What is August Schleicher and Morphology about?
August Schleicher was a 19th century German linguist whose work in comparative linguistics summarized the field up to that time and established the methodology for subsequent research. He aimed to develop a scientific theory of language based on principles of natural science. Schleicher named morphology as a sub-discipline of linguistics in 1859, defining it as the study of the form of words. He was influenced by Hegelian philosophy and pre-Darwinian biology in his approach.
