Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating origins of language, exploring the long-debated question of whether it was a divine gift or a human invention. The author challenges the popular belief that language was directly bestowed upon humans, presenting a compelling argument for its development through a process of natural evolution. Drawing on the principles of correspondence and etymology, the book argues that the elements of language were derived from the sounds of nature, including the sounds produced by animals, the environment, and the human voice itself. The author proposes that early humans, in their quest to communicate, intuitively imitated these sounds, gradually refining them into meaningful words. The book then explores the intricate relationship between language and human thought, examining how the correspondence between physical objects and abstract concepts shapes our understanding of the world. It further delves into the rich tapestry of figurative language, highlighting how metaphors and symbolism are woven into the very fabric of human expression. Through a blend of historical analysis, philosophical insight, and insightful observations on the power of language, the author provides a unique perspective on the evolution of human communication, revealing the deep connection between words, thoughts, and the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781527664777_0
