What is "philology"?
Philology is the study of language in written historical sources, focusing on the development, evolution, and relationships of languages over time. This field combines elements of linguistics, literature, history, and cultural studies to analyze texts, grammar, and vocabulary from past languages. Philologists often work with ancient manuscripts and inscriptions, seeking to understand not only the language itself but also the cultural and historical contexts in which it was used. This research helps to uncover the origins of languages, trace their changes, and gain insights into the societies that spoke them.
