Synopsis
"Lectures On The Science Of Language" by Max Müller presents a two-part program for a comparative, empirical science of language. The body section (phonetics and etymology) treats sounds, letters, and phonetic laws as the skeleton of language, with Grimm’s Law as a central illustration across Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Gothic, Old High German, and English. The soul section surveys how meanings, myths, and cognitive processes animate language, including dawn-sky motifs, twin deities, and the development of gods from linguistic roots such as the dyu/div family (Dyaus/Zeus/Jupiter). The text argues for demonstrable regularities over superficial resemblances, introduces root theory (the MAR root) to show semantic fields from which words proliferate, and discusses ethical tests for etymology. It also locates a dialogue between philology, archaeology-inspired hypotheses about vegetation and migrations, and the philosophy of language, illustrating how myth and language shape belief. It draws on cross-cultural data, from Rig-Veda to Greek myth, to explain how language-origin studies reveal the mind’s relation to religion and culture.
