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.
