Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thought-provoking perspective on comparative syntax, a field that examines grammatical structures across languages. The author challenges conventional wisdom and suggests alternative meanings for various grammatical elements, such as cases, moods, and tenses. By considering the potential original and early meanings of these elements, the author traces their development and sheds light on their current usage. The book also explores principles of development in syntax, such as analogy and implication, and their impact on the evolution of language. Through these ideas, the author offers a deeper understanding of the historical and contextual factors that have shaped the syntax of languages and invites readers to reconsider established beliefs about language structure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
