Irene Rathbone has Joan Seddon in We That Were Young describe the Germans as ‘swarm over Europe, like the old Goths’, but this was published in 1932 and is not echoed in the records of table-talk of the time. If so, writers on church architecture must have been hard-pressed. This may have been a comment on the number of servants, staff being hard to come by during the war, but, given the subheading, may equally have been a comment on the use of the word ‘Gothic’.

‘Did I dream? Is there a war on? I overheard a lady ask for a habitable basemented house in the Greek or Gothic style as she had a staff of fifteen servants.’ Then the word more or less disappears from the British press: under a subheading ‘Ye Goths!’ (the press loving a pun), the Daily Mirror 17 July 1917 ran a brief comment: A cartoon in the New York Tribune was reported in the Pall Mall Gazette of 31 August 1914 it showed ‘a German giant trampling Louvain underfoot’, and was captioned ‘Return of the Goth’. We are so accustomed to the epithets ‘Hun’ and ‘Boche’ that were applied to the Germans during the war that we seldom ask, ‘why these and not others?’ Why, for example, was the term ‘Goths’ not used, especially of the large bombers called Gothas which raided Britain in 1917 and 18? There were a few incidences of the use of ‘Goth’, but so few that they stand out as anomalies, even as linguistic misshits.

Papers are invited that discuss the causes, progress and aftermath of the war from a linguistic point of view – dialect, slang, swearing, officialese, the language of mourning, the language of international post-war negotiation, interpreting, multilinguism, propaganda, popular media, correspondence, graffiti, the language of regimental diaries, memoirs and phrasebooks, all will be considered. While 2018 as a centennial suggests a concentration on the end of the war, we do not wish to limit ourselves to the Armistice and the aftermath, as the period 2014-2018 has given the opportunity for so much in-depth exploration of topics that have arisen from the wealth of conferences, books, papers, symposiums and the opening up of archives and collections. We hope that the papers offered in the 2018 conference will widen still further the scope of the subject. The 2014 conference opened up to an international audience the idea of approaching the conflict from a linguistic viewpoint while we imagined this falling into two main areas – developments within languages, and influences between languages – the papers delivered and subsequent essays in the volumes widened the scope considerably, to include the rise of interpreting as a profession, the ideas of reticence and withheld communication in soldiers’ letters, the role of soldiers’ publications in the management of dialect, the racial, ethnic, gender and political dynamics of languages, dialects and rhetorics, and the collecting of linguistic data during and after the war. The 2018 conference will be held at University College London (10 September) and a University in Belgium (either Antwerp or Leuven, 12 September – to be confirmed very soon). Following our successful first international conference on Languages and the First World War (University of Antwerp and the British Library, June 2014), two successful books of essays, and the following that has been built up, the organisers are pleased to announce the second Languages and the First World War conference for 10 and 12 September 2018.
