Synopsis

Linguistic Change: An Introduction To The Historical Study Of Language (1917) is a book written by E. H. Sturtevant that provides an overview of the study of language change throughout history. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of linguistic change and the different factors that can contribute to it, such as social, cultural, and geographical influences.Sturtevant then delves into the historical development of different languages, including the Indo-European family of languages, and discusses the ways in which linguistic change has affected these languages over time. He also explores the role of language contact and borrowing in language change, as well as the impact of written language on spoken language.Throughout the book, Sturtevant provides numerous examples of linguistic change from various languages and time periods, including Old English, Latin, and Greek. He also discusses the methods used by linguists to study language change, such as comparative linguistics and the analysis of written texts.Overall, Linguistic Change: An Introduction To The Historical Study Of Language is a comprehensive guide to the study of language change and is a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of language over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
