WHAT DOES GLOTTOLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

glottology

Historical linguistics

Historical linguistics has been defined by Nordquist as "one of the two main temporal dimensions of language study introduced by Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure in his Course in General Linguistics ". The central focus of historical linguistics is the study of language at different periods in history and as it changes between different periods of history. Historical linguistics is directly compared and distinguished from synchronic linguistics which studies language at a single historical period of time. Five of the principal concerns of historical linguistics are: to describe and account for observed changes in particular languages, to reconstruct the pre-history of languages and determine their relatedness, grouping them into language families, to develop general theories about how and why language changes, to describe the history of speech communities, and to study the history of words, i.e. etymology.
