Rooted in a long tradition of international scholarship, this edition examines how missionary grammars, dictionaries, and translations shaped our understanding of linguistic diversity. It invites researchers to reflect on their contemporary relevance for cultural and linguistic heritage preservation.
Join us from March 31th to the 3th of April 2027 for an international forum for examining how missionary materials shaped linguistic knowledge across cultures and centuries.
