Among the countless themes in language studies on which Pierre Swiggers has worked and published, linguistic historiography undoubtedly stands out. In this subdiscipline of language studies, he has acted as a true architect and maitre d’oeuvre. For this reason, the editors have chosen “the architecture of grammar” as the guiding theme of this volume in his honor. Opening with a preface and general introduction, the book brings together contributions pertaining to this general theme, ranging from antiquity to the present day, and closes with the bibliography of the honoratus. Contributions by: C. Altman, R. Batista, M. Berre, G. Bonnet, M. L. Calero Vaquera, D. Calhoun, B. Colombat, R. Escavy Zamora, G. Fernandes, J. J. Gomez Asencio, G. Hassler, B. Hurch, J. E.
