Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Development of Language, an Elementary Study of Language History, and of the Growth of Our Speech, for Use in Schools Of the various types of material to which attention may be directed in connection with education, nothing is more readily and more constantly available than language. While its existence, like that of the mechanical devices which play so large a part in modern life, is due to an effort to meet human needs, its character and the laws of its formation and change offer the same challenge to intellectual activity as do the products of the forces of chemistry and physics. The electric motor and the various practical applications of chemistry are merely "tools" in modern life. In our educational procedure, however, they are studied not merely that pupils may know how to use them in industry, but in order to satisfy the instinctive desire for knowledge on the part of boys and girls, and to provide a broader basis for intellectual activity and satisfaction. But little attention has been given heretofore in the courses of the elementary school and the high school to the laws which govern the development of language in general, and to the processes by which it has taken on its present forms. The elements which make up our own language and the historical facts regarding the relations of the important languages of the modern civilized world are often vaguely known or entirely unknown even to the college graduate at the end of his formal education. And yet this knowledge affords a ready appeal to the interest of the student, and its comprehension involves no special difficulty beyond that of the usual subject matter of the school course. This book represents an endeavor to make available for high school pupils some of the fundamental facts of language development.
