Reviews'In an agreeable style, and with an impressive depth of scholarly erudition, Drechsel argues cogently that Humboldt not only nourishes American linguistics but engaged in a mutually enlightening dialogue with American scholars. This contribution highlights the significance of Humboldt's thinking for linguistic anthropology worldwide, and will be welcomed by linguistics and translation scholars as a fine contribution to the new wave of Humboldt scholarship in Germany and the English-speaking world.' James W. Underhill, Full Professor of Translation and Ethnolinguistics, University of Normandy

SynopsisWilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), an early pioneer in the philosophy of language, linguistic and educational theory, was not only one of the First European linguists to identify human language as a rule-governed system -the foundational premise of Noam Chomsky's generative theory - or to reect on cognition in studying language; he was also a major scholar of Indigenous American languages. However, with his famous naturalist brother Alexander 'stealing the show,' Humboldt's contributions to linguistics and anthropology have remained understudied in English until today. Drechsel's unique book addresses this gap by uncovering and examining Humboldt's inuences on diverse issues in nineteenth-century American linguistics, from Peter S. Duponceau to the early Boasians, including Edward Sapir. This study shows how Humboldt's ideas have shaped the Field in multiple ways. Shining a light on one of the early innovators of linguistics, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Field.sted in the history of the Field.sted in the history of the Field.sted in the history of the Field., Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), an early pioneer in the philosophy of language, linguistic and educational theory, was not only one of the First European linguists to identify human language as a rule-governed system -the foundational premise of Noam Chomsky's generative theory - or to reect on cognition in studying language; he was also a major scholar of Indigenous American languages.
