(Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science 18.1)


Writing in English, German or French, more than 300 authors provide a
historical description of the beginnings and of the early and subsequent
development of thinking about language and languages within the relevant
historical context. Institutions which emerged over the ages are
considered, concerned with the study, organisation, documentation, and
distribution as well as with the utilisation of language related
knowledge. Special emphasis has been placed on related disciplines, such
as rhetoric, the philosophy of language, cognitive psychology, logic and
neurological science.
