Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new method of language analysis grounded in the Bantu languages of Central and Southern Africa. In particular, the author focuses on Herero, a language rich in primitive structures, which provides clues to the earliest forms of spoken language. The author, who is a linguist and missionary, argues that the Bantu languages have been preserved in a more primitive state than the better-known Indo-European languages which dominate most of Western education and literature today. The book offers new and evocative insights into the relationship between words and things and thereby, between humans and nature. It sheds light on the very origins of speech, and the principles of universal grammar.
