Description
How was the idea justified in the nineteenth century that some languages were "better" than others - and with them, the peoples who spoke them? By considering Heymann Steinthal's work on four West African languages, this volume presents in detail how this now absurd view was based on principles of linguistic theory and how theoretical bias can manifest in linguistic comparison.
