Content:
In 1920-1924 Jacob Wackernagel, Professor of Comparative Philology at the University of Basel, published two volumes of lectures on Greek, Latin & German syntax based on his 1918-1919 courses for beginning undergraduates (who would already have studied all three languages at school). Wackernagel introduces the principles of grammatical functions & cross-linguistic work, & provides a foundation for the understanding of comparative syntax. The book remained in print for many decades thanks to its lively style & well-chosen examples. The Sanskritist Louis Renou (1896-1966), writing on Wackernagel in 1938, asserted that 'no linguist could possibly afford to ignore this book', & it remains of interest to historical linguists & scholars of classical languages today. In this, the second volume, Wackernagel discusses gender, nouns & adjectives, pronouns, the article, prepositions & negation.
