Lectures on the Science of Language Delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in April May and June 1861 1st Table of contents:

• LECTURE I: Introductory Lecture. New Materials for the Science of Language, and New Theories.

  • (This lecture likely sets the stage, defining the scope of the science of language and discussing its emergence as a distinct field of study.)

• LECTURE II: Language and Reason.

  • (This lecture probably explores the intricate relationship between human language and the faculty of reason, perhaps distinguishing human language from animal communication.)

• LECTURE III: The Physiological Alphabet.

  • (This would delve into the physiological aspects of speech production, the organs involved, and the classification of speech sounds.)

• LECTURE IV: Phonetic Change.

  • (This lecture would discuss the natural and systematic ways in which sounds in languages evolve over time, leading to linguistic change.)

• LECTURE V: Grimm's Law.

  • (A crucial lecture, focusing on Grimm's Law, a set of phonetic shifts that explain correspondences between certain Germanic and other Indo-European languages. This was a cornerstone of comparative philology.)

• LECTURE VI: On the Principles of Etymology.

  • (This lecture would explore the science of word origins and the historical development of words, often drawing on comparative analysis.)

• LECTURE VII: On the Powers of Roots.

  • (This likely discusses the concept of "roots" as the ultimate, unanalyzable elements of words, and how they combine to form the lexicon of a language.)

• LECTURE VIII: Metaphor.

  • (This lecture would likely explore the fundamental role of metaphor in the formation and evolution of language, and how abstract concepts are often derived from concrete ones.)

• LECTURE IX: The Mythology of the Greeks.

  • (This lecture touches on Müller's theory that many myths arose from linguistic misunderstandings or "diseases of language," particularly in relation to the personification of natural phenomena.)
