What reading level is Principles of the History of Language book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Just as, in different places, sounds markedly different can be denoted by the same letters, so, and even more easily, in the same place at different times. No letter, of course, is connected really with any particular sound by a real bond capable of maintaining itself independently : the connexion XXI.l LANGUAGE AND WRITING.
443 depends exclusively upon association of the ideas. We connect with each letter the association of just such sound as is in use at a particular time. The process in the ...case of natural sound-change is — as we have seen (p. 44),-^that in the place of this idea, another slightly different is substituted, which, transmitted to the following generation, is received from the outset as bound up with the letters.
The sound-image associated with the letter is thus unable to exercise any check upon the sound-change, because it is itself modified by this. And naturally, the actual phonetic value of a letter is always assumed for it in the records of the past. There is no possible way to compare the earlier phonetic value with the present one.
