The bite-sized pieces are grouped together in thematically arranged sections, to allow the reader to dip in and out at will, and cover a wide range of topics, from the etymology of words, to illuminating pieces on grammar.

Download or read book Grammatical Theory in Western Europe 1500 1700 Trends in Vernacular Grammar 1 written by G. A. Padley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1985-01-31 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a companion volume to Dr Padley's monograph, Grammatical Theory in Western Europe 1500-1700: the Latin tradition (CUP 1976). This volume deals with the early grammar of the five main European languages - English, French, German, Italian and Spanish - and is the first to treat West European vernacular grammatical theory as a whole. Dr Padley traces the links and the tensions between this vernacular work and the underlying Latin tradition and shows the distortions to which the Latin model gave rise. He also gives the larger pedagogical and cultural context: the rise of Ramism, the shifting relationships between logic, rhetoric and grammar, the influence of seventeenth-century rationalism and empiricism through such agencies as the Royal Society, and the spread of various theories of universal grammar.
Download or read book Common European Framework of Reference for Languages written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2001-02-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common European Framework provides a common basis for the elaboration of language syllabuses, curriculum guidelines, examinations, textbooks, etc. across Europe. It describes in a comprehensive way what language learners have to learn to do in order to use a language for communication and what knowledge and skills they have to develop so as to be able to act effectively. The description also covers the cultural context in which language is set. The Framework also defines levels of proficiency which allow learners’ progress to be measured at each stage of learning and on a life-long basis. This restructured version of the Common European Framework of reference for language learning, teaching and assessment represents the latest stage in a process which has been actively pursued since 1971 and owes much to the collaboration of many members of the teaching profession across Europe and beyond. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages
Download or read book Grammatical Theory in Western Europe 1500 1700 written by G. A. Padley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-06-09 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final part of the late Professor Padley's comprehensive opus on grammatical theory in Western Europe, 1500-1700. 'Trends in Vernacular Grammer 1' (CUP 1985) dealt with the early grammars of the five European languages, and the tension between them and the underlying Latin tradition they share. This complementary volume investigates grammars written by authors who followed the dictates of usage and took account of the inevitable variations introduced by vernacular speakers. The author covers the Vaugelas school in France, the early Latinizing grammars, and the rhetorically oriented Italian grammars which were caught up in the 'questione della lingua' debate. The relationship between the purist's and the pragmatist's approach to language is explored through an analysis of the different attitudes displayed by grammarians, who saw in the invention of printing an unprecedented chance to establish uniform grammatical usage.

In official documents, the name "euro" must be used for the nominative singular in all languages, though different alphabets are taken into account and plural forms and declensions are accepted. In documents other than EU legal texts, including national legislation, other spellings are accepted according to the various grammatical rules of the respective language. For European Union legislation, the spelling of the words for the currency is prescribed for each language; in the English-language version of European Union legislation the forms "euro" and "cent" are used invariantly in the singular and plural, even though this departs from usual English practice for currencies. the language is an official language in a Eurozone member state. partitive singular. Most languages use a plural or immutable singular with numbers, but Estonian and Finnish use the partitive case. Welsh follows numerals with the singular form of the noun. English, Turkish and Swedish are marked by the sign of Euro because they are official languages of Eurozone...

Download or read book An Introduction to Grammar for Language Learners written by Don Ringe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning a foreign language is much easier when it is approached with a knowledge of language structure ('grammar'), but many students find grammar mystifying. This text explains points of grammar straightforwardly using examples from several widely-studied languages, including English, so that students can see how the same principles work across different languages, and how the structures of different languages correspond both formally and functionally. The use of concrete examples makes grammar less abstract and easier to grasp, allowing students to relate what they are learning to knowledge that they already possess unconsciously; it simultaneously brings that knowledge up to a conscious level.
