Download or read book An Annotated Bibliography of Nineteenth century Grammars of English written by Manfred Görlach and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 19th century, education became accessible to much wider circles of society in a great number and variety of schools and the teaching of grammar came to be obligatory from 1870/72 with the advent of general education. Whereas these general trends of the 19th century are well-known to scholars working in different disciplines of social history, and the history of education in particular, it is still true that major sections of the evidence are largely uncollected. This is especially so for school books: there is virtually a gap between the 18th century and the present grammatical tradition. This bibliography lists some 1930 works on English grammar published in the 19th century, mainly in Britain and the US, half of which are accompanied by short descriptions of their physical make-up, content and affiliation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Appeal From the Absurdities and Contradictions Which Prevade, and Deform the Old Theory of English Grammar, to the True Constructive Principles of the English Language, Vol. 1 The English bids fair to be a living Language through time itself. Hence no change, in the means by which its principles are developed, calculated to redound to the honour of the present, and to the good of future generations, should be discouraged by the plea of a probable want of longevity in the language itself. It is composed of materials derived from various sources; and although these sources are rich even lo philological luxuries, the English Language is strong even to that persuasion to which reason itself often becomes a sacrifice. Hence considering the tender age of the English Language, perhaps it may he said to surpass every other? As the English Language is still in its youth, it is yet in a progressive stale. In general, men have three distinct objects in their instruments, means, and institutions. And as these are not simultaneous, hut successive in their existence, every human means, system, and institution must remain a long time in a state of progression. A man's first object in building, is a house which will provide for his necessities. - His second, is a house which will provide for his convenience - and his third object is one that will not only provide for his comfort, but which will comport with his wealth and station. Now, it is with a nation as it is with an individual; and it is with languages, systems, and institutions as it is with a house. Every thing that relates to man, is matter of progression. Listen to Cowper, singing the simple stool into the splendid sofa upon the notes of progressive improvement. And, if you turn to the stove, you will find that construction designed to answer the demands of necessity, thrown aside by the hands of genius, which has provided for necessity, convenience, and taste in the same thing. And, as you turn from the stove to language, yon will find the same hand abridging in some parts, augmenting in others, and adjusting all for convenience, strength, perspicuity, despatch, and euphony. Mark, the orthography of the italic words. "Haue more then thou showest, Speak less then thou knowest, Lend less then thou owest, Ride more then thou goest, Learne more then thou trowest." - Lear, p. 288.

Sojourne, is now sojourn - royall is now royal - selfe, is now self. "Men's eyes be obedient unto the creator that they may see on think, and yet not another. - Bishop Hooper. Creatour, is now Creator - on is now one - and think is now thing. "The woman's synne was lesse greuous than Adam's synne, and lesse hurtful to mankynde."

Download or read book Transcendental Wordplay written by Michael West and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, America was captivated by a muddled notion of "etymology." New England Transcendentalism was only one outcropping of a nationwide movement in which schoolmasters across small-town America taught students the roots of words in ways that dramatized religious issues and sparked wordplay. Shaped by this ferment, our major romantic authors shared the sensibility that Friedrich Schlegel linked to punning and christened "romantic irony." Notable punsters or etymologists all, they gleefully set up as sages, creating jocular masterpieces from their zest for oracular wordplay. Their search for a primal language lurking beneath all natural languages provided them with something like a secret language that encodes their meanings. To fathom their essentially comic masterpieces we must decipher it. Interpreting Thoreau as an ironic moralist, satirist, and social critic rather than a nature-loving mystic, Transcendental Wordplay suggests that the major American Romantics shared a surprising conservatism. In this award-winning study, Professor West rescues the pun from critical contempt and allows readers to enjoy it as a serious form of American humor.
