Books by A. H. Sayce

Vol 1. First published in 1900, this was the first of two volumes of the magnum opus from pioneer assyriologist and linguist Rev. Archibald Sayce and provided an introduction to theories on the nature, behaviour and development of languages along with the morphology and physiology of speech.

In this two-volume work of 1880, Sayce attempts to give 'a systematic account of the Science of Language, its nature, its progress and its aims'. Volume 1 outlines the history of theories of language, and considers the causes of language change, phonology, morphology and comparative syntax.
