Book Description
This classic study of human language was first published in 1836, as a general introduction to Humboldt's treatise on the Kawi language of Java. It is the final statement of his lifelong study of language, exploring its universal structures a nd its relation to mind and culture, and remains one of the most interesting and important attempts to draw philosophical conclusions from comparative linguistics. This volume presents a translation by Peter Heath together with an introduction by Michael Losonsky that places Humboldt's work in its historical and philosophical context.
