Description

Explore the life and academic contributions of Georg von der Gabelentz through this scholarly biography. As a prominent German sinologist and general linguist, Gabelentz held influential positions at the University of Leipzig and the University of Berlin during the late nineteenth century. This book examines his unique position in linguistic scholarship during a period of significant change. While many of his contemporaries focused on the technical methods of the Neogrammarians, Gabelentz pursued different paths. He leaned toward approaches inspired by Wilhelm von Humboldt, offering a different perspective on historical-comparative linguistics. This work provides a detailed look at his role within the main centers of linguistics at the end of the 1800s. It is an essential read for students and researchers interested in the history of linguistics and the development of language studies.
