Though the author rejects the Caland notions, the history of 'Caland' is presented in an (as) objective (as possible) way, so that anyone can profit from the reading and form or review their own ideas on the subject.

quantitative methods can support, challenge and (re)shape linguistic theory.
Within this broad topic, the papers in this thematic issue delve into the
interaction of qualitative and quantitative methods in linguistic analysis.
The subject matter and the approach are particularly timely. The use of
quantitative methods in the humanities has not only grown exponentially in the
last decade, but it has also evolved very rapidly. As highlighted, for instance, in
a recent opinion paper by Kortmann (2021), theoretical considerations are not
absent from linguistic works focusing mainly on quantitative aspects.
Nevertheless, the impact on linguistic theory needs to be reassessed, to
emphasise the apparent–or expected future–impact of quantitative methods on
theoretical issues in linguistics. The main question that this issue addresses is
to what extent old and new theoretical assumptions can be nuanced, rejected
or improved in the light of the interaction between qualitative and quantitative
approaches.

A travers six études de cas, sept experts de langues vivantes (telles l’anglais et le français aujourd’hui, le russe pendant le XXe siècle, mais aussi le latin dans l’Antiquité), de langues anciennes (telles le latin et le grec ancien aujourd’hui) et de langues construites (telles l’elfique et l’esperanto) décrivent différentes méthodes et modèles d’enseignement. Les auteurs présentent leurs expériences qui sont fortement ancrées dans la réalité de la classe et/ou reconstruisent minutieusement les méthodes et instruments à dispositions des enseignants et des apprenants à une certaine époque. De la présentation des dispositifs didactiques de l’Antiquité gréco-romaine (E. Dickey) à l’intégration des arts performatifs et à la relecture d’anciens traités de rhétorique (J.-R. Lapaire), de l’application de méthodes directes à la classe de langues anciennes (F. Dell’Oro & A. Kolde) à la présentation du russe comme une langue « archaïque » à des fins didactiques (D. Zalesskaya), de l’apprentissage des langues complexes qui évoluent dans le temps et dans l’espace de l’univers fictionnel de J.R.R. Tolkien (D. Bador) à l’idéal d’une langue commune de toute l’humanité telle l’esperanto (S. Moret), il en ressort une image de continuité, où chaque expérience peut apporter une contribution à partager dans le domaine de l’apprentissage des langues étrangères. Concernant la question posée initialement, le volume montre qu’à l’épreuve de l’enseignement les différences entre les langues modernes, anciennes ou construites apparaissent moins nettes que ne le suggère le système d’enseignement traditionnel.

L'objectif des formations continues était d'encourager les enseignants du secondaire à introduire l'oralité dans l'enseignement des langues classiques. Nous avons présenté les avantages de l'approche orale aux enseignants et leur avons fourni les outils de base pour commencer à l'utiliser en classe. Les enseignants ont ensuite préparé quelques projets qu'ils ont présentés à leurs classes. Nous leur avons fait part de nos réactions en discutant avec eux des projets et des réactions des élèves.

of the Greek epigraphic epigram after 400 BC, focussing on the
absence/presence of features that are commonly termed ‘epic’. While
CEG 830 reflects the increasing influence of Attic in the fourth century,
the dialectal mixture of GV 755 and the use of the epic-Ionic
dialect in GV 1907 illustrate the later development of the epigrammatic
language. Moreover, these epigrams were selected as their authors seem
to have consciously engaged in a dialogue with the epic model, or to
have deliberately refused to do so.

Though sharing some similarities (e.g., motion as a source domain, negative polarity contexts), they exhibit significant differences. Queo is personally constructed and typically conveys participant-related possibility, while yā- constructions are linked to agent demotion. The passive meaning of yā- in personal constructions and its possible connection to modality are also briefly addressed."

The traditional etymology claims that nequeo and queo developed from an impersonal form (ne)quit(ur) 'it does (not) go' into fully-fledged personal verbs. An in-depth analysis of the Early Latin corpus clearly shows that, when it is possible to verify whether there is a syntactic subject or not, nequeo and queo are always used personally. They convey almost exclusively dynamic modality, mainly participant-related possibility. Importantly, the Latin data fit present-day typological knowledge about the development of participant-related possibility modality from verbs of motion in specific constructions. This study contributes not only to the reconstruction of the early history of Latin (ne)queo, but also to the general discussion about the emergence of modality from motion constructions.

The workshop, co-organized by Elisabetta Magni (University of Bologna) and myself (University of Neuchâlte), aims to explore the boundaries of the category "modality" based on its various definitions, as well as the associated categories. The relevant information is available here: https://linguistlist.org/issues/34-3292/
The deadline to send the abstracts is January 8.
I thank you for spreading this announcement and the call for papers to all potentially interested individuals.
