Download or read book A Study of English Words Classic Reprint written by Jessie MacMillan Anderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Study of English Words is a study of the growth of the English language. Anderson's book is not a dictionary or an examination of grammatical principles, but rather a detailed examination of the English language and the changes it had undergone as of the late nineteenth century. The book opens with a chapter on the defining principals of language development in which Anderson outlines his belief in the importance of etymology. The book then proceeds to examine the major changes that English words have undergone, focusing primarily on the external influences that have caused these changes. Individual chapters are devoted to Greek, Latin, and French elements in English, the artist's and scientist's use of words, the ever expanding list of synonyms for English words, and several other topics. While the author states in his preface that the book is intended as a textbook, A Study of English Words is surprisingly devoid of any review questions. Anderson's book is a thorough and competent examination of the growth of the English language. The author has appropriately identified the major forces that influence change in the language, and has effectively highlighted these changes. While the book can seem dry at times, Anderson's concise language ensures the major teaching points are never obstructed. A Study of English Words is a book that will appeal to the true English-language enthusiast. Those fascinated by the development of language will find this to be an informative and worthwhile read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Words and Their Uses, Past and Present: A Study of the English Language IN preparing a new edition of this book, I have sought help and taken hints from every criticism of it that I have seen; and I heard of none that I did not try to find if it was not at hand. Whoever at tempts to correct the faults of others in any respect may expect severe treatment at the hands of the very men whom he would serve; and if his efforts are directed to their use of language, he may reasonably look forward to walking, sitting, and sleeping upon pen points for a while. Wherefore I have been very pleasantly surprised that of the much that has been written about this book, so little, comparatively, was disparaging. In only one quarter have I found reason to complain of unfairness, or even of a captions spirit, while the general tone of my critics, public and pri vate, has been that of thankfulness for a real service. But I have tried not to allow myself to be led by the favorable judgment of my critics into the belief that I could disregard the strictures of my censors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Usage: Studies in the History and Uses of English Words and Phrases It is Often said that a preface is unnecessary. I feel, how ever, that I should write one to set forth the Object and the scope of this volume. I have long felt that not only purists but a far better class of men were putting us, teachers and pupils and general pub lic, in strait-jackets. Distinguished grammarians and emi nent rhetorical scholars condemn in their books many words and phrases that we see all through the literature. They seem at times to combine to expel from the language some locution that we have heard frequently from attractive speakers and have seen often in the works of eminent writers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Word and Phrase: True and False Use in English I some languages are homogeneous others hetero geneous, the homogeneous being such as consist of a larger or smaller number of root words or radicals native in them and of derivative and compound words formed from those roots; the heterogeneous those whose roots are of various origin, a comparatively small portion being native in the language, the rest being taken from one or many other sources. Of the first class the German language is a very good ex ample, but such also is the Greek and such the Latin of the other class the English language is the type. With exception of an inconsiderable number of words borrowed from extrane languages, Latin, Greek, and other tongues, the German vocabulary is absolutely pure and homogeneous, and were those borrowed foreign words to be thrown out, the native resources of the German language are sufficient to provide ade quate substitutes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
