Abstract

Philology, as a field of study that integrates linguistics, literary criticism, and cultural history, remains one of the most fundamental disciplines in the humanities. This article examines the significance of philology in analyzing the structure and evolution of languages, interpreting literary texts, and preserving cultural heritage. By reviewing theoretical perspectives and practical applications, the study demonstrates how philology bridges the gap between language and society, and highlights its relevance in modern interdisciplinary research.
