This book compares the historical development of ideas about
language in two major traditions of linguistic scholarship from
either end of Eurasia - the Graeco-Roman and the Sinitic - as well
as their interaction in the modern era. It locates the emergence of
language analysis in the development of writing systems, and
examines the cultural and political functions fulfilled by
traditional language scholarship. Moving into the modern period and
focusing specifically on the study of "grammar" in the sense of
morph syntax/ lexico grammar, it traces the transformation of
"traditional" Latin grammar from the viewpoint of its adaptation to
Chinese, and discusses the development of key concepts used to
characterize and analyze grammatical patterns.
