Syntactic researches had remained under the influence of logic until the nineteenth century, in the second half of which they were inspired by psychology, but the development of an autonomous syntactic theory begins no earlier than in the twentieth century. This was not, however, in direct connection with the development of historical-comparative research and a certain disinclination for too hasty use of actual syntactic theory can be partly explained by the fact that a theoretically justified approach does not always appear to be useful in practice. General conceptions comparatively soon become outdated and they are the subject of discussion in this book.
