Features: Leonard Bloomfield was one of the founders and most important representatives of American structuralist linguistics. His linguistic theory "dominated the attitudes and views of most American linguists in the 1930s and 1940s," and scholars of the post-Bloomfield school in the late 1940s to the 1950s all built their theoretical systems based on the principles and methods he established. For such a giant in the history of linguistics, it is necessary to understand his linguistic theory in a complete and accurate manner, grasp the development of his linguistic thought, and trace its evolutionary trajectory. Bloomfield's linguistic research mainly includes four aspects: 1. The basic theories and methods of descriptive linguistics; 2. Historical-comparative linguistics; 3. The investigation and description of indigenous languages; 4. Foreign language teaching.
