Linguistic Structure, Geographical And Reconstructive Linguistics: Method Of Reconstruction In Letrary Criticism

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between linguistic structure (langage), geographical linguistics, and reconstructive linguistics by analyzing the impact of geographical factors on the development and spread of dialects and languages across time and space. The article focuses on how the geographical distribution of languages affects their internal structure and discusses how cultural and social factors shape this structure, based on Saussure's ideas on historical linguistics and the method of reconstruction. The objective of this article is to show that linguistic changes are not limited to phonetic differences but also include geographical and anthropological influences that contribute to the transformation and distribution of language. This is what the concept of linguistic structure offers in linguistics and structural anthropology. The article also highlights the importance of the comparative and reconstructive methods in studying ancient languages and reveals the role of reconstructive linguistics in understanding language changes over time and geography. Furthermore, it discusses the connection between language and society and its influence on cultures and human relationships.
