Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1880, gives us a glimpse into how linguists in the latter half of the 19th century viewed the history of grammatical studies and the recent exciting developments in comparative linguistics. The author was motivated to compile this reference grammar after receiving requests for information on languages and grammar from scholars around the world, many of whom were enthralled by the recent successes of Franz Bopp and the Neogrammarians. The author provides an overview of the subject and the development of ideas up to 1880, from Bopp through to his own contemporaries. One central theme of the book is the evolution of a scientific approach to historical linguistics and philology and the author was keen to contextualize and position the recent 'revolution' within a broader history of linguistic thought. This book is rich in insights into the development of comparative linguistics and ideas that are now taken for granted, such as the regularity of sound changes.
