Explores the principles of linguistic description and historical comparison. It examines phonetics, syntax, semantics, and the structure of speech, then moves to topics like sound change, dialect variation, and language evolution. The book critically contrasts traditional linguistic methods with emerging transformational-generative theories, highlighting their strengths and limitations.
