Présentation de l'éditeur
The study of languages offers to a discriminating observer not only a collection of words and idioms, but the knowledge of customs, tastes, and national peculiarities. It is true that there are general principles which may be applied in common to all languages, the system of ideas having everywhere the same foundation, but these are, in their application, subjected to conditions peculiar to each people. The formation of words the construction of phrases, and the modulation of sounds, are but the results of the national character pervading the minutest details of a language. The Italian language, like all others, has national characteristics. The strength of its metaphors, the conciseness of its phrases, its flexible adaptability to thought, its sonorous terminations, expressive articulation, and musical prosody, are the living monuments of a people eminently artistic, and endowed with a high organic sensibility.
