Reviews

The book consists of five chapters written by specialists in 19th-century German linguistics and offers as a final chapter a bilingual edition of a major section of Die Sprachwissenschaft of Gabelentz (published in 1891, a second edition published in 1901, cf. Gabelentz 2016 [1891]. [...] In addition to the five previous chapters, each of which illuminates one facet of Gabelentz's multiple gifts, the critical and bilingual edition of J. McElvenny is particularly welcome. - Jacques Francois, Universite de Caen Normandie, Historiographia Linguistica, volume 47:2/3 (2020) L'ouvrage ici presente exprime une double ambition. Il participe d'une part de cette volonte de situer Gabelentz tout a la fois dans son univers culturel et par rapport aux preoccupations des linguistes d'aujourd'hui. Mais il fournit simultanement au lectorat non germaniste un acces direct a l'oeuvre elle-meme, puisque la plus grosse partie du livre (p. 132-313) est constituee d'une edition bilingue (anglais-allemand) d'un chapitre important de Sprachwissenschaft. - Didier Samain, Sorbonne Universite, HTL, Histoire Epistemologie Langage, 42/2 (2020)
