The German sinologist and general linguist Georg von der Gabelentz
(1840-1893) occupies a crucial place in linguistic scholarship
around the end of the nineteenth century. As professor at the
University of Leipzig and then at the University of Berlin,
Gabelentz was present at the main centers of linguistics of the
time. He was, however, generally critical of the narrow, technical
focus of mainstream historical-comparative linguistics as practiced
by the Neogrammarians and instead emphasized approaches to language
inspired by a line of researchers stemming from Wilhelm von
Humboldt. Gabelentz' alternative conception of linguistics led him
to several pioneering insights into language that anticipated
elements of the structuralist revolution of the early twentieth
century. Gabelentz and the Science of Language brings together four
essays that explore Gabelentz' contributions to linguistics from a
historical perspective. In addition, it makes one of his key
theoretical texts, 'Content and Form of Speech', available to an
English-speaking audience for the first time.
