The word Philology is used to denote two disciplines; or aspects of human activity. 1. The study of human records, the establishment of their authenticity and their original form and determination of their meaning. 2. Linguistics. This word is from Greek and it means ―love of learning and literature‖. Linguistics is the branch of Philology which deals with the study of the theoretical and practical problems of language functioning: system, structure and usage. The discipline we are presenting you within the hours given for this subject – that is “Roman-German philology” – deals with the problem of working out common features of the Germanc group of languages related to each other by the links of common origin. We‘ll speak about the modern status of each member of the Germanc group of languages.
