The Study Of Tongues

The Study of Tongues is a historical text written by Roger Bacon, a 13th-century English philosopher and Franciscan friar. The book explores the nature and origins of language and communication, and delves into the study of linguistics and the science of language. Bacon's work was groundbreaking for its time, as he was one of the first scholars to approach language as a subject of scientific inquiry rather than simply a means of communication. The Study of Tongues covers a wide range of topics, from the structure of language and the relationship between words and meaning, to the evolution of language over time and the role of language in society. Bacon's insights and observations continue to be studied and debated by linguists and scholars today, making The Study of Tongues an important work in the history of linguistics and language theory.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Opus Majus of Roger Bacon Part 1, by Roger Bacon.
