Beschreibung

Second printing. 360 p. : ill. ; 20 x 13 cm. A Midland Book. The study of language is the study of civilization - to discover man's cultural antecedents and to understand the meaning of his intellectual heritage we must look to the origins of human language buried in the mists of historical antiquity. The present work has long been a celebrated classic in the field of linguistics: it reveals not only the genesis of man's great languages and their interrelation, but tells as well of the development of linguistic science itself, of the discoveries of its pioneers and great masters, particularity during the last century. In addition, a concise summary of the methods employed in linguistics is provided. Translated by John Webster Spargo. Brossura editoriale, coperta illustrata a colori in cartoncino flessibile plastificato lucido. All'interno numerose illustrazioni in b/n. Qualche segno del tempo al dorso della coperta (piegatura e scolorimento) per il resto libro in buono stato.
