Riassunto:

Linguistic Change: An Introduction to the Historical Study of Language is a book written by E. H. Sturtevant and first published in 1917. The book is a comprehensive introduction to the study of historical linguistics, which is the study of how languages change over time. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the principles of linguistic change and the historical development of language. The second part focuses on the methods and techniques used in the study of historical linguistics, including the analysis of sound changes, the reconstruction of proto-languages, and the study of language families. The third part of the book explores the historical development of specific languages, including English, Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit. The author provides detailed examples of linguistic changes in each language, and discusses the factors that have influenced these changes over time. Linguistic Change: An Introduction to the Historical Study of Language is a valuable resource for students and scholars of linguistics, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of language. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and provides a thorough introduction to the study of historical linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
