Features: This book is compiled from the lecture notes of the author who has been teaching the history of Western linguistics at the Chinese Department of Fudan University's Chinese Language Program and the Modern Chinese Teaching Assistant Program in recent years. "The History of Western Linguistics" is actually an introductory course for studying linguistics, mainly introducing the development of Western linguistics, reviewing the theories and research methods of influential linguistic schools and linguists in history, and aiming to prepare students with theoretical and background knowledge before conducting in-depth research. This preparation is, in fact, necessary for anyone engaged in language teaching, research, or concerned with linguistic topics.
