Isi artikelThis paper brings to light the contribution the early German semasiologists – most prominently Christian Karl Reisig, Friedrich Haase, and, later, Ferdinand Heerdegen – made to the establishment of semantic theorising as a genuine discipline in linguistics in general and, specifically, in grammaticography. Prior to Bre´al, who is often credited with having inaugurated the discipline, these authors developed a programme for a theory of meaning as a part of grammar in its own right. The paper begins with the initial framework proposed by Reisig, who introduced an architecture of grammar that comprises, in addition to the traditional elements ‘‘etymology’’ and ‘‘syntax’’, an explicit semasiological component. It then investigates the various responses to Reisig’s trichotomy of grammar in 19th century linguistics, in particular in the work of Reisig’s followers Haase and Heerdegen, but also in the work of authors outside of the semasiological movement. As part of the analysis, the origin of the term and concept ‘‘semasiology’’ is traced, from its first mention in Reisig’s lectures and its subsequent spread to its gradual substitution, as a cover term for the theory of meaning, by Bre´al’s term ‘‘semantique’’, and finally to its established present-day use. The second and more specific focus in the paper is on the accounts the early semasiologists give of word formation, and on the place these accounts have in their overall conception of grammar. This particular subject has been virtually unaddressed in historiographic studies so far, and Schmitter’s paper is a substantial step towards the full appreciation of the historical contribution these early theories of word formation made to the development of the field.
