Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises on Etymology The English tongue presents so great a variety of elements, that the study of its Etymology affords an acquaintance with many other languages, tending to familiarise the student not only with modern German - one branch of the same Teutonic family as that to which English belongs - but also with Greek and Latin - and with French, Spanish, and Italian, which the dead languages originally helped to form. Many efforts have been successfully made of late to render the access to Latin and Greek inviting to the pupil, by a knowledge of Latin roots existing in English words; but as yet little has been done in school-books to make the existence of Teutonic words in our language available for ascertaining the roots of Saxon-English words, and for familiarising the memory with the kindred words of the modern German. This want is attempted to be supplied in the present volume. But Etymology should have higher aims. It should exhibit the roots of a language which has long since ceased to be spoken; and, connecting these with those of other vanished tongues, lead to the recognition of a language the common parent of many others, and to the confirmation of the truth of one primitive language. Etymology should also point out the similar character of all lingual changes - a similarity arising from the common nature of man. These subjects have occupied the attention of eminent modern philologists; and in few departments of science or literature have such instructive discoveries been lately made as in those which concern the transmigration of languages. The Exercises and Extracts in this volume, therefore, have been so arranged, as to lay the basis of such habits of inquiry as will lead the learner into the right track of general, as well as of philological, investigation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises in Latin Etymology A conviction of this fact led the author of this small work, many years since, to prepare abook of Latin Exercises, adapt ed to the illustration of each division of Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar. That volume was arranged in such a manner as to be used with convenience from the time when the stu dent commenced the study of the Grammar; and, in connec tion with the Quest1ons adapted to the sarrie Grammar, was designed so to illustrate its leading principles, as to leave no doubt concerning their true intent and proper application. It is in such connection that those works have been generally used 1n the best schools of New England, and in this way only can the true value of either work be fairly estimated.

Download or read book New Word Analysis Or School Etymology of English Derivative Words written by William Swinton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Swinton's New Word Analysis, or School Etymology of English Derivative Words - With Practical Exercises is intended to be a resource guide and textbook for English language teachers and students. The focus of New Word Analysis is the deconstruction and etymology of selected words, with a focus on the Latin and Greek suffixes and prefixes. The book opens with an introduction to the English vocabulary, including an overview of the parts of speech and the etymological classes of words. Part two of the book is devoted to Latin influenced words, focusing specifically on Latin suffixes and prefixes, as well as a guide to the study of Latin derivatives. From Latin the book transitions to Greek, offering the same overview as the Latin section but now focused on words of Greek origin. Anglo-Saxon words are examined in detail in another section, and the book concludes with a section on miscellaneous derivatives. The book is intended as both a teaching guide and a textbook for students. Study exercises are presented throughout the book for students to apply the knowledge they have learned in previous lessons. Swinton has certainly provided the reader with a great deal of information in New Word Analysis. Rarely today is the English language taught in such a way as to break down various words and analyze their origin, and this is undoubtedly a valuable exercise. New Word Analysis, or School Etymology of English Derivative Words - With Practical Exercises is an informative and useful book. Containing a style rarely found today, a true wordsmith will enjoy Swinton's book and the deep analysis of the English language contained within.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of English Etymology The present volume is intended to serve as a help to the student of English etymology. In my Etymological Dictionary, the numerous examples of similar letter - changes are invariably separated from each other, by the necessity for adhering to the alphabetical order. It is therefore advisable to re-arrange the results so as to shew what words should be under consideration at the same time. It is only by a com parison of this character that the various phonetic laws can be properly observed and tested. I have found it advisable to follow the example of Mr. Sweet, in his History of English Sounds, and to consider what may be called the 'native element' of our language apart from the Romance or imported element. Hence I have purposely excluded all words of French origin from the present investigation. A few French words are quoted here and there by way of illustration, but no inferences are here drawn from the results which their history furnishes. If the present volume should meet with approval, I propose to issue another volume, to be entitled 'second Series, ' Which will deal particularly, and almost exclusively, with the words which have been imported into English from French, as well as from Latin, Greek, and other languages (except Teutonic and Celtic) af/er the N orman Conquest.

Download or read book The Model Etymology With Sentences written by A. C. Webb and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Model Etymology, With Sentences: Showing the Correct Use of Words; Giving the Analysis of English Words The importance of Words cannot be over-estimated. Education depends on a knowledge of the meaning and application of Words. Knowledge can be imparted and received only by the medium of words, correctly used and properly understood. The basis of a good education must be laid with words, well chosen, properly arranged, and firmly implanted in the mind. From the richness of the English Language, which gives many words to the same meaning, and many and diverse meanings to the same word, the proper use of a word cannot be deduced from its meaning. How, then, is the knowledge of the use of words to be imparted to children? Either by the teacher, or by conversation and reading. By the latter method, the knowledge acquired is limited in extent; and as it is entirely dependent on the power of observation, the impressions received are faint and ill-defined, and the conclusions arrived at frequently incorrect. No teacher would think of teaching Arithmetic, by simply imparting the Rules, and then leaving to the child their correct application. Yet, the practice of Arithmetic might possibly be left to such teaching, inasmuch as Arithmetic is an exact science based on fixed principles, from which correct reasoning must deduce correct results. But no reasoning can show to the child, who has learned "Deduce, to draw" that he must not say, "I tried to deduce the horse from the stable;" or, "Deciduous, falling." "The boy deciduous from the window, was killed." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Science of Etymology Classic Reprint written by Walter W. Skeat and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Etymology The object of the present volume is to draw attention to some of the principles that should guide the student of etymo logy in general, and of English etymology particularly; in order that any one who employs an etymological dictionary may be able to do so with some degree of intelligence and to some profit. It is much easier to accomplish this at the present date than it was some ten or twenty years ago. The steady progress of the New English Dictionary furnishes us with innumerable and indisputable instances of the actual usages of English words, so that the mistakes which formerly arose from a very imperfect knowledge of their history have largely been corrected, and much that was once obscure has been made plain. Meanwhile, the great gains that have resulted from the scientific study of comparative philology as applied to the Indo-germanic languages have been properly formulated and tabulated, to the explosion and exclusion of many hasty inferences that were both misleading and mischievous. It is now possible to introduce science where once there was little but guesswork. Such science is founded, as all science should be, upon the careful observation of the effects of well-ascertained laws.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eutropius, Books I and II: With Notes, Vocabulary, and Exercises W'hile quite agreeing in the use of dictionaries for upper forms, the Editors are of opinion that for small boys it causes great waste of time, and much mental confusion, without any corresponding advantage. As a rule boys cannot understand how a word can be used in more than one sense they take the first meaning given in the dictionary, and if it is not the meaning required by the context, so much the worse for the sense. When boys come to such an age that they are able to realize the necessity of making a fit choice, the working of the dictionary is no doubt a valuable mental exercise.
