Constance district

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Konstanzer Kreis is a group of Slavic linguists who have been meeting annually since 1974.

The Konstanzer Kreis was founded in 1974 by a group of Slavists ( Gerd Freidhof , Wolfgang Girke , Peter Hill , Helmut Jachnow , Volkmar Lehmann , Christian Sappok and Daniel Weiss ) who wanted to create a forum for younger Slavic linguists who did not yet have permanent positions and could only publish with certain difficulties. In the following years other Slavists of this generation joined them ( Jochen Raecke , Werner Lehfeldt , Renate Rathmayr , Hans Robert Mehlig and Peter Rehder ). In the mid-eighties, further, mainly younger Slavists ( Tilman Berger , Walter Breu , Sebastian Kempgen , Peter Kosta , Tilmann Reuther ) and Rudolf Růžička from the GDR joined them, and from 2004 further younger Slavists ( Tanja Anstatt , Bernhard Brehmer , Ursula Doleschal , Gerd Hentschel , Marion Krause , Holger Kuße , Imke Mendoza ).

The circle managed to establish itself in Slavic studies and to organize annual conferences that continue to this day. They follow a fixed set of rules that include, among other things, that only those who give a lecture may participate in the conference and that all contributions are published in an anthology. The anthologies under the title “Slavistic Linguistics” were published by Verlag Otto Sagner until 2009 , and since 2010 in the journal Wiener Slavistischer Almanach .

Many members of the Konstanzer Kreis also published in the Slavic policy series Specimina philologiae Slavicae (Sphs) founded by Freidhof and published today by Kosta .
