The chapter introduces the concept of Dynamic Philology, a field that aims to bring the study of language more in line with the exact sciences. It views speech as a natural psychological and biological phenomenon, to be studied using statistical principles applied to the observable phenomena of the stream of speech. The primary goal is to observe, measure, and formulate tentative laws governing the underlying forces that impel and direct linguistic expression. The chapter discusses the relationship between the form of speech elements and their behavior, highlighting that the frequency of a word is closely related to its usage, and more complex phonetic elements occur less frequently. It also explores the high degree of orderliness in linguistic forces, such as the frequency distribution of words in English, which approximates an harmonic series. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the nature of meaning and emotion in language, and how they manifest in speech. The chapter concludes by outlining the approach and methods of Dynamic Philology, including the use of statistical measurement to study speech dynamics, and the significance of the stream of speech as a continuum of communicative gestures.The chapter introduces the concept of Dynamic Philology, a field that aims to bring the study of language more in line with the exact sciences.
