The ancient Greek conception of etymology is fundamentally different from our modern one and has a much broader meaning. To start with, it allows a rather exceptional plasticity (see, e.g., Plato\u2019s\u00a0<i class=\"\">Cratylus<\/i>) as far as semantic\u00a0<i class=\"\">paronomasia\u00a0<\/i>is concerned. As ancient scholars understood it, etymology is chiefly a dynamic process aiming at suggesting semantic correlations between words based on phonetic similarities, with a momentous heuristic power. This intellectual game, a very serious one at that, deserves to be investigated since it is neither scientific in character (as modern linguists would describe it), nor labellable as \u201cfolk\u201d etymology. It is rather a cultural construction, which is both an art of punning and an attempt to uncover deep semantic motivations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span class=\"\">The organizers welcome proposals (in French, English, Greek, German, Spanish or Italian), taking especially into account the following parameters:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"\">\n<li class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-GB\">The technical aspects of ancient Greek etymology.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Etymology and neologisms in scientific contexts.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Etymology in pedagogical practices.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Etymological practices in the\u00a0<i class=\"\">scholia<\/i>\u00a0and commentaries of Late Antiquity and Byzantium.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"\"><span class=\"\">Conference papers will be 30 minutes, with 15 minutes for discussion. \u00a0Interested scholars from all academic levels are invited to send an abstract of no more than 500 words to\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"mailto:arno.zucker@gmail.com\">zucker@unice.fr<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"mailto:assoc.etygram@gmail.com\">assoc.etygram@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0<b class=\"\">March 10, 2021<\/b>.
