Historische Sprachforschung / Historical Linguistics is an annualpeer-reviewedacademic journal coveringIndo-Europeanhistorical linguistics. It is the second oldest linguistics journal still in publication.[citation needed] The currenteditors-in-chief are Martin Kümmel (University of Jena), Olav Hackstein, and Sabine Ziegler. The journal is published byVandenhoeck & Ruprecht.
The journal was originally established byAdalbert Kuhn in 1852, and consequently known colloquially asKuhns Zeitschrift (Journal de Kuhn, 'Kuhn's Journal'). Its official name wasZeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete des Deutschen, Griechischen und Lateinischen (lit. 'Magazine for Comparative Linguistics Research on German, Greek, and Latin') from 1852 to 1874. For most of this period, it ran in parallel to its sister publicationBeiträge zur vergleichenden Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete der arischen, celtischen und slawischen Sprachen ('Articles for Comparative Linguistics Research on the Aryan, Celtic, and Slavic Languages', known colloquially atKuhn-Schleichlers Beiträge), which existed from 1858 to 1876.[1]
In 1877, the publications merged with each other and withBeiträge zur Kunde der indogermanischen Sprachen ('Articles for the Science of Indo-European Languages', known colloquially asBezzenbergers Beiträge, 1877–1906) asZeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete der indogermanischen Sprachen ('Magazine for Comparative Linguistics Research on the Indo-European Languages'). This title persisted until 1967.[1]
From 1968 to 1987, the journal was calledZeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachforschung ('Journal of Comparative Linguistics').[1]
It obtained its present title in 1988.[1]
