Download or read book Phrasal Verbs written by Stefan Thim and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book traces the evolution of the English verb-particle construction (‘phrasal verb’) from Indo-European and Germanic up to the present. A contrastive survey of the basic semantic and syntactic characteristics of verb-particle constructions in the present-day Germanic languages shows that the English construction is structurally unremarkable and its analysis as a periphrastic word-formation is proposed. From a cross-linguistic and comparative perspective the Old English prefix verbs are identified as preverbs and the shift towards postposition of the particles is connected to the development of more general patterns of word order. The interplay of phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic factors in the loss of the native prefixes in the history of English is investigated. In this context the question is discussed to what extent the older prefixes were replaced by particles and borrowed prefixes, how the characteristic etymological and semantic properties of the Modern English phrasal verbs can be explained and what role they play in the lexicon. The author argues that their common perception as particularly ‘English’, ‘colloquial’ and ‘informal’ has its origin in the eighteenth-century normative tradition.

This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a detailed and comprehensive account of the development of phrasal verbs from early modern to present-day English, this study covers almost 400 years in the history of English, and provides both a diachronic and synchronic account based on over 12,000 examples extracted from stratified electronic corpora. The corpus analysis provides evidence of how registers can inform us about the history of English, as it traces and compares the usage and stylistic drifts of phrasal verbs across ten different genres - drama, fiction, journals, diaries, letters, medicine, news, science, sermons, and trial proceedings. The study also sheds new light on the morpho-syntactic and semantic features of phrasal verbs, proposing a new approach to the category, considering not only on their grammatical features, but also their historical development, by discussing the category in terms of a number of central mechanisms of language change.

Phrasal verbs are indispensable parts of the English language. They add a sense of fluency into spoken or written language and render it richer in terms of vocabulary. Knowing and using not all, but even the most common ones would make our English sound more natural. However, the difficult thing about phrasal verbs is to memorize them because, they may have some meanings which are completely irrelevant to their constituent parts. For this reason, we need to learn them by heart, which means “to memorize” them. Although it may sound hard to learn them in this way, using phrasal verbs in actual dialogs makes it easier to memorize them by creating a “match” on the cognitive level. If we support this with images as well, we may have a better chance to retain them in our memories permanently. This is exactly where this book steps in. You will find hundreds of dialogs presented in drawings where characters use phrasal verbs. A total of carefully selected 228 phrasal verbs are given with up to their 3 common definitions. Therefore, you will have to memorize neither the outdated phrasal verbs nor their barely used meanings. There are 38 units in the book, each of which contains 6 phrasal verbs given in an alphabetical order. There is an “Exercises” section at the end of every unit and two Revision Tests after every five units. You will also find a general revision test with 100 questions in the back of the book. This test consists of all the phrasal verbs in this book. You can reach the answers to the exercises by using the buttons below exercise pages. This book also contains links to the videos of each unit. These videos contain a broader explanation of the phrasal verbs and they offer 2-3-minute footages taken from various films where characters use the phrasal verbs presented in the relevant unit. The footages come with subtitles as well. You can reach these videos by using the buttons below pages. After looking at the drawings, reading the dialogs, watching the movie footages and doing the exercises, you won’t have any trouble keeping phrasal verbs in your long-term memory and using them in your own sentences. All you need to do is to make regular revisions, which is a must learning a new language. If you want to have this book as a hard copy with amounts over 100, please contact at [email protected]
