On The Principles Of Etymology

By F. Max Muller

Book Overview

""On The Principles Of Etymology"" is a book written by F. Max Muller that explores the principles of etymology, the study of the origins and development of words. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the basic principles of etymology, including the relationship between language and thought, the evolution of language, and the importance of language in human culture. The second part of the book focuses on the application of these principles to the study of specific languages, including Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, and English. Muller's approach to etymology is based on a deep understanding of the historical and cultural contexts in which languages develop, and he uses this understanding to shed light on the meanings and origins of words. Overall, ""On The Principles Of Etymology"" is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human communication.THIS 66 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Lectures on the Science of Language, by F.
