Linguistic Change: An Introduction To The Historical Study Of Language (1917) is a book written by E. H. Sturtevant that provides an overview of the study of language change throughout history. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of linguistic change and the different factors that can contribute to it, such as social, cultural, and geographical influences.Sturtevant then delves into the historical development of different languages, including the Indo-European family of languages, and discusses the ways in which linguistic change has affected these languages over time. He also explores the role of language contact and borrowing in language change, as well as the impact of written language on spoken language.Throughout the book, Sturtevant provides numerous examples of linguistic change from various languages and time periods, including Old English, Latin, and Greek. He also discusses the methods used by linguists to study language change, such as comparative linguistics and the analysis of written texts.Overall, Linguistic Change: An Introduction To The Historical Study Of Language is a comprehensive guide to the study of language change and is a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of language over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

This little book, which has grown out of lectures to students beginning their scientific study of language, is primarily intended as a textbook for similar introductory courses. It is hoped, however, that it will appeal to a wider public, and consequently technical terms and symbols that are not familiar to all educated people have been eliminated as far as possible. Some readers will be offended at the lack of any exact system of phonetic notation; but such a notation would have required a long explanation, which some readers would have skipped, and which would have caused others to lay the book aside. No real ambiguity seems to result from our attempt to use ordinary symbols and terms in their familiar values. Since the book is the result of reading and thought extending over more than fifteen years, the author cannot now recall the source of each idea expressed. He is under obligation at some point or many to most of the standard works on linguistics. In addition to books mentioned in the text and to the handbooks which stand at the elbow of every linguist, we may specify Paul Passy sP etite phonetique compares and Leonard Bloomfield sA nI ntroduction to theS tudy of Language. Much of the book, perhaps more than the author is aware, is traceable to the classroom lectures of Professors William Gardner Hale, Frank Frost A bbott, and Carl Darling Buck. Dr. W. M.
