About this title

Synopsis

Discover how 17th‑century thinkers treated language, signs, and education for the deaf.

This edition gathers George Dalgarno’s key ideas on linguistics, writing systems, and the psychology of learning. It presents his early work on a universal character and a practical guide for teaching deaf and hard‑of‑hearing students, alongside editor notes that place his ideas in a historical conversation with figures like Wilkins and Leibniz.

See descriptions of Ars Signorum and Didascalocophus, including a Deaf and Dumb Man’s Tutor.
Understand Dalgarno’s view that the eye can be as docile as the ear and how writing can mirror speech.
Explore early discussions of grammar, dictionaries for deaf pupils, and methodical teaching approaches.
Learn how the editor frames these works within a broader history of philosophy and language.

Ideal for readers of the history of linguistics, philosophy of language, and educational theory.
