Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin and Philosophy of Language
It cannot be denied that as an hypothesis of the origin of language there is a good deal Of truth con tained in Herder's statement Of things. The most important points to be noted are, that it (1) explains how a visual image or percept is transformed into the phonetic word; and that (2) it makes the creation of language first appear as attached primarily to single characteristic marks.
