PresentationThe workshop will explore textile terminologies in a range of languages and cultures : terms for fibres, tools, techniques, occupational designations, garments, wardrobes, accessories, furnishing textiles, and the metaphorical uses of textiles ; the position and development of textile terminologies within the wider field of vocabulary and semantics. We welcome both presentations on defined areas as well as comparative studies, synchronic and diachronic approaches.
