Principien der Sprachgeschichte (1880) is Hermann Paul's best-known
work. In this book, the German literary scholar and linguist argues
that although language is a product of human culture and the study
of language is therefore best categorised as history, language can
most effectively be analysed with methods taken from the natural
sciences. Paul develops a system of principles that draws heavily
on cognitive and psychological elements in order to account for how
language has developed. In 14 chapters he sets out a detailed
account of the history of language that includes general
observations on the development of language, the consequences of
sound change, semantic shift and the divergence of etymologically
connected words, and aspects of syntax. He also compares written
and spoken language varieties, and the origins of dialects and
standard languages.
