Abstract: Historical texts serve as a crucial foundation for modern linguistics, offering insights into the evolution of language, syntax, and semantics over time. By analyzing ancient manuscripts, inscriptions, and literary works, researchers uncover patterns that shed light on linguistic shifts and cultural influences. These texts provide valuable data for reconstructing proto-languages and understanding the development of language families. Furthermore, they bridge the gap between philology and contemporary linguistics, emphasizing the interplay between historical context and modern language structures. This article explores how historical texts continue to shape linguistic theory and practice in today’s ever-evolving field.
