| Description: |
Discusses the simple qualities of human speech, and establishes human techniques of expression by comparing the common features that are found in modern and ancient languages. The author treats the diversification of language by isolating root words in different languages, with forms of composition and with sentence structure. |
| Synopsis: |
Morris Swadesh, one of this century's foremost scientifi c investigators of language, dedicated much of his life to the study of the origin and evolution of language. This volume, left nearly completed at his death and edited posthumously by Joel F. Sherzer, is his last major study of this diffi cult subject. |
