Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Origin of Language A preliminary objection to the supposition of any natural origin of language has been raised by the modern German school of philos phers, whose theory leads them to deny the possi ility of man having ever existed in a state of mutism. Man is only man by Speech, says W. V. Humboldt, but in order to discover speech he must already be man. And Max Muller, who cites the epigram, adopts the opinion it expresses. Philosophers, he says (lectures on the Science of Language, p. Who imagine that the first man though left to himself would gradually have emerged from a state of mutism and have invented words for every new conception that arose in his mind, forget that man could not by his own power have acquired the faculty of speech, which is the dis tinctive character of mankind, unattained and uh attainable by the mute creation The supposed difficulty is altogether a fallacy arising from a confusion between the faculty of speech and the actual knowledge of language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Philosophy of Language It cannot be denied that as an hypothesis of the origin of language there is a good deal Of truth con tained in Herder's statement Of things. The most important points to be noted are, that it (1) explains how a visual image or percept is transformed into the phonetic word; and that (2) it makes the creation of language first appear as attached primarily to single characteristic marks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Language When asked by Mr. Dent to write an introduction to the principles of Comparative Philology for his series, I willingly consented, not only because I had the necessary materials ready to hand, but also because I felt there was still room for an addition to the already large literature of the subject; a subject which, however, admits of being approached from so many different points of view that any competent treatment of it is sure to have some special merits of its own. The first part of this book deals with the definition of the science of language, its scope (p. 20) and methods, and the life of language generally. In this part I have aimed at clearness of statement and adequate illustration, and have tried to avoid truisms and superfluous generalizations on the one hand, and over-abstraction and linguistic mysticism on the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin of Language and Myths, Vol. 1 Some fourteen years ago I published a work entitled Myths traced to their Primary Source through Language; and though I was then, as it were, only feeling my way, I was not the less convinced that the discovery to which I laid claim was real; and, however strange it may now appear, I cannot help still entertaining the same Opinion. In that work I showed, as well as I could, how man must have first acquired the use of speech; and by the knowledge thence derived I was enabled to account for the ancient belief in the Divine origin of language, to trace letters to their birth, to discover the primary forms and meanings - hitherto unknown - of many words; and finally, to prove that the fables of the heathen mythology, as well as those of religion and ancient history, were first suggested by the several meanings that a name had at different times obtained. And I may here, perhaps, without stating too much in advance, give the reader some idea of this latter proof of the truth of my discovery. At the time the sun became a great object of worship over all the world, if one of the countless appellations by which it was then known hap pened also to designate some celebrated character of the past, the latter was at once revered as a divinity, even as the sun itself. And if his name, besides signifying the sun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Origin and Progress of Language Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by George Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Progress of Language, Vol. 1 There is no separate work on this subject, in our language, constructed so as to aim sys tematically at the elucidation of this great and interesting truth. The learned are familiar with many treatises on language, some of which are unfavourable to the views here maintained; while the conclusions of others, so far as they are carried out, point only incidentally to the same result as this essay. An attempt has here been made to treat the subject on Christian principles, to compress all that is essential to its right un derstanding into a narrow space; and so to simplify the facts and reasonings as to render them intelligible to the young, and to those classes of society who have no learned leisure to employ in extensive reading on such a theme. If the book shall be found to render instruction and pleasure to inquiring minds, and tend in any case to produce or strengthen belief in the Obligations of the world to the sacred Scriptures, the author will be thankful, and endeavour to present the glory resulting from such events at the feet of Him to whom all praise belongs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Natural History of Language The present book is what its title implies it is an out line. So far as it is a student's book, it is meant for nothing more than a first general survey of the field. It does not hope to enlighten materially the professional philologist, but only to bring him disciples. Nevertheless, it is no mere compilation. The facts are necessarily in a considerable measure the same facts which have done duty in other works, whether general or special, but the writer trusts that he has employed sufficient independence of thought in weighing various theories against the material, and in offer ing, with all due diffidence, conclusions or speculations of his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of the History of Language AN attempt has been made to assist in making Professor Paul's great work better known to the English public, by translating it into English. In the original'by far the greater number of illustrative instances are drawn from the German language. In cases where English examples served precisely the same purpose as those drawn from German they have been frequently substituted. Additional examples, mainly drawn from English, have been inserted in brackets. It is hoped that it may be possible on a future occasion to add an Appendix fully illustrating the principles laid down by Paul from the English and other languages. Several references have been made to works which have been published since the appearance of Paul's work, such as the most recent productions of Darmesteter.
