"The Philosophic Grammar of American Languages" by Wilhelm von Humboldt is a scholarly linguistic text written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the nature, structure, and significance of various American languages, offering a philosophical framework for understanding their grammar and linguistic development. It reveals Humboldt's insights into the relationship between language, thought, and culture, emphasizing the unique characteristics of American linguistic forms. The opening of the text introduces the philosophical foundations laid by Humboldt throughout his scholarly career, particularly regarding the languages of the Americas. It discusses how he viewed languages as organic entities connected to the mental and emotional growth of the societies that speak them. Humboldt's analysis applies a philosophic lens to language study, aiming to highlight the inherent principles that govern language formation and development. This section sets the stage for further exploration of specific grammatical features, including the verb, among various American languages, reflecting both Humboldt's admiration for their complexity and the universal traits shared across human speech.
