Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book invites readers on a century-spanning journey into the history and evolution of linguistic science. Commencing with the revelations of Sanskrit grammar and proceeding to the development of comparative philology, the work traces the arc of linguistic exploration and experimentation. It explores the influence of scholars like Schlegel, Bopp, and Grimm in enabling language to break free from its historical impasse. The book unpacks the introduction of phonetic and phonological techniques, and the impact of 'Hindoo' grammatical analysis on the study of etymology. It follows the emergence of positivism and the "scientific" treatment of language, before concluding with the current trend towards recognizing language as a social science. The insights in this book enhance our understanding of how languages evolve as dynamic systems, driven by the social forces that shape them.
