This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Spelling and Spelling Reform The subject Of spelling reform is not, strictly Speaking, a soul-stirring one, nor is any possible treatment Of it likely to contribute to the gayety Of nations. If any Of the chapters contained in the present volume be Of the slightest in terest in itself, that on the orthographic situa tion is assuredly not the one. On the other hand, if there be anything Of value in the work, that same chapter has, as I look at it, far the most value. There is in it, indeed, nothing original. The numerous facts it contains are to be found scattered up and down the pages Of various volumes - particularly in the intro ductions to the larger dictionaries, and in orthographic and orthoepic essays produced at various periods. But SO far as I know, this is the first attempt ever made to collect and com bine and, above all, to put in a form, easily com prehensible by the general reader, the widely scattered facts which go to Show the precise character and characteristics Of English orthog raphy, and to bring out with distinctness the real nature Of the deep-seated disease under which it labors. At all events, Whether or not I have been anticipated in the presentation Of these facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Spelling Reform At this point I pause awhile, in order to point out two great advantages that would certainly result from the introduction of even such small instalments of spelling reform as those to which I have just drawn attention. The first is that these partial reforms would necessarily involve the disuse of a large number of useless letters. In this way more matter would be got into a page, and some labour in the composi tion of the type would be saved; and as this would happen in every case, whether the book be small or great, it might very easily save every printer and publisher a considerable sum of money. It would not be surprising if the aggregate saving, in the course of a year, throughout the British Empire, were to amount to some thousands of pounds. Every one would gain by it; the writer would have fewer letters to write, the printer would have fewer to print, and the reader would have fewer to spell and read. Many ambiguities would disappear, and the written record would exhibit a closer approximation to the sounds which it professes to represent. The second is that the task of learning to read would be consider ably simplified, and the time taken to achieve that task would be considerably shortened, to the equal delight and profit both of teacher and pupil. In this case there can be no doubt at all that the sums thus saved to the nation would be very considerable.

Download or read book Principles of Spelling Reform Classic Reprint written by F. Sturges Allen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Spelling Reform In all these cases any attempt to conform the spelling to the established pronunciation of these words would not only be impractical, but would nul lify the effect for which the suffixes have been created. Invariability of form and of the suggested meaning teaches the mind to neglect the sound and depend upon visual impression alone for the thought. This has created a definite consciousness of the meanings of visible word elements, and the mere general form of the suffix is sufficient to indicate to the reader the particular sense conveyed by the word. This is one of the most extraordinary phases of the developments of modern English. The classification, in lists, of suffixes and prefixes in the schoolbooks for the teach ing of language has become nearly universal, and the child is taught that a certain group of letters occurring in a word indicates a certain idea or group of ideas. The consciousness of this may become so definite that we write of isms, doxies, ologies, and anas. But it is not alone suflfxes and prefixes that vary in pronunciation while the form and sense remain the same. Whole compound words so vary. Thus, in the word geography the o in the accented syllable is distinctly o as in not; but in the derivative geog graphical, the 0 assumes a new value. Yet the consciousness of this alteration is entirely absent in reading; and any calling of the attention to it would undoubtedly interfere with the intelligibility of the word as a symbol of an idea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Spelling Reform We may further note here that in many other positions where the conventional long sounds of the vowels are supposed to be regularly used we frequently find the short ones. Thus, if we have change and range, we have also flange paste and waste have caste for an ill-assorted fellow bind and pint must keep company with wind and mint; toll and droll with doll; while torn, port, and most are readily confronted with corn, short, and cost. Thus no certain means are provided in thousands of cases to mark whether a vowel-sign represents the conventional long or the short sound, quite different in nature as those sounds are, and the spelling-books only partially surmount the difficulty by adopting a plan of syllabication which is often in conflict with etymology and phonetics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Need and Availability of the Writing and Spelling Reform: A Lecture But education is not merely school instruo tion - it is not alone cramming of ancient lore - stuflin g of venerable history - study of science and philosophy. It begins before the period at which the school law allows children to testthe J ob like virtue of teachers in school/rooms. The teacher has a high and noble calling, with, indeed, proud and weighty responsibility. That American teachers know this responsibil ity Is evidenced not alone in the intelligence of pupils, who remember them with gratitude, but also in the fact that a large number of the most influential political teachers in our state and national councils were in early life humble In structors in district schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneer of Simplified Spelling, Vol. 6: February, 1918 As my acquaintance with phonography grew, and my ardour and love for the Phonetic Journal increased, my correspondence with Sir Isaac Pitman enlarged beyond the ordinary exchanges of a publishing house. I investigated his proposals concerning phonography and Spelling reform, for his mind was ever active to the very end, and I made suggestions which, Oftener than not, he bowled out of court. He was a tough reformer to overcome. His orders were short and inflexible, Test for a week, and report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common School Spelling Book American school children, from the descendants of the early colonists to the little immigrants of today, come from many races. These races do not attach the same sounds to the letters of the English alphabet. But if American chil dren may see in the pages of their first spelling book the usual combinations of English sounds in words, if they are made to feel the strength and beauty and natural growth of these words, they will develop instinctively a kind of language patriotism. They will come to know that the languages of their parents are represented just as truly in the structure of the English language as their races are rep resented in the American people. These different race-elements in our language have brought with them their conflicting systems of spelling. Nevertheless, in spite of this conflict, the majority of Eng lish words are fairly regular in spelling; that is, they are spelled according to rational principles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Simplification of English Spelling: Specially Adapted for the Rising Generation, an Easy Way of Saving Time in Writing, Printing, and Reading Men of middle age shrink from the idea of having to begin and learn another, and more complex, form of alphabet. They tremble at the very thought of having to commence a course of spelling anew. They even, to a certain extent, dread the prospect of having their visual organs offended by the abnormal appearance which a new form of words is likely to present. These objections, though they may appear trifling when looked at individually, will nevertheless, We fear, be ascertained to be formidable obstructive agents in the way of orthographical reform when they exert their influence collectively. Let them be eradicated from the public mind, and the path to Spelling Reform would at once be open. Now comes the question, - How is this desirable object to be attained?
