Abstract:

The establishment of language as a focus of study took place over many
centuries, and reflection on its nature emerged in relation to very
different social and cultural practices. Written by a team of leading
scholars, this volume provides an authoritative, chronological account
of the history of the study of language from ancient times to the end
of the 20th century (i.e., 'recent history', when modern linguistics
greatly expanded). Comprised of 29 chapters, it is split into 3 parts,
each with an introduction covering the larger context of interest in
language, especially the different philosophical, religious, and/or
political concerns and socio-cultural practices of the times. At the
end of the volume, there is a combined list of all references cited
and a comprehensive index of topics, languages, major figures, etc.
Comprehensive in its scope, it is an essential reference for
researchers, teachers and students alike in linguistics and related
disciplines.
