Title: Leibniz, Humboldt, and the Origins of Comparativism : Proceedings of the International Conference, Rome, 25–28 September 1986
Description: Both Leibniz and Humboldt are scholars in whose work we find a passionate interest in the history and development of languages combined with a strong theoretical commitment. Linking their names to linguistic comparativism draws attention to the contribution these scholars have made to the history of comparativism and also promotes discussion of the relationship of theory and practice in linguistic research in more general terms. In September 1986, a conference on Leibniz, Humboldt and the Origins of Comparativism'was held in Rome. The papers included in this volume are revised versions of the papers presented at the conference.
