Tullio De Mauro bol taliansky lingvista, ktorého dielo sa hlboko zaoberalo podstatou a vývojom jazyka. Jeho výskum, ovplyvnený štrukturalistami a najmä Ferdinandom de Saussureom, sa snažil odhaliť zložitosť ľudskej komunikácie. De Mauro sa vo svojich publikáciách zameriaval na jazykovú lingvistiku a jej vplyv na ľudské myslenie. Jeho akademická kariéra a verejná činnosť zdôrazňujú jeho celoživotné odhodlanie študovať a šíriť jazykové poznanie.
The Cours de linguistique generale, reconstructed from students' notes after Saussure's death in 1913, founded modern linguistic theory by breaking the study of language free from a merely historical and comparativist approach. Saussure's new method, now known as Structuralism, has since been applied to such diverse areas as art, architecture, folklore, literary criticism, and philosophy.
Both Leibniz and Humboldt are scholars in whose work we find a passionate interest in the history and development of languages combined with a strong theoretical commitment. Linking their names to linguistic comparativism draws attention to the contribution these scholars have made to the history of comparativism and also promotes discussion of the relationship of theory and practice in linguistic research in more general terms. In September 1986, a conference on Leibniz, Humboldt and the Origins of Comparativism' was held in Rome. The papers included in this volume are revised versions of the papers presented at the conference.
Più di ogni altro segno, le parole accompagnano ogni nostra esperienza: le più personali e private e le più pubbliche, le più abituali e le creazioni più straordinarie della fantasia e del pensiero scientifico. Questo libro ci introduce a capire radici, modi, effetti del nostro parlare e, forse, a controllarlo meglio.
Die Buchreihe Konzepte der Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft gibt Aufschluss über Prinzipien, Probleme und Verfahrensweisen philologischer Forschung im weitesten Sinne und dient einer Bestimmung des Standorts der Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft.

Die Bände sind zum Teil informierende Einführungen, zum Teil wissenschaftliche Diskussionsbeiträge.
