Download or read book Moreno s Dictionary of Spanish Named California Cities and Towns written by H. M. Moreno and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moreno's Dictionary of Spanish-Named California Cities and Towns: Containing: The Definition and Correct Pronunciation of Every Spanish-Named City, Town, Village and Hamlet in California; The Heretofore Practically Unknown Origin of the Name of California and the Much-Less Known Derivation and Definition of the Name Of Great care should be taken in the coinage of spanish-american combinations, lest the counterfeiters be led into the paths of the ridiculous, as in the case 'of those who are responsible for the christening of a community in one of the southern counties. Undoubtedly, the intent of the sponsors for the new-born community meant to lay particular stress upon the quality of ozone in that section, as the place has been named Ozena. As this name means in Spanish fetid ulcers of the nostrils, the author took it upon himself to omit the word and spare the dignity of the commun ity and its residents. In conclusion, do not be too precipitate with criticism. You may know some Spanish name (supposedly) that does not appear in this book.

Download or read book American Mediterraneans written by Susan Gillman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the “American Mediterranean,” both an idea and a shorthand popularized by geographers, historians, novelists, and travel writers from the early nineteenth century to the 1970s. The naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, visiting the Gulf-Caribbean in the early nineteenth century, called it America’s Mediterranean. Almost a century later, Southern California was hailed as “Our Mediterranean, Our Italy!” Although “American Mediterranean” is not a household phrase in the United States today, it once circulated widely in French, Spanish, and English as a term of art and folk idiom. In this book, Susan Gillman asks what cultural work is done by this kind of unsystematic, open-ended comparative thinking. American Mediterraneans tracks two centuries of this geohistorical concept, from Humboldt in the early 1800s, to writers of the 1890s reflecting on the Pacific world of the California coast, to writers of the 1930s and 40s speculating on the political past and future of the Caribbean. Following the term through its travels across disciplines and borders, American Mediterraneans reveals a little-known racialized history, one that paradoxically appealed to a range of race-neutral ideas and ideals.
Download or read book American Language Supplement 2 written by H.L. Mencken and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DEFINITIVE EDITION OF The American Language was published in 1936. Since then it has been recognized as a classic. It is that rarest of literary accomplishments—a book that is authoritative and scientific and is at the same time very diverting reading. But after 1936 HLM continued to gather new materials diligently. In 1945 those which related to the first six chapters of The American Language were published as Supplement I; the present volume contains those new materials which relate to the other chapters. The ground thus covered in Supplement II is as follows: 1. American Pronunciation. Its history. Its divergence from English usage. The regional and racial dialects. 2. American Spelling. The influence of Noah Webster upon it. Its characters today. The simplified spelling movement. The treatment of loan words. Punctuation, capitalization, and abbreviation. 3. The Common Speech. Outlines of its grammar. Its verbs, pronouns, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. The double negative. Other peculiarities. 4. Proper Names in America. Surnames. Given-names. Place-names. Other names. 5. American Slang. Its origin and history. The argot of various racial and occupational groups. Although the text of Supplement II is related to that of The American Language, it is an independent work that may be read profitably by persons who do not know either The American Language or Supplement I.
