By the end of the 19th century Germany had emerged as the undisputed center of European linguistics. The history of German linguistics is often seen as a a progression from the speculative and normative concerns of the 18th century to the "scientific" efforts of the 19th century. "German Linguistics" reflects this sense of progress, but also paints a more complex picture. The introductions to each volume give the reader historical insight into changes in the thematic focus and into the evolving division of labor between linguistics and disciplines such as theology, biology and psychology. |
