Description

Explore the historical evolution of linguistic thought with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how conceptions of universal language properties have shaped our understanding of language learning from the ancient Mediterranean world through to the present day. By following two distinct narratives, the text explains how Western scholars identified shared properties among diverse human languages. Simultaneously, it traces the history of how Westerners have interpreted the process of learning a second or foreign language. This historical perspective provides a foundation for understanding current academic discussions. The author presents a compelling argument that modern second language acquisition theory requires a reassessment of its own foundations. This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers, and academics interested in the history of linguistics and the development of language learning theories.
