| Abstract | John Waterman's goal has been to prepare a text broad enough in scope to provide the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student with both an introduction to the more specialized philology courses and a reasonably comprehensive account of the historical development of the modern standard language. He has tried above all to keep the American-reared and American-schooled student in mind, including for this reason much more information of a general encyclopedic nature than is found in the standard German handbooks. |
