Three Lectures on the Science of Language, Delivered at the Oxford University Extension Meeting (Classic Reprint): With a Supplement, My Predecessors - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Discover the mystery of language and what makes human speech unique. This collection gathers three introductory lectures that ask how language began, how it shapes thought, and why language sets humans apart from other animals. With careful argument and historic examples, it surveys ideas about language origins, from early divine explanations to modern scientific inquiry.
Language is shown not as a fixed gift but as a human achievement built through history and exploration. The text compares languages across families, traces possible roots, and tests bold theories about where Aryan speech began. It invites readers to weigh evidence about language, mind, and culture, while staying grounded in observed data and thoughtful reasoning.
What you’ll experience:
Ideal for curious readers of language, anthropology, and history who want accessible, big‑picture explanations grounded in scholarly inquiry.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book approaches a fundamental question: How did we humans come to possess language? Its author argues that language is an intricate phenomenon with humble beginnings. By examining the evolution of languageâ"particularly Englishâ"the author traces words back to their roots. This analysis reveals that the roots of all human language consist of approximately 400 basic syllables, which are expressions of universal human experiences, such as pushing or bearing. These syllables were born out of the primal need for humans to interact harmoniously through repetitive actions. Itâs language which then allows us to perceive the world as intelligible and to accumulate knowledge across generations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
