Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grammar of Elocution The following work is an attempt to systematise the study of elocution by furnishing such a collection of facts and rules as may enable a learner both to read and speak with propriety. The numerous evidences of the importance attached by the Greeks and Romans to. Elocution compel us to believe that men must in the classical ages have regarded it as an accomplishment capable of being systematically learnt and taught. Yet no great time has elapsed since this apparently obvious truth was denied, and elocution regarded, as Dogberry regarded reading and writing, as a gift of nature, to be improved perhaps in some vague way by practice, but unworthy of being considered an art. This idea is gradually losing ground, but still lives, for were it not so, how would it be possible for so many men, whose business it is to read and speak effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Language and Its Grammar In view of such a necessity in high and normal schools, the author combines in this book the history and derivation of English forms of speech with an analysis of the language and its functions. If the technical terms (which are employed because only by them can the science of language he presented) are mastered in the beginning, the student will find no difficulty in following the author's method to'the end. It will be easy to trace the logical consistency of the language with itself, and the harmony of its develop ment, which together give our glorious English tongue its expansive and expressive power. It will also be ap parent how this language has been able to subordinate all the accidents of an increasing vocabulary to the normal functions of a generous and flexible continuity of life. While this book is especially designed for normal and training schools and teacher-training classes in high schools, it is hoped that it will be found. Valuable as a means of self-help to large numbers of teachers who are striving to secure a better preparation for their work. It is thought that it is also well adapted for use in the summer schools which are now so prominent a fea ture of the educational work of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Tell the Parts of Speech: An Introduction to English Grammar The conviction that any child can be taught how to tell the Parts of Speech in any sentence that he can under stand, has induced me to publish this little book. I believe that a very young child may be taught, almost without knowing that heis being taught, first to classify English words according to their function in the sentence, and then to infer the nature of each word from its function or, as a child would put it, to tell you first what the word does, and then what Part of Speech the word is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Working Grammar of the English Language: Designed to Give in Simple Statement the Principles and Methods of Correct English Speech and Writing Grammar is the treatment of words in their relations as used for the expression of thought. There is no grammar of a mere list of words as given, for instance, in a dictionary. Grammar does not con sider words except as used in connection with other words to express some meaning beyond that of the individual words. Words as used for the expression of thought are divided into classes called Parts of Speech. A combination of words expressing a complete thought, as, Man needs food, is called a Sentence. Hence Grammar may appropriately be taught and studied under two divisions, viz. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is prepared by the mechanical discipline which the voice undergoes during the training of the first part, to encounter the task which would otherwise have seemed so formidable. It is true that carelessness of pronunciation, incorrect utterance, hurried and imperfect articulation, and gene ral misuse of the physical organ of voice, are the faults which first meet the ear, and stand out prominent among the defects of common Speech and bad reading; and these are indeed the vices which must be attacked at the outset; the reforming of which must engage the teacher from the very commencement of his instructions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grammar of the English Language Language is a growth, and, like every other growth, is primarily dependent upon an inward vital energy. It has its origin and its development in answer to an instinctive desire of the soul to express its thoughts and feelings. The power of speech is stimulated by the presence of external objects, and takes its actual form by means of an unconscious ability to imitate the vocal symbols which chance to be made the conventional representatives of thought. It matters not to what nation or people the child may belong: be he English, French, German, or Chinese, it is all the same. The speech which he hears in his childhood becomes his vernacular tongue, and all others are foreign. Place him among the cultivated and refined, and he employs, he knows not why, the pure and polished speech of his guardians and associates. On the contrary, let him fall among the rude and illiterate, and he as readily and as surely accepts for his native lan guage, his mother tongue, their perverted words and incorrect modes of expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Compend of English Grammar The unit of study in grammar is the sentence. It is true that grammar has much to say about words, but it deals with them only as elements of sentences. It is the function of a word in a sentence that determines what part of speech it is, and, if it is inflected, what form it shall take. As language is only the garment in which thought clothes itself, grammar has both a logical and a formal side. On the former, it deals with the various logical relations that underlie the sentence; on the latter, it deals with the external forms through which these relations are expressed. These forms differ in different languages. And in the same language at different periods; but the relations underlying them are universal and unchangeable. They are the basic facts of grammar. In our study of grammar, therefore, we shall proceed from the thought to the form in which, in the English lan guage, it embodies itself.
