Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Language
This little book is intended, as the title implies, for the general reader and for the student who is entering upon linguistic work. Its purpose is the same, accordingly, as that of Whitney's Language and the Study of Language and The Life and Growth of Language, hooks which fifty years ago represented the attainments of linguistic science and, owing to their author's clearness of view and conscientious discrimination between ascertained fact and mere surmise, contain little to which we cannot today subscribe. The great progress of our science in the last half-century is, I believe, nevertheless sufficient excuse for my attempt to give a summary of what is now known about language.
That the general reader needs such information as is here given was recognized by Whitney, who wrote, in the preface of his first-named book: 'It can hardly admit of question that at least so much knowledge of the nature, history, and classifications of language as is here presented ought to be included in every scheme of higher education.' While questions of a linguistic nature are everywhere a frequent subject of discussion, it is surprising how little even educated people are in touch with the scientific study of language.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. In accordance with my twofold aim, I have focused on presenting the accepted doctrine, utilizing well-known examples. While I occasionally reference views that are more speculative, I do so to indicate the current direction of our study. The content presented here is not solely my own but belongs to the broader community of language scholars. For a more comprehensive exploration, including bibliographic references, readers can consult the works mentioned in Chapter Ten, which I consider my primary sources. Notably, my understanding of psychology, both general and linguistic, is heavily influenced by Wundt, and I strive to accurately represent his doctrine. The era when students of mental sciences could rely on personal intuition or "popular psychology" for their insights has passed. This work is a reproduction of a significant historical text, published by Forgotten Books, which aims to digitally reconstruct and preserve the original format while addressing imperfections in the aged copy. Although some flaws may remain, they are intentionally retained to maintain the integrity of historical works. N° de réf. du vendeur cb5e7f38-34ee-4767-a3f7-467274ebfae5
