插图：In the Introduction we have seen how the opportunities of surveying a greater and greater linguistic territory increased fromone period to the next, until, in recent times, after the resumptionof the study of Greek, the linguistic horizon of the ancients wascombined with that of the Middle Ages in one great survey. Thissurvey produced in itself the need for method, the need for aprinciple of rational classification of this vast material. In spite of its very different appearance, the linguistic science ofthe nineteenth century carries on logically from the earlierdeve opment: the butterfly bursts forth from its cocoon as the resultof the growth it has experienced within its winter shelter. The nineteenth century created the method which the previousdevelopment called for, and still further increased the materialavailable for study. This new material was not the least importantfactor in revolutionizing the whole conception of language. Theknowledge of the language.~ of ancient India was a genuinerevelation, not only because of its great age and transparentmorphology, which unexpectedly cast new light upon the relatedEuropean languages, but also because European scholars herebecame acquainted with a highly developed linguistic science whichhad other points of departure and another evolution than thelinguistic science of the Greeks. Moreover, it was distinguishsd bythe very thing so lacking in Greek linguistics m systematic, rationalanalysis of the forms of speech. But this was not the only addition toprevious knowledge. Everywhere linguistic material from older timeswas brought to light which made an historical treatment of languagepossible —— in distant Iran as well as in the regions of Europe knownin ancient times, among the Slavs, the Germans, the Celts. Thus inevery way the study of the Indo-European family of languages wasbroadened. Of this family, whose existence was first recognized atthe beginning of the century, even the least-known members weredrawn into the circle of investigation: first ithuanian, the great ageof whose forms became evident in the new light of linguisticcomparison, and attracted attention early.

裴特生(Holger Pedersen)，丹麦人，著名比较语言学家。1867年生于丹麦西部的Gelballe镇，早年曾跟随杰出的比较语言学家、新语法学派创始人卡尔·勃鲁格曼(Karl Brugmann)赴希腊西海岸与阿尔巴尼亚隔海相对的科孚岛(Corfu岛，现名克基拉岛)收集阿尔巴尼亚语材料。1897年获丹麦哥本哈根大学博士学位，此后一直在该校任教。1953年卒于哥本哈根。裴特生在方法论上受新语法学派的熏陶，他对历史比较语言学的贡献在于凯尔特语语法研究，代表作有《凯尔特语的比较语法》(两卷本，1909、1913，哥廷根出版)，此外，他对赫梯语(Hittite)和吐火罗语(Tocharian)也有独特的见解。本书是他最有影响力的著作，最早由哥本哈根出版社于1924年出版。
