The Linguistic System of the Philosophy of Grammar

“…The well-known Danish linguist Otto Jespersen (1860-1943) devoted a number of works to questions of general linguistics ("Language", "Grammar System", "Textbook of Phonetics"), questions of the history and theory of the English language ("Progress in Language, in a Special Application to English Language", "The Growth and Structure of the English Language", "Grammar of Modern English on a Historical Basis [in 7 volumes]", "Fundamentals of English Grammar"), as well as issues of teaching foreign languages ("How to Teach a Foreign Language"). [2] Being a linguist of broad interests and a broad outlook, Jespersen develops in his writings a number of theoretical propositions, many of which are also of interest to modern Soviet linguistics. It is true that it should be noted that Jespersen failed to create a coherent system: in his works, interesting observations and particular conclusions are often combined with superficial and unfounded generalizations that do not correspond to the extensive preliminary work that the author has done in collecting and analyzing material from various earthly languages.…”
