Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Grebo Language The following collection of words has been made during a connection of twenty-two years with the Episcopal Mission at Cape Palmas. Its publication has been delayed partly by a press of duties which left com paratively little time for such work, and partly from the conviction that a good degree of familiarity with a language is essential to any reliable vocabulary of it. It is still incomplete; but so far as it goes it may be relied upon as correct. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the English Language Owing to the large number of corrections which the use of the newer method renders imperative, I took the opportunity, in 1901, of printing an entirely new edition of my Concise Etymological Dictionary, first issued in 1882, and partially corrected in four later editions the result being that the edition of 1901 entirely supersedes all that preceded it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of the Latin Language One word in regard to the Hebrew. Mr. Horne Tooke thus expresses his objection to the derivation of Latin from that lan guage. It is a most erroneous practice, he says, of the Latin Etymologists to fly to the Hebrew for whatever they cannot find in the Greek -for the Romans were not a mixed colony of Greeks and Jews, but of Greeks and Goths, as the whole of the Latin language most plainly evinces. This seems a reasonable proposition -yet I have not omitted to indulge the fancy of those who are not persuaded by it.

Download or read book The American Dictionary of the English Language written by Daniel Lyons and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Dictionary of the English Language: Based on the Conclusions of the Most Eminent Philologists It is confidently expected that this dictionary will commend itself to all those who favor books of reference on the multum in parvo plan. Every accepted word in the English language will be found in its pages; and, in addition, many technical terms which the advance of modern science and the recent rapid spread of useful knowledge in the United States have made part and parcel of our popular literature; also many old words and meanings found in the writings of the Elizabethan and Queen Anne periods. It has been found necessary to enlarge upon many words, whose full and real meaning is not adequately disclosed by a mere definition. To all definitions which do not apply in this country, the American meaning has been added. Local meanings, words and phrases; provincialisms, both English and American, and a few slang words and phrases - all of which are instructive as showing the natural growth, and in some cases the debasement, of the pure stock of our language - are given for what they are worth, and only in such instances as are to be met with in early and recent standard works. The etymology of each word will be found at the end of the definition of the primitive word. These etymologies will be found to differ materially from those found in other dictionaries, of even recent date. As it is only within the past twenty-five years that the etymology of English words has attained even the semblance of an exact science, these new etymologies will be found, in general, more correct than those of any preceding work. The industrious labors of Skeat, Wedgwood and other recent authorities on English philology, leave the most patient lexicographer with many open questions upon his hands. For this very sufficient reason, the editors of this dictionary announce, simply, that they have given the latest and what to them seem the most imperative conclusions of the science of English philology - a science which, though rapidly progressing, is still, on the whole, quite incomplete. We have but to add that, in general, the aim of the editors of the "American Dictionary of the English Language" has been to give to the public a convenient lexicon which will decide all questions about words, which arise in the course of general reading, and to give to the American reading public the latest, most authentic and most complete conclusions of English philology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of the English Language, for the Use of Schools, and for General Reference: With the Principles of Pronunciation, Orthography, and Etymology, Fully Explained, and Practically Illustrated And what can be more unsatisfactory than the etymological information given in our English dictionaries Even in the voluminous and celebrated work of dr. Johnson, the amount of information on this important and interesting branch of lexicography, scarcely ever exceeds a Latin 01 French word, par parenthese. N ow, of what use is the meie indication of the root? To those who know any thing of the learned languages, such information is unnecessary; and to those who do not, it is useless, - unlesis, indeed, the primary meaning, and secondary applications of the term referred to, be fully and clearly explained. On this subject horne tooke has truly said It is a trifling etymology that barely refers us to some word in another language, either the same or similar, unless the meaning of the word, and cause of its imposition, can be discovered by such a reference.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Etymology, Vol. 1 In the present edition, the original text is printed entire, with no change but the correction of perhaps half a dozen errors of the press and the trans fer of the articles composing the Appendix to their proper places in the alphabet. My additions consist of notes upon a considerable number of words, a list of which is given at the end of this preface. These notes are inclosed in brackets and signed with the initial M. My observations, as will be seen, are confined almost wholly to historical derivation, and I have attempted little in the way of conjectural deduction from imitative sounds, from the supposed natural significance of primary consonantal combinations, or from the analogies of ancient and remote languages not' actually known to have contributed directly to the composition of the English vocabulary. This course has been imposed upon me as well by necessity as by choice. I will not indeed affect to say, with Capgrave, that I want ny al that schuld longe to a studier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of the English Language: Containing the Pronunciation, Etymology, and Explanation of All Words Authorized by Eminent Writers The most philosophical mode of explaining words would have been to have given first their primary signification, as indicated by their derivation, and afterwards, in the order of their connexion with it, all their secondary meanings. But in this, as in derivation, the Compiler has been restricted by want of room and he has been under the necessity of confining himself to those acceptations which words most commonly bear in speech and writing. It thus not unfreqnently happens, that the primary meanings of words have been omitted, because they are not in use, and that secondary meanings are attached to them, which appear to have no connexion with their derivation. Such explanations and definitions as he has given, how ever, the Compiler has endeavoured to make as perspicuous, and, at the same time, as concise as possible; and he trusts that they will be found snficient to convey the ordinary acceptations of all the authorized words in the English language.
