Excerpt from Language and the Study of Language: Twelve Lectures on the Principles of Linguistic Science
The main argument of the following work was first drawn out in tlie form of six lectures On the Principles of Linguistic Science delivered at tlie Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, during the month of March, 1864. Of these, a brief abstract was printed in the Annual Report of the Institution published in the same year. In the following winter (December, 1864, and January, 1865) they were again delivered as one of the regular courses before the Lowell Institute, in Boston, having been expanded into a series of twelve lectures. They are now laid before a wider public, essentially in their form as there presented. But they have been in the mean time carefully rewritten, and have suffered a not inconsiderable further expansion, as the removal of the enforced Procrustean limit, of sixty minutes to a lecture, has given opportunity to discuss with greater fulness important points in the general argument which had before come off with insufficient treatment.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores linguistics as both a science and an art. The author traces the history of the study of language, from its origins in the work of scholars like Jacob Grimm and August Schleicher to its current state as a rigorous discipline with its own methods and theories. The book also delves into the nature of language itself, examining its fundamental principles, its diverse manifestations, and its role in human history and development. The author argues that language is not merely a tool for communication, but a complex and dynamic system that reflects the culture and history of its speakers. He discusses the evolution of language, the relationship between language and thought, and the ways in which language can be used to express creativity, beauty, and power. Ultimately, this book is a celebration of the power and beauty of human language. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, nature, and significance of this essential part of our human experience.
