Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer of Historical English Grammar The object of this book is to give the essentials of historical English grammar as far as is possible within the limits of 100 pages, excluding syntax, but including the history of the language, phonology, inflections, particles, composition, and derivation. Although it covers exactly the same ground as my S/zort Hzlr/orz'cal Grammar (itself an abridgment of the historical portions of my jvcrw Englz's/z Grammar), yet the great compression involved in writing it has obliged me to depart considerably from the plan of the larger works; although in some cases, where the limits of conciseness had already been reached in the Sbaft Hzlrlorz'cal Grammar, I have naturally preferred con servatism to useless innovation.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rand-McNally English Grammar and Composition New text-books on grammar appear annually, a fact which proves clearly the difficulty the teacher experiences in finding the ideal book for school use. Many of these books have admirable features, but few are adapted to the needs of the learner. The young pupil does not need an exhaustive treatise. What he does need is a concise statement of the actual facts of modern English brief, clear definitions of the laws of language, and ample illustra tion of these principles by examples that illustrate, chosen from the masters of English.

Download or read book The English Language and English Grammar written by Samuel Ramsey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Language and English Grammar: An Historical Study of the Sources, Development, and Analogies of the Language and of the Principles Governing Its Usages Much of what is contained in the following pages was first written for purposes of private instruction, and without any View to publication but as one chapter was added after another, it began to be thought that some portions might interest a larger class of readers. There are many persons who would be glad to know more about the English language than can be gained from the formal routine of the public schools, who, nevertheless, are unable to procure and read the great number of valuable works on the subject that have issued from the press within a period of fifty years. Such persons are in a position to appreciate a work taking a somewhat wider view than the common text-books, and presenting some of the more familiar results of modern philology. There are two classes for whom this book is not intended. The first are those who are already familiar with all the results of past labors, and who, therefore, can find nothing here to add to their present ample stores of knowledge, there being no claim to original discovery or invention. The second class are those who neither know or care anything about the history or philology of their native tongue. Between these extremes is the large and important class who already know something and desire to know more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Grammar In teaching the History of the English Language, I have looked in vain for a more available copy of Ben Jonson's English Grammar than that found in his collected works. A production so peculiarly distinct from The Hue and Cry after Cupid, or the Pindaric Ode, seems to call for a volume to itself. And the student of the history of English certainly needs it, as the grammar of the best standing for the seventeenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Grammar: Including the Principles of Grammatical Analysis IT is hardly necessary to repeat here the acknowledgments which I have already made in previous editions of the 'extent' to which my English Grammar in its present form is' indebted to the splendid works of Matzner and Koch, the latter of whom has traced the development of English with such care and fulness that later systematic grammars contain little of consequence on this subject beyond what is already to be. Found in his pages. I have made special reference to his work from time to time by way of reminding the reader of the source of the information given. The few instances in which I have been beholden to Dr. Morris's Historical Outlines of English Accidence for materials not already contained in Koch's' grammar have been scrupulously noticed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of English Grammar: The Substance of All the Most Approved English Grammars Extant, Briefly Defined, and Neatly Arranged Orthography is mentioned rather for the sake of order, than from a conviction of its utility; for, in my opinion, to occupy thirty or forty pages of a Grammar in defining the sounds of the alphabet, is quite preposterous. On Etymology I have lefl much to be remarked by the teacher in the time of teaching. My reason for doing this is, that children, when by themselves, labour more to have the words of their book imprinted on their memories, than to have the meaning fixed in their minds; but, on the contrary, when the teacher addresses them viva voce, they naturally strive rather to comprehend his meaning, than to remember his exact expressions. In pursuance of this idea, the first part of this little volume has been thrown into a form more resembling heads of Lectures on Grammar, than a complete elucidation of the subject. That the teacher, however, may not be always under the necessity of having recourse to his memory to supply the deficiencies, the most remarkable observations have been subjoined at the bottom of the page, to which the pupils themselves may occasionally be referred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Grammar of the English Language Order of instruction, Shepherd's Elementary Grammar of the English Language, the same general plan being ad hered to in each. N o pains have been spared to exclude all irrelevant material, to render definitions clear, concise, and accurate, and especially to admit only examples of pure English into the models and illustrations. Some of the general principles of comparative and historical grammar have been introduced, so that advanced pupils may at least begin the process of tracing the growth and development of the language, its changes of construction, the decay of old forms, the rise of modern idioms. The exercises in False Syntax have been designedly limited to a few under each rule, and to auch only as represent clear and palpable viola tions of English usage. Many of the examples inserted in most grammars, to be corrected as False Syntax, are in perfect accord with the usage of classic authors, - the aim of the grammarian in such cases being rather to establish a subjective standard of excellence than to acknowledge the authority of reputable writers, - the sole criterion of lingu istic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An English Grammar on Historical Principles There are few subjects of so abiding an interest to boys as the study of their mother tongue, and of the masterpieces in which the great dead still speak to willing ears; and yet, paradoxical as it may seem, if despair be ever pardonable to a form-master, it is when he contemplates the difficulties to be overcome in creating love and enthusiasm for English in senior pupils. The time assigned him for the purpose is generally inadequate; his pupils have almost invariably the so-called examination fiend stalking before them in various guises, and text-books which serve for one test are almost useless for another. Great as the obstacles are, they can be, and often are, successfully surmounted. 'The labour we delight in physics pain.' The interest of the boys once secured, the time-difficulty vanishes. In examinations we may prove to be entertaining angels unawares. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
