Synopsis

""Language And The Study Of Language: Twelve Lectures On The Principles Of Linguistic Science"" is a comprehensive book written by William Dwight Whitney, a renowned American linguist. This book is a collection of twelve lectures that delve into the fundamental principles of linguistic science. The lectures cover a wide range of topics, including the evolution of language, the structure of language, the relationship between language and thought, and the methods of linguistic analysis.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the nature of language, its history, and its place in human culture. Whitney discusses the evolution of language, the different types of languages, and the ways in which languages change over time. He also explores the relationship between language and thought, arguing that language is not just a tool for communication but also a means of shaping our perceptions of the world.The second part of the book is more technical in nature and deals with the principles of linguistic analysis. Whitney explains the basic concepts of phonetics, morphology, syntax, and semantics, and provides examples of how these concepts can be applied to the study of language. He also discusses the different approaches to linguistic analysis, including historical, comparative, and structural linguistics.Overall, ""Language And The Study Of Language: Twelve Lectures On The Principles Of Linguistic Science"" is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the study of language. It is an essential read for anyone interested in linguistics, language learning, or the nature of human communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
