About this book

In the nineteenth century philology -- especially comparative philology -- made impressive gains as a discipline thus laying the foundation for the modern field of linguistics. In Darwinism and the Linguistic Image Stephen G. Alter examines how comparative philology provided a genealogical model of language that Darwin as well as other scientists and language scholars used to construct rhetorical parallels with the common-descent theory of evolution.
