Alfred Dwight Sheffield’s contribution to applied linguistics: Integrating general linguistics and English educational grammar
Alfred Dwight Sheffield (1871–1961) intended to reform the teaching of English grammar at all educational levels by applying relevant contemporary linguistic research to help teachers rethink their assumptions about language and grammar. This paper explores Sheffield’s contribution to applied linguistics by developing an educational grammar. Focusing on his final publication, Command of Sentence-Patterns: An English Grammar on New Principles (192…
William Dwight Whitney’s study of language acquisition in The Life and Growth of Language (1875): His entry point to his scientific method and theory of language and mind
William Dwight Whitney (1827–1894) began The Life and Growth of Language: An Outline of Linguistic Science (1875) with an initial chapter fully devoted to language acquisition. He began his study of linguistic science with language acquisition because for him it was the logical starting point for a study of language, and it introduced his scientific method and his theory of language and mind. Throughout the chapter, Whitney exemplified the centri…
‘A philosopher’s grammar’: Henry Sweet’s ‘general’, ‘universal’, and ‘philosophical grammar’
Henry Sweet (1845–1912) defined a philosophical grammar (which he referred to as philosophical, general and universal grammar) as a grammar ‘not concerned with the details of one special language or family of languages, but with the general principles that underlie the grammatical phenomena of all languages’ (1892: 3). His philosophical grammar, compared to the comparative philological grammars that dominated the nineteenth century, was not only …
Preliminary reflections on a philosophical language: A study of John Wilkins’ Mercury : or the secret and swift messenger
In An Essay towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language (1668), John Wilkins (1614–1672) invented a real character, an artificial language, to express his philosophical language. The Essay was a culmination of Wilkins’ long-term analyses of the interrelationships among language, communication, science, and learning. His lesser known publication on language, Mercury: or the Secret and Swift Messenger (1641), was Wilkins’ earliest publis…

Lexicography and the Evolution of Consciousness: A study of Owen Barfield’s History in English Words
Owen Barfield (1898-1997), a cultural critic and historian, has been appreciated by literary scholars and artists including C. S. Lewis, T. S. Eliot, and W. H. Auden, but he has been relatively unnoticed by linguists despite the fact that he advanced a thoughtfully reasoned and documented theory of language history throughout his many writings. In his theory of etymological semantics, Barfield asserted that the etymology of words reveals an evolu…

Linguists who teach introductory courses in their discipline routinely encounter the nonlinguists' knowledge, or lack of it, about language. Their students are fairly predictable in their ignorance of basic linguistic concepts: For example, they typically believe that there in one standard dialect of English, that a word's true meaning has little to do with its current usage, and that nonstandard dialects are primitive languages. In fact, teacher…
Educational reform in seventeenth-century England and John Wilkins' philosophical language
The New Philosophy and Universal Languages in Seventeenth-Century England: Bacon, Hobbes, and Wilkins
This book is an interdisciplinary study of the seminal role played by language debates in the cultural politics of early modern England. It sets out to recover the neglected history of those emerging new philosophies that endeavor to align themselves not with radical ideologies but with the conservative interest of centralizing state power
From pragmatics to semiotics: The influence of John Wilkins’ pulpit oratory on his philosophical language
John Wilkins' (1614-1672) earlier work on pulpit oratory in Ecclesiastes (1646) and Gift of Prayer (1655) provide a rationale for his later work on philosophical language in his Essay towards a Real Character (1868). Clauss (1982) pointed out that one could view Wilkins' linguistic writings as compatible, and the present paper advances her argument by showing that his work on philosophical language grew out of his work on pulpit oratory. Moreover…
From Babel to Eden: Comenius and the 17th-Century Philosophical Langage Movement
Starting in the 1950s, there has been renewed interest in the 17th-century English philosophical language movement and in Jan Amos Comenius (1592-1670), who visited England in 1641 and participated in that movement. In that most of the interest in Comenius has been centered on his role in the development of philosophical language, there has been a tendency to take his theory of universal language ('panglottia') out of the broader intellectual con…
Language and Experience in 17th-Century British Philosophy
The focus of this volume is the crisis of the traditional view of the relationship between words and things and the emergence of linguistic arbitrarism in 17th-century British philosophy. Different groups of sources are explored: philological and antiquarian writings, pedagogical treatises, debates on the respective merits of the liberal and mechanical arts, essays on cryptography and the art of gestures, polemical pamphlets on university reform,…
Neo-aristotelian grammar in 17th-century England: Bassett Jones’ theory of rational syntax
In his Herm'œlogium; or an Essay at the Rationality of Speaking of 1659 Basset Jones intended to supplement William Lily's (c. 1468-1522) popular 16th-century grammar, which had received the endorsement of Edward VI. Written in English and Latin, Lily's grammar through its many editions not only set the standard for Latin grammars, but it also established the style for the first and subsequent grammars of English. Jones realized that Lily's gramm…

Thomas stackhouse's theory of linguistic rhetoric: A study of reflections on the nature and property of languages (1731)
Thomas Stackhouse's (1657-1752) Reflections On the Nature and Property of Languages (1731) was directly concerned with two areas critical to an understanding of 18th century English linguistic theory: the nature and origin of language, and rhetorical grammar. Stackhouse's method was as follows: he defined language according to its origins and history, and he identified those rhetorical universals which he believed were essential for the refinemen…
The Theory of English Lexicography, 1530-1791
This book serves as a welcome addition to the better known English Dictionary from Cawdrey to Johnson, 1604-1755 , by Starnes a Noyes (new edition published by Benjamins 1991). Whereas Starnes a Noyes describe the history of English lexicography as an evolutionary progress-by-accumulation process, Professor Hayashi focuses on issues of method and theory, starting with John Palsgrave’s Lesclarissement de la langue francoyse (1530), to John Walker’…

The Semantic Theory of James Harris: A Study of Hermes (1751)
Although the semantic theory proposed by Harris in Hermes (1751) was not well received in 18th-century England and has been generally neglected by scholars ever since, it is certainly deserving of our attention because it is a perceptive analysis of the logico-semantic structure of language. In the tradition of philosophical or universal grammar, Harris argued that the subject matter of the linguist should be the conceptual level or the deep stru…
