In 1920 1924 Jacob Wackernagel (1853 1938), Professor of
Comparative Philology at the University of Basel, published two
volumes of lectures on Greek, Latin and German syntax based on his
1918 1919 courses for beginning undergraduates (who would already
have studied all three languages at school). Wackernagel introduces
the principles of grammatical functions and cross-linguistic work,
and provides a foundation for the understanding of comparative
syntax. The book remained in print for many decades thanks to its
lively style and well-chosen examples from classical texts. The
Sanskritist Louis Renou (1896 1966), writing on Wackernagel in
1938, asserted that 'no linguist could possibly afford to ignore
this book', and it remains of interest to historical linguists and
scholars of classical languages today. In this, the second volume,
Wackernagel discusses gender, nouns and adjectives, pronouns, the
article, prepositions and negation.

Wackernagel outlines the history of syntactic theory from ancient
times to the present, and provides a detailed treatment of the
verb.
