Discovery of Language: Linguistic Science in the Nineteenth Century
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the captivating journey of linguistic science, tracing its evolution from the rudimentary observations of the Greeks and Romans to the groundbreaking discoveries of the nineteenth century. It delves into the limitations of early linguistic thought, highlighting the challenges posed by a restricted linguistic horizon and the absence of a systematic approach to language analysis. The narrative then shifts to the transformative impact of Christianity and the Middle Ages, emphasizing the expansion of linguistic awareness brought about by the spread of Christianity and the emergence of new literary traditions. The invention of printing further revolutionized the field, enabling scholars to access and compare a wider range of languages, leading to the identification of previously unrecognized connections and relationships. Central to this book's exploration is the pivotal role of Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, in reshaping linguistic understanding. The discovery of Sanskrit's close affinity to European languages challenged existing assumptions and paved the way for the development of comparative linguistics. The author delves into the remarkable contributions of pioneering linguists who deciphered the secrets of Sanskrit and other ancient languages, unraveling the intricate tapestry of language families and their historical development. By illuminating the historical progression of linguistic thought and showcasing the groundbreaking discoveries that have shaped our understanding of language, this book offers profound insights into the intricate workings of human communication and the interconnectedness of diverse cultures and civilizations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
