philologisches Wissen grundlegende »Erkenntnisse« über Ursprünge, Wesen und Potenziale menschlicher Kollektive. Die Entdeckungen der Sprach- und Textref…
The tangle of colonial modernity
Hong Kong, or more formally, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), is a common law jurisdiction within the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Hong Kong was officially a British colony from 1843 to 1997, although colonial rule began in practice in 1841. Post-1997 Hong Kong is unusual in that it is a common law jurisdiction within a civil law state, the legal system of which was set up initially on the Soviet model. The People’s Republi…

Bad and banned language
The language of Chinese secret societies ("triads") in Hong Kong can be studied by relating triad language to anti-languages, to taboo language, and to the status of the vernacular in sociolinguistic theory. Also examined here are the laws in Hong Kong concerning triad language, and the attitudes of government agencies charged with policing the media. One striking feature of the Hong Kong situation is that the use of triad jargon can in some circ…

Race And Language
This essay examines the views of two nineteenth-century intellectuals, the lawyer Sir Henry Sumner Maine (1822-88), and the historian Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-92). Both were writing at the height of Empire, in the age of the 'comparative spirit' and of the new sciences of comparative philology and comparative ethnology. Neither was a professional linguist nor a race theorist, but both responded to the rise of these new sciences by noting the…
