Excerpt from Readings in Linguistics: The Development of Descriptive Linguistics in America Since 1925

The sequence and the ambiguity are historically founded. American Linguistics derives, ultimately and also currently, from the brute necessities of stating what has been found in a particular language. It got its decisive direction when it was decided that an indigenous language could be described better without any preexistent scheme of what a language must be than with the usual reliance upon Latin as the model. It is usual to name Franz Boas in this connection; other early contributors are represented in his Handbook (see p. 385 here). From that time to today, the style of American Linguistics continues unbroken, through vast total changes. One transition may be mentioned here; the rest is in the Readings.
