Three Lectures on the Science of Language (1895) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

""Three Lectures on the Science of Language"" is a book written by Friedrich Max Muller in 1895. The book is a collection of three lectures that Muller delivered at the Royal Institution in London in 1861. The lectures are an introduction to the study of language and explore various aspects of language, including its nature, origin, and development. In the first lecture, Muller discusses the nature of language and its relationship to thought. He argues that language is not just a tool for communication but also a reflection of the human mind and its capacity for abstract thought. In the second lecture, Muller explores the origin of language and the various theories that have been proposed to explain it. He discusses the role of sound, gesture, and social interaction in the development of language. In the third lecture, Muller examines the development of language over time and the factors that have influenced its evolution. He discusses the role of migration, conquest, and cultural exchange in the spread of languages and the emergence of new ones. Muller also touches on the relationship between language and culture, and the ways in which language can shape our understanding of the world around us. Overall, ""Three Lectures on the Science of Language"" is a fascinating exploration of the nature and evolution of language. Muller's insights and observations are still relevant today and provide valuable insights into the workings of the human mind and the development of human culture.Delivered At The Oxford University Extension Meeting, With A Supplement: My Predecessors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
