Wilhelm von Humboldt's classic study of human language was first
published in 1836, as a general introduction to his three-volume
treatise on the Kawi language of Java. It is the final statement of
his lifelong study of the nature of language, exploring its
universal structures and its relation to mind and culture.
Empirically wide-ranging - Humboldt goes far beyond the
Indo-European family of languages - it remains one of the most
interesting and important attempts to draw philosophical
conclusions from comparative linguistics. This 1999 volume presents
a translation by Peter Heath, together with an introduction by
Michael Losonsky that places Humboldt's work in its historical
context and discusses its relevance to contemporary work in
philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, and psychology.
