Book excerpt: "The Western Classical Tradition in Linguistics examines ancient, medieval, post-renaissance and modern conceptions of linguistics (i.e. the study of language and languages).

It is a story of successive stages of language study, each building upon, or reacting against, the preceding period."--BOOK JACKET.
