Excerpt: ... for no other Reason than that the Bell- Weather took the Leap before them t And yet the greater Part of our pretended Improvements in Literature are little else than a careless Repetition of what others have faid as carelefly before us. Sect. ix. Of the Number Diversity, and proper Use of Accents. To set this Affair of Accent in a true Light it will be necessary to throw aside entirely the Ideas usually annexed to the Term by those who have treated of the learned Languages, and to consider it simply, as we experience its Effects in the English. It is from a due Observance of these Effects, that I will venture to lay dowri the following Rules, the Truth of which (however contrary to common Opinion) I hope sufficiently to illustrate by Examples ist. That Accents in English is neither the Tone of an articulate Voice nor simply the Time taken up in the Utterance of it; nor merely the Force or Loud i Loudness of such Voicebut the whole Momentum or Quantity of Sound emit ted to produce iti 2. That Syllables, being accented as variously as the Measures of their Length and Force can be combined, and the Measures of Syllables being considered as long, neutral and Jhort, there are two capital Distinctions in the Mode of accenting Syllables, vtZi the loud and the soft: The former belonging to Jhort Syllables, the latter to long ones. 3 That Words of more than one Syllable are not confined to a single Accent; nor Words of any Number of Syllables to a ruling one; even those of two Syllables having frequently two equal Accents; the one loud and short, the other soft and long. 4. That hence Syllables may be equally ac cented, though one of them be pronounced softly, and the other loud, provided the former be proportionably longer in Utterance than the...

Download or read book Eighteenth Century Manners of Reading written by Eve Tavor Bannet and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The market for print steadily expanded throughout the eighteenth-century Atlantic world thanks to printers' efforts to ensure that ordinary people knew how to read and use printed matter. Reading is and was a collection of practices, performed in diverse, but always very specific ways. These practices were spread down the social hierarchy through printed guides. Eve Tavor Bannet explores guides to six manners or methods of reading, each with its own social, economic, commercial, intellectual and pedagogical functions, and each promoting a variety of fragmentary and discontinuous reading practices. The increasingly widespread production of periodicals, pamphlets, prefaces, conduct books, conversation-pieces and fictions, together with schoolbooks designed for adults and children, disseminated all that people of all ages and ranks might need or wish to know about reading, and prepared them for new jobs and roles both in Britain and America.

Download or read book A History of the Cultural Travels of Energy written by Peter Hjertholm and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a cultural history of the travels of energy in the English language, from its origins in Aristotle’s ontology, where it referred to the activity-of-being, through its English usage as a way to speak about the inherent nature of things, to its adoption as a name for the mechanics of motion (capacity for work). A distinguished literature deals with energy as matter of science history. But this literature fails to adequately answer a historical question about the rise of the science of energy: How did the commonplace word ‘energy’ end up becoming a concept in science? This account differs in important ways from the history of the word in the Oxford English Dictionary. Discovering the origins and early travels of energy is essential for understanding how the word was borrowed into physics, and therefore a cultural history of energy is a necessary companion to the science history of the term. It is important that modern scholars in a variety of fields be aware that energy did not always have a scientific content. The absence of that awareness can lead to, have led to, anachronistic interpretations of energy in historical sources from before the 1860s. A History of the Cultural Travels of Energy will be useful for those interested in the history of science and technology, cultural history, and linguistics.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of British Poetry 1660 1800 written by Jack Lynch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the poetry published in Britain between the Restoration and the end of the eighteenth century, forty-four authorities from six countries survey the poetry of the age in all its richness and diversity—serious and satirical, public and private, by men and women, nobles and peasants, whether published in deluxe editions or sung on the streets. The contributors discuss poems in social contexts, poetic identities, poetic subjects, poetic form, poetic genres, poetic devices, and criticism. Even experts in eighteenth-century poetry will see familiar poems from new angles, and all readers will encounter poems they've never read before. The book is not a chronologically organized literary history, nor an encyclopaedia, nor a collection of thematically related essays; rather it is an attempt to provide a systematic overview of these poetic works, and to restore it to a position of centrality in modern criticism.

Download or read book Eighteenth Century English written by Raymond Hickey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth century was a key period in the development of the English language, in which the modern standard emerged and many dictionaries and grammars first appeared. This book is divided into thematic sections which deal with issues central to English in the eighteenth century. These include linguistic ideology and the grammatical tradition, the contribution of women to the writing of grammars, the interactions of writers at this time and how politeness was encoded in language, including that on a regional level. The contributions also discuss how language was seen and discussed in public and how grammarians, lexicographers, journalists, pamphleteers and publishers judged on-going change. The novel insights offered in this book extend our knowledge of the English language at the onset of the modern period.
