Description

Tolkien's views on language were unconventional and challenged established linguistic theory. His concept of 'native (hereditary) language' and ideas about 'linguistic aesthetic' and 'phonetic fitness' have not received sufficient attention from scholars. Ross Smith explores Tolkien's position on language in depth, shedding new light on this aspect of his work. This revised edition is a significant contribution to the study of Tolkien's linguistic theories. By examining Tolkien's views on language, readers can gain a deeper understanding of his creative process and the development of his fictional worlds.
