The SHESL conference, organized by the Society of History and Epistemology of Language Sciences, will take place at Inalco in Paris, France. This conference aims to examine the intricate relationship between versification and the history of linguistic ideas. The event will delve into how metalinguistic thought and versification have been ... intertwined throughout history, reflecting on various cultural traditions including Indian, Greek, and Arabic. Scholars will explore the role of verse in grammatical discourse, highlighting its significance in transmitting poetic and sacred texts. Notably, many ancient grammatical treatises were composed in verse for pedagogical purposes, demonstrating the mnemonic advantages of using verse for memorizing complex grammatical structures.

The symposium will feature key presentations from esteemed speakers such as Romain Benini and Pierre-Yves Testenoire from Sorbonne Université, alongside contributions from other notable academics including Emilie Aussant, Bernard Colombat, and Marc Dominicy, among others. Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts that address a range of topics related to versification, including its historical contributions to linguistic understanding, its role in language teaching, and the impact of verse on linguistic theory and description. The event promises to foster a rich dialogue on the historical significance of versification across various linguistic traditions and periods, engaging attendees from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Nigeria, Algeria, Iraq, and Pakistan. By examining the intersections of versification and linguistic thought, the conference aims to shed light on the enduring influence of poetic structures on language sciences.
