This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English The vocabulary dealt with is, roughly speaking, that Of the Concise Oxford Dictionary collated, during the printing Of the book, with that of Cassell's New English Dictionary These two marvels Of completeness and compression include, however, a great number Of scientific and technical words which can hardly be regarded as forming part Of the English language, while omitting, either by accident or. Design, others which, in my Opinion, have acquired civic rights. As our language grows with the same majestic and unnoticed progress as our empire, it results that every dictionary is, strictly Speaking, out of date within a month Of its publication, and many words will be found here which are not recorded in either of the above compilations.

Download or read book The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English Classic Reprint written by Henry Watson Fowler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English Again, of the many thousands of old or new scientific and technical terms that have a limited currency some are carried by accident into the main stream of the language and become known temporarily or permanently, vaguely or precisely, to all ordinarily well-informed members of the modern newspaper-reading public. For the purposes of a dictionary that is not to be bulky and yet is to give a fuller treatment than is usual in dictionaries of its size to the undoubtedly current words forming the staple of the language, selection among these intruders is a difficult but very necessary task. The most that can be hoped for is that every one conversant with any special vocabulary may consider us, though sadly deficient on his subject, fairly copious on others the meaning cf many learned words that have been omitted as having no pretence to general currency may easily be gathered by reference first to the stem, which is often the subject of an article, or to another word of which the stem is clearly the same, and secondly to the suffix. In another class of words and senses the test of currency has led us to diverge in the opposite direction from the practice usual in dictionaries of this size if we give fewer scientific and technical terms, we admit colloquial, facetious, slang, and vulgar expressions with freedom, merely attaching a cautionary label when a well established usage of this kind is omitted, it is not because we consider it beneath the dignity of lexicography to record it, but because, not being recorded in the dictionaries from which our word-list is necessarily compiled, it has escaped our notice we have not, however, consulted slang dictionaries nor made any attempt at completeness in this respect.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of the English Language The household dictionary of Dr. Worcester, based upon the well-known Academic Dictionary of the distinguished author, will be found to contain in its extensive vocabulary some fifty thousand words succinctly, defined, the pronunciation of which is indicated with that scrupulous accuracy for which Dr. Worcester's series of books have ever been noted.
