Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the emerging science of language in the 19th century. The author offers an overview of the origins of comparative philology, particularly focusing on the work of Franz Bopp and Jacob Grimm. These scholars laid the foundation for understanding the common origins of the Indo-European language family, and Grimm's work on sound shifts in Germanic languages revolutionised our understanding of phonetic change. The author traces the development of the science of language through the work of Max Muller and others, highlighting the shift from a focus on laws and order to a more nuanced understanding of the role of unconscious and independent sound change. The book also explores the impact of linguistic discoveries on our knowledge of primeval Indo-European culture and the lives of our prehistoric ancestors. The examination of word meanings and their evolution over time provides insights into the development of human civilisation.
