Abstract:
In this outstanding book leading scholars from around the world examine the
history of linguistics from ancient origins to the present. They consider
every aspect of the field from language origins to neurolinguistics, explore
linguistic traditions in east and west, chronicle centuries of explanations
for language structures, meanings, and usage, and look at how it has been
practically applied.
The book is organized in six parts. The first looks at the origins of
language, the invention of writing, the nature of gesture, and sign languages.
Part II examines the history of the analysis and description of sound systems.
Part III considers the history of linguistics in China, Korea, Japan, India,
and the Middle East, as well as the history of the study of Semitic and
Afro-Asiatic. Part IV examines the history of grammar and morphology in the
west from the classical world to the present. Part V surveys the history of
lexicography semantics, pragmatics, and text and discourse studies. Part VI
looks at the history the application of linguistics in fields that include the
language classification; social and cultural theory; psychology and the brain
sciences; education and translation; computational science; and the
development of linguistic corpora. The book ends with a history of the
philosophy of linguistics.
The Oxford Handbook of the History of Linguistics makes a significant
contribution to the historiography of linguistics. It will also be a valuable
reference for scholars and students in linguists and related fields, including
philosophy and cognitive science.
