Description

In the 19th century, philology - especially comparative philology - made impressive gains as a discipline, thus laying the foundation for the modern field of linguistics. In this book, Stephen G. Alter examines how comparative philology provided a genealogical model of language that Darwin, as well as other scientists and language scholars, used to construct rhetorical parallels with the common-descent theory of evolution.
