This book presents in a single volume a comprehensive history of
the language sciences, from ancient times through to the twentieth
century. While there has been a concentration on those traditions
that have the greatest international relevance, a particular effort
has been made to go beyond traditional Eurocentric accounts, and to
cover a broad geographical spread. For the twentieth century a
section has been devoted to the various trends, schools, and
theoretical framework developed in Europe, North America and
Australasia over the past seventy years. There has also been a
concentration on those approaches in linguistic theory which can be
expected to have some direct relevance to work being done at the
beginning of the twenty-first century or those of which a knowledge
is needed for the full understanding of the history of linguistic
sciences through the last half of this century. The last section of
this book reviews the applications of some of these findings. Based
on the foundation provided by the award winning "Encyclopedia of
Language and Linguistics" this volume provides an excellent focal
point of reference for anyone interested in the history of the
language sciences.
