9781258452841: The Tree of Language

Synopsis

The Tree of Language is a fascinating book written by Helene Laird that explores the evolution and development of language. The book takes readers on a journey through the history of language, from the earliest human communication to the complex linguistic systems of today. Laird examines the relationship between language and culture, and how language has shaped human societies throughout history. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of language, such as phonetics, grammar, syntax, and semantics. Laird uses examples from a variety of languages to illustrate these concepts, including English, French, German, Chinese, and Arabic. One of the key themes of the book is the idea that language is like a tree, with roots, branches, and leaves. The roots represent the earliest forms of language, while the branches and leaves represent the many different languages and dialects that have evolved over time. Laird also discusses the role of language in human cognition, and how our ability to use language has shaped our thinking and perception of the world around us. Overall, The Tree of Language is a thought-provoking and engaging book that will appeal to anyone interested in linguistics, anthropology, or the history of human communication. Laird's writing is clear and accessible, making complex linguistic concepts easy to understand. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of the fascinating and complex world of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Language can be thought of as a great tree which rooted, probably in one certain place long ago, and in the thousands, perhaps mil Hons of years since then has grown and spread its branches and leaves all over the world. To continue the comparison, if the branches rejdie language famihes, and the leaves Jheindividualjlanguages then this bee proba BlyasmOT eth leaves some very largeand growing larger, some ven withering, some sbokeu by more leadniie largest leaves the languages lan a hundred milhon people are l Eng Tish, Russian, and ChineseTJ although Chinese is broken up into so many dialects that perhaps it should not be called one language. Other languages vdth mi Uions of speakers are German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Bengah (one of the languages of India and Pakistan). The smallest leaves include many of the American Indian languages, some of which may have as speakers only the remnant of a tribe, perhaps as few as seventy-five or one hundred.
