Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yorksher Puddin': A Collection of the Most Popular Dialect Stories The last strain of the grand old Christmas hymn had just been warbled forth from the throats and hearts of a number of happy folks, who were seated around the blazing log one Christmas eve: and on the face of each one of that family circle the cheering light revealed the look of happiness; the young - happy in the present, and indulging in hopeful anticipations for the future; the old, - equally happy as the young, and revelling in many a darling memory of the past. "Come, Uncle John!" said a bright-eyed, flaxen-haired beauty, over whose head not mere than ten Christmas days had passed, - "Come, uncle, do tell us a story; you know that we always expect one from you."

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goodies and Other Stories in a Yorkshire Dialect One peculiarity of the district which is perhaps worthy of notice is that there seems to be a difficulty in pronouncing the th sound at the beginning and end of some words. The word three, for instance, often becomes tree, and throne be comes trone, with the suspicion of an effort in the pronunciation, and strength sometimes almost becomes strengt. But the difficulty is not always apparent. The word through, for instance, becomes throofi' with the proper th sound.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More English Fairy Tales Then as to using tales in Lowland Scotch, whereat a Saturday Reviewer, whose identity and fatherland were not difficult to guess, was so shocked. Scots a dialect of English! Scots tales the same as English! Horror and Philistinism! Was the Reviewer's outcry. Matter of fact, is my reply, which will only confirm him, I fear, in his convictions. Yet I appeal to him, why make a difference between tales told on different sides of the Border? A tale told in Durham or Cumberland in a dialect which only Dr. Murray could distinguish from Lowland Scotch, would on all hands be allowed to be English. The same tale told a few miles farther North, why should we refuse it the same qualification? A tale in Henderson is English: why not a tale in Chambers, the majority of whose tales are to be found also south of the Tweed?

He next goes on to the Kashubian, a rapidly perishing sub-dialect of Polish, and then to the Polish tongue itself.

Download or read book The Language Readers written by Joseph H. Wade and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language Readers: Fourth Reader In this reader frequent use has been made of the legends and folk stories of different nations, because the human interest in such stories appeals strongly to the child's mind. Fairy stories from Hans Christian Andersen and other sources have also been included, for this is the age when the child's enjoyment of the fairy tale has reached its zenith. Much has been accomplished in the education of the young when a desire to read has been aroused. But the reading must be select in content as well as literary in form; hence stories of patriotism and lessons with a direct ethical purpose have been included in this book. Such reading tends directly to the develop ment of character, and the ethical purpose in the lesson is best taught through the interest in the story.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coppe e and Maupassant Tales The call for an edition of Coppee and of Maupassant is exceedingly encouraging as a proof that modern-language study has developed, to its immense gain, within the past few years.

The stories of this little collection speak for themselves. Since present teaching so largely looks to increase of vocabulary as one of the most important and best results of its methods, the peculiarly prolific style of Coppee in this respect, and the clearness of statement of Maupassant, thus requiring clearness of translation, materially add value to the inherent interest of these Tales.
