What reading level is Language, And the Study of Language. Twelve Lectures On the Principles of Linguistic Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By some it is eFen assumed that tlie correspondences of words and forms exhibited by the so-called Indo-European tongues are not fundamental and pervading, but superficial, consisting in scattered particulars only, in such designations of objects and conceptions as one race might naturally make over into the keeping of another, along with a knowledge of the things designated. This assumption, however, the ex- positions and reasonings of our fifth and seventh lectures will have shown to be wholl...y erroneous : the correspondences in question are fundamental and pervading ; they constitute an identity which can only be explained by supposing those who founded these tongues to have been members together of the same community. Others, who know the European languages too well to maintain respecting their relations any BO shallow and untenable theory, yet try to persuade them- selves that the analogy of the Latin will sufficiently account for their extension over so wide a region ; that, as Etruscans, Celts, Iberians, Germans, learned to speak a tongue of Roman origin, so the populations of Europe and Asia, of di- verse lineage, learned to speak a common Indo-European dialect ; and that, accordingly, the difierences of Greek, Sanskrit, Celtic, and Slavonic are parallel to those of Italian, Erench, and Spanish.
