In this volume I have used, though sparingly, the terms suggested in the preface to volume II - re-formate (formate), ad-formate, transformate. These are applied to single words, as on p. 30, Kem. 1. When a word is modified by the analogy of another, it is said to be an ad-formate of it (p. 29, line 7 from the bottom, is an example). In its new shape it is transformed from the old , or a transformate of it (p. 44, footnote). Absolutely regarded, it is a re-formate (sometimes, where there can be no mistake, the simple word formate stands). Re-formation and transformationare used when not single words, but groups, come in question (as p. 90, line 6 from bottom); also when certain sound changes are exemplified by the words cited (as the z in sibunzo ahtozo, p. 40). These terms may by ugly, but they are so very convenient that their ugliness will, it is hoped, be forgiven. In such words as Pali, Prakrit, Gathic the quantity has not always been marked. It seemed needless to do so when this had been indicated often enough to ensure its being remembered. The word polysyllable is used to include dissyllables, unless otherwise implied. I had hoped to get out this volume by Christmas last. The delay is due partly to the waste of time in sending proofs to and fro from Germany, and partly to the almost ceaseless pressure of other duties. Mr. Conway's criticism and advice has been very useful all through, and I take the opportunity of thanking him for it.

This book was released on 2014-09-13 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the TRANSLATORS' PREFACE. IN the two years that haye followed the translation of the First Volume of the Grundriss der vergleichenden Sprachwissenschaft by Dr. (now Professor) Joseph Wright, the difficulty of the task has sensibly diminished. The methods and the nomenclature of the scientific school of Comparative Philology have found their way more and more into the work of English teachers, and it has become far easier to decide what innovations can, and what cannot be reconciled with established usage. Such words, for example, as 'thematic', 'ablaut', 'analogical', 'contamination, 'proethnic' are completely naturalised. The last we have universally adopted as the clearest equivalent of the German ur- prefixed to the name of a group of languages: 'proethnic Greek' is Greek older than the rise of its various dialects; 'proethnic Indo-Germanic', or more simply where there is no ambiguity, 'the proethnic language' is the parent of the various families of Indo-Germanic speech.... * * * * * From the INTRODUCTION - DEFINITION OF THE SCIENCE OF THE INDO-GERMANIC LANGUAGES, AND THE DIVISION OP THE INDO-GERMANIC FAMILY INTO ITS VARIOUS BRANCHES. § 1. The science of the Indg. languages forms, like Indg. Mythology, a section of Indg. 'Philology , i. e. of that science, which has to investigate the intellectual development of the Indg. peoples from the time before their separation up to the present day. Its method accordingly is historical and its task is to investigate the whole development of the Indg. languages from the time when they were still one language down to the present day. Its unity is in no sense broken by the results furnished by the specialists in Sanskrit, Ancient and Modern Greek, Latin and the Romance languages, Keltic etc., for the sciences of the Indian languages, of Ancient and Mod. Greek etc. are integral components of the grand whole formed by that of the Indo-Germanic. It is true that the so called comparative science of language has hitherto been almost exclusively confined to the older periods of the Indg. languages, but this is due to the division of labour which was involved in the method by which alone progress could be made, as well as to the limitations of human strength. Probably the same division of labour will still be necessary, but it implies no real opposition between the different parts of the science....

This book was released on 2014-09-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. IN the treatment of Phonetics and Morphology in this work, so many words are cited along with parallels and words etymologically connected, that the book may be used to this extent in the study of etymology. To this end the Index of Words has been compiled, including as it does more than mere grammatical forms. I would also observe that I have somewhat departed from the usual methods of such indices, because very few of those who use it will be equally at home in all the languages therein contained, and many may look for words out of a language whose paradigms are not familiar to them. For the Index of Matters two limitations have been set. If it contained all the processes described, in the same detail as we find in the indices to our periodicals, or in any other conceivable form, not only would this have taken up much space, but what is more to the point, it would have been hardly easier to find one's way about by means of the index than can be done by aid of the very full Table of Contents to Volume I. I have therefore, with certain few exceptions, excluded the processes of sound change. On the other hand, the idea of giving all the examples of Analogy in all its kinds was given up, chiefly for lack of space. The headings given are those only which tlie student is most likely to look for, such as Popular Etymology, Assimilation of Opposites, and the like. In these last I have had much help from lists of the examples for Analogical Re-formation, given in Vols. I and II, which where compiled by my pupil E. Kleinhans, and very kindly placed at my disposal.
