Zusammenfassung:This study examines specific implications of the considerable overlap in methodology and theory of 19th-century geology and philology. Recognition of this overlap is indispensable to a complete understanding of philology's development into the more empirical science of linguistics, especially as this empiricism culminates in the neogrammarian doctrine of exceptionless sound laws. The study consists of three major parts: I Uniformitarianism in the Palaetiological Sciences [i.e. geology and other natural sciences studying life in earlier periods of the earth]; II The Rise of Uniformitarianism in.
