<div>Hello all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was wondering if anyone is aware of any works that discuss the history of the use of the distinction between "inflection" and "derivation" in linguistics. Is there a known grammatical tradition that these concepts / distinctions come from? What are the
oldest attestations of these concepts? Are they basically in Panini? If so, was the distinction adopted for other languages without question?
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My impression is that these concepts very much ascended to 'obvious' categories of general linguistics in the Indo-Europeanist / Neo-grammarian tradition...<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>best,</div>
<div><br>
