Excerpt from Discovery of Language: Linguistic Science in the Nineteenth Century

For the most part this work is a translation of Professor Pedersen's Sprogvidenskaben i det Nittende Aarhundrede: Metoder og Resultater, Copenhagen, Gyldendalske Boghandel, 1924, which appeared as Volume XV of Det Nittende Aarhundrede, an imposing series edited by Aage Friis and designed to present the cultural history of the nineteenth century in all its aspects. The relatively unimportant deviations from the original have been made either by the author or with his advice and consent. Scholarly works which have appeared since 1924, and are of such a nature as to affect the conclusions expressed in the original text, have been mentioned by the author in the translation; other changes include occasional amplification of a statement or the use of different examples. Word-forms thoroughly familiar to the Scandinavian reader might not be illuminating to the reader of an English translation, and therefore more appropriate examples have been selected in place of those on page 272, the first paragraph of page 273, and most of the first paragraph of page 274 of the Danish text.

The way of the translator is hard, as any one knows who has gone that way; especially hard when a work of a scholarly nature is involved, where extreme fidelity in translation is imperative. That way would not have been trod in the present instance if the translator had not thought he saw in the original certain cardinal virtues which would make the book a desirable addition to the English literature of linguistics. The problems, as well as the accomplishments, of the study of linguistics during this most important of centuries are faithfully and clearly recorded. Before each step in advance is described, the need for this step is pointed out, so that we have not merely a dry recital of events, but a story which gives us a series of living pictures of these pioneering intellects actually at work wrestling with problems the solution of which constitutes one chapter of the most stirring history we know, the history of the achievements of the human spirit in winning new knowledge.

In spite of the tremendous advance in knowledge of the past century and a quarter, the results have not been incorporated in our general culture. The average cultivated person of today can be expected to know less than nothing of linguistics.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the captivating journey of linguistic science, tracing its evolution from the rudimentary observations of the Greeks and Romans to the groundbreaking discoveries of the nineteenth century. It delves into the limitations of early linguistic thought, highlighting the challenges posed by a restricted linguistic horizon and the absence of a systematic approach to language analysis. The narrative then shifts to the transformative impact of Christianity and the Middle Ages, emphasizing the expansion of linguistic awareness brought about by the spread of Christianity and the emergence of new literary traditions. The invention of printing further revolutionized the field, enabling scholars to access and compare a wider range of languages, leading to the identification of previously unrecognized connections and relationships. Central to this book's exploration is the pivotal role of Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, in reshaping linguistic understanding. The discovery of Sanskrit's close affinity to European languages challenged existing assumptions and paved the way for the development of comparative linguistics. The author delves into the remarkable contributions of pioneering linguists who deciphered the secrets of Sanskrit and other ancient languages, unraveling the intricate tapestry of language families and their historical development. By illuminating the historical progression of linguistic thought and showcasing the groundbreaking discoveries that have shaped our understanding of language, this book offers profound insights into the intricate workings of human communication and the interconnectedness of diverse cultures and civilizations. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330408186_0
