THIS BOOK Swiss Ferdinand de Saussure is known as 'the father of modern
Linguistics.' For others, the 'champion of Linguistics' came later on in
the person of American Noam Chomsky. As a matter of fact, the
infatuation for language goes much earlier in history. It was strongly
felt under remote horizons, in the Far and Middle East, before reaching
Europe and North America. This book is an attempt to give a glimpse on
this long journey of language studies from different regions of the
world, such as India, Iraq, Cordoba, and ancient Greece amongst others.
