Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of language, exploring its origins and development. The author draws a parallel between the study of language and the study of geology, proposing that just as the Earth's crust reveals layers of history, so too does language. By examining the various strata of language, the author seeks to understand how words evolve from simple building blocks to complex systems of expression. This approach challenges traditional notions about language, moving beyond the purely philosophical analyses of the ancient Greeks. The author argues that the key to understanding language lies in recognizing the stages of development that all languages undergo, from isolating languages, where each word is independent, to agglutinative languages, where words are joined together to form new meanings, and finally to inflectional languages, where words are modified through a complex system of endings and prefixes. The authorââ â¢s analysis of languageââ â¢s evolutionary process, through comparisons to Chinese, Sanskrit, Greek, Hebrew and other languages, provides a rich and insightful exploration of how languages change and develop over time. This book offers a groundbreaking perspective on the nature of language and its profound influence on human thought and expression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
