  J.R. Kantor: An Analysis of Psychological Language Data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
That is to say, the philologist may also deal with the institutional stimuli of genuine language reactions but this is only one kind of language fact, and one which, unless it is contained in an actual response situation, or behavior segment, consists of conventions of speech rather than speech itself.
When the philologist's material is not part of a behavior segment, such as the contents of a book when it is not being read, this material may be considered as a physical object exactly like any other kind of physical thing.
In the second place, the philologist is moved by his interest in the conventional to exclude interjectional reactions or to think of them as evolutionary prototypes of standardized speech, in other words, to place too great emphasis upon standard words whether as roots or affixes or as combinations of the two.

 J. R. R. Tolkien on Esperanto
by J. I take an interest, as a philologist, and as every philologist should, in the international-language movement, as an important and interesting linguistic phenomenon, and am sympathetic to the claims of Esperanto in particular.
But it is precisely my view of the international language situation, that such services, however good in theory, are in practice not wanted; in fact, that a time has come when the philological theorist is a hindrance and a nuisance.
Esperanto seems to me beyond doubt, taken all round, superior to all present competitors, but its chief claim to support seems to me to rest on the fact that it has already the premier place, has won the widest measure of practical acceptance, and developed the most advanced organisation.

 FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER - LoveToKnow Article on FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
(1823-1900), Anglo-German orientalist and comparative philologist, was born at Dessau on the 6th of December 1823, being the son of Wilhelm Muller (1794I 827), the German poet, celebrated for his phil-Hellenic lyrics, who was ducal librarian at Dessau.
Up to this time Max Muller had lived the life of a poor student, supporting himself partly by copying manuscripts, but Bunsens introductions to Queen Victoria and the prince consort, and to Oxford University, laid the foundation for him of fame and fortune.
Though Max Mullers reputation was that of a comparative philologist and orientalist, his professional duties at Oxford were long confined to lecturing on modern languages, or at least their medieval forms.
