Abstract

This short commentary proposes that there is a need for convincing our colleagues in linguistics departments to include history of linguistics classes in our programmes. Once they are there, it is suggested that we also consider tailoring these classes to modern populations of students.

Note: A video of the session in which this was presented and the associated slide deck are available in the foreword to this issue
