Synopsis
Max Müller’s Science of Language: A Critical Review A sharp, scholarly critique that examines the core arguments and limitations of the study of language in Max Müller and the Science of Language. This edition is presented as a thorough, though often pointed, appraisal of the work’s methods and conclusions.
The reviewer surveys how the book treats topics from the nature of the “body of language” to the origins of signs, dialects, and genealogical classification. It weighs the ideas on how speech and thought relate, how languages change, and what counts as evidence in language history, all while noting where the analysis remains contested or unclear.
- Key ideas about how sounds, signs, and meanings relate in language are explained and debated
- Arguments for the origins of speech and writing alongside the role of imitation and sign use
- Discussion of dialects, languages, and the challenges of classifying linguistic relationships
- Assessment of translation practice, scholarly method, and the work’s influence on language study
Ideal for readers interested in the history of language study, linguistic theory, and scholarly critique of major works.
