Where it came from
Published in 1962 by George Allen & Unwin, this volume serves as a curated anthology of the most significant linguistic papers by Otto Jespersen, the influential Danish philologist. It was compiled to make his wide-ranging observations on English grammar, language evolution, and phonetics accessible to a mid-century academic audience, reflecting the enduring relevance of his structuralist approach to language study.
The collection highlights Jespersen’s goal of bridging the gap between historical linguistics and modern descriptive grammar. By selecting works that span his long career, the editors aimed to showcase his development of 'theory of grammar' and his advocacy for international auxiliary languages. The book is widely regarded as a cornerstone for students of linguistics, noted for preserving the clarity and systematic rigor that characterized Jespersen’s original scholarship.
