Today Gabelentz is chiefly remembered for several insights that proved to be productive in the development of subsequent schools and subdisciplines. In this paper, we examine two of these insights, his analytic and synthetic systems of grammar and his foundational work on typology. We show how they were intimately connected within his conception of linguistic research, and how this was in turn embedded in the tradition established by Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), especially as it was further developed by H. Steinthal (1823-1899). This paper goes beyond several previous works with a similar focus by drawing on a wider range of Gabelentz' writings, including manuscript sources that have only recently been published, and by examining specific textual connections between Gabelentz and his predecessors.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchwarzKutzinskiLeBrunRicalensetal.2021, author = {Schwarz, Ingo and Kutzinski, Vera M. and Le Brun-Ricalens, Foni and L{\´o}pez Luj{\´a}n, Leonardo and Wey, Claude and Knobloch, Eberhard and Pr{\"u}fer Leske, Irene and Salzer, Leonhard and N{\"o}bauer, Anna and Sternagel, Renate and Stottmeister, Ulrich and Biermann, Kurt-R. and Kraft, Tobias}, title = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz}, volume = {XXII}, number = {43}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar and Knobloch, Eberhard}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-52203}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-522038}, pages = {153}, year = {2021}, abstract = {-Ingo Schwarz, Vera M.

H. Steinthal's (1823-1899) interpretation of linguistic form, however, made it the servant of psychology. The Formungstrieb (drive to formation) of Georg von der Gabelentz (1840-1893) challenged Steinthal's conception and placed a renewed emphasis on aesthetics. In this endeavour, Gabelentz drew on the work of such figures as August Friedrich Pott (1802-1887), Hans Conon von der Gabelentz (1807-1874) and William Dwight Whitney (1827-1894).
