Download or read book Interlingua Grammar and Method Second Edition written by Stanley A. Mulaik and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the international vocabulary while learning a language based on it with a simple English-like grammar and vocabulary, Interlingua. The international vocabulary consists of the thousands of words with similar forms and the same meanings shared by the major European languages due to the influence of Latin (both Classical and Vulgar) and the Romance languages, which descended from Latin. It represents the objective rendition of the major common lexical heritage of the European languages. It could be an auxiliary language of the European Union, the Western Hemisphere, and other nations speaking English or the Romance languages. This book is a complete treatment of Interlingua, from grammar, vocabulary, word formation and analysis, to a detailed treatment of the objective methods used by professional linguists to extract and standardize the international vocabulary as an objective, external reality. Numerous texts in Interlingua are included along with a translation from the Italian of a segment of Boccaccio's account of the Black Plague in his Decamerone. Examples are given how the objective methodology can correct some errors of earlier linguists who worked on Interlingua's development. The book also uses that objective methodology to solve the problem of the grammatical particles produced when the original developers used a flawed study to find them and then abandoned that methodology altogether in providing a complete list of Latin particles and a potpourri of particles taken from previously constructed languages, leaving users of interlingua to their own subjective devices to choose from. The book provides an appendix of a complete list of over 185 particles and their objective grounding in the Romance languages, which are the only possible source for a set of particles methodologically coherent with the rest of the vocabulary. Because Interlingua is a simplified Romance language, which includes English, you will be able to write in Interlingua in the Web and most speakers of Romance languages will understand you. And you will discover that, knowing Interlingua, you can also read books, newspaper articles, and blogs in the Romance languages with often very good comprehension. So, learn Interlingua and increase your word power! The book includes two glossaries of 3,248 words, along with a complete table of contents and an exhaustive index. This edition also includes references supporting various assertions throughout the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interlingua is a language developed by the International Auxiliary Language Association between 1939 and 1951 based on the international vocabulary in the major European languages and a minimal grammar for its use. The international vocabulary is the thousands of words having similar forms and the same meanings in at least three "source languages." These are English, French, Italian, Spanish/Portuguese and German and Russian, chosen because they lend extensively vocabulary to other languages, are heavy borrowers from other languages, or descend from a common source, which in this case is Latin or Vulgar Latin. There are thousands of international words. The forms of the words are objectively determined as the historic or theoretical ancestors nearest to all their modern variants, known as the prototypes. Because in most cases the prototypes are either Classical or Vulgar Latin, Interlingua is a kind of modern Latin with a vastly simpler, English-like grammar for westerners today. But other languages have contributed to the international vocabulary. Interlingua can be read at sight by most speakers of Romance languages, so Interlingua can be used as a bridge to the Romance languages. Because word formation in Interlingua is Latin in form, the thousands of Latin words in English are very similar to those in Interlingua. But Interlingua provides in most cases the Latin roots as ordinary verbs which are missing in English and non-Romance languages. Learning these verbs by using them in language opens up the ability to analyze meanings of Latin words both in English and Interlingua by using roots and affixes in Interlingua which are similar to those in English words. Those who learn Interlingua find that they can read Romance languages often with considerable understanding. And they have an increased vocabulary in English. So Interlingua is a means to greater word power in English and Romance languages. Interlingua is an excellent substitute for studying Latin if the main aim is to understand Latin words in English. The book introduces the reader to the simple grammar of Interlingua and also describes in greater detail, than any previous source, using numerous worked examples, the methods by which the international words were determined by objective methods. Each chapter of the book is accompanied by texts in Interlingua, both to read and to translate. In the chapters there is a piece on Alexander the Great from MacGuffey's Reader, stories of school children visiting a museum, of families in their homes and at restaurants, of friends going shopping together, of people working together in a typical business, poker games on trans-Atlantic ocean-liners, a couple running out of gas, dealing with mechanics at a garage, and making an appointment with a doctor and visiting the doctor. Chapter 8 is a translation by the author into Interlingua from the Italian of Boccaccio's Introduction to the Decameron, which concerns the Black Death that struck Florence in the early 14th Century. There are also exercises at the end of chapters covering topics in the chapter. There are also brief texts in English to translate into Interlingua. Translating from English to Interlingua is an exellent and rapid way to learn Interlingua. At the back of the book are two glossaries of 3248 words for translating from Interlingua to English or English to Interlingua. The words chosen in these glossaries are the most common in English and Interlingua. Because of the similarity of Interlingua's grammar to that of English, the author introduces in each chapter first the explanation of a grammatical concept like nouns, pronouns, conjunctions, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, participles, tenses, moods, aspect and prepositions as these apply to English, and then provides descriptions of how the concept is similarly applicable in Interlingua. The book has an extensive Table of Contents and Index.
