The Story of Our Logo
The SILA Linguists logo, featuring a spindle, is rich with historical and cultural significance, reflecting our deep connection to the art and science of language. The spindle, known as "Kompau" or "Tashi/Toshi" in the Taurus-Zagros region, has ancient roots, with these names deriving from Proto-Indo-European (PIE) terms associated with counting, summing up, and the intricate processes of making or analysing thread – and by extension, analysing words and language.
Historically, some researchers have suggested the spindle symbolised "woman's knowledge," while others linked it to "female witches." In the Taurus-Zagros region, a strong candidate for the homeland of PIE, the spindle is particularly seen as a symbol of women's profound knowledge in the creation and structuring of language, and in the development of new lexicons. The term "Computer" itself shares this etymological heritage, stemming from Latin "computare" (to count, sum up, reckon together), a combination of "com" (together) and "putare" (from PIE root "pau" – to reckon, prune, cut).
Our logo choice is inspired by these connections and the ongoing research by historians, linguists, and archaeologists from the Taurus-Zagros region aiming to uncover the full origins of this potent symbol. We look forward to sharing more insights from this research on our blog as it becomes available.
