Download or read book Notes on English Etymology written by Walter W. Skeat and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on English Etymology: Chiefly Reprinted From the Transactions of the Philological Society It will be understood that most of the etymological notes, as here reprinted, were more or less novel at the time of their appearance, or were taken from sources which were then new. In order to enable the curious to test the chronology in any given case, I have added the approximate date of publication at or near the end of each article, using 82, 85, &c., by way of abbreviation for 1882, 1885, &c. See pp. 1 - 2 for the exact list. Many of the notes here given have been adopted by later writers of dictionaries, and have appeared, for example, in the Century Dictionary (1889 - 91) and in the new edition of Webster I do not say that the editors of these works did not, in some cases at least, obtain similar results for themselves independently, for I have been informed that this sometimes happened I merely say that they had access to much of the material here given, and had my permission to make use of it. This at once explains a large number of the instances in which, for example, the new edition of Webster agrees with me as to results which nowhere appeared in the old edition of 1864. At p. 274, l. 3, I note, for example, that the old edition of Webster gives the wrong explanation of reply, whereas the edition of 1890 is correct. The date of my article (see p. 274, last line but one) is 1888. The same is true of the next article but one, that on some. Wherever I have myself been consciously indebted to others, I have endeavoured to say so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Brief Historical Outline of English Literature written by Jeannette Augustus Marks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Historical Outline of English Literature: From the Origins to the Close of the Eighteenth Century This brief outline of the history of English Literature is intended simply for class use. The bibliographical refer ence is made largely with the Mt. Holyoke College Library in mind, and with the hope that the shelf numbers may [lighten the difficulties of looking for books when a student wishes to save all the time for reading. The aim has been not to multiply the numbers of authorities, historical and critical, and the number of authors proper, but to diminish them so far as the subject permitted, thus simplifying the work of the student. The Special Topics, too, have been limited. It has not been an easy task to do this, as subjects of interest in any period are countless, and to select wisely an impossibility. It is hoped, however, that both Bibliographical Reference, in which Miss Bertha E. Blakely has given invaluable assist ance, and Special Topics may prove not only helpful in an Historical Outline Course, but also an incentive to further work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Etymology, Vol. 1 In the present edition, the original text is printed entire, with no change but the correction of perhaps half a dozen errors of the press and the trans fer of the articles composing the Appendix to their proper places in the alphabet. My additions consist of notes upon a considerable number of words, a list of which is given at the end of this preface. These notes are inclosed in brackets and signed with the initial M. My observations, as will be seen, are confined almost wholly to historical derivation, and I have attempted little in the way of conjectural deduction from imitative sounds, from the supposed natural significance of primary consonantal combinations, or from the analogies of ancient and remote languages not' actually known to have contributed directly to the composition of the English vocabulary.

Download or read book An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language Classic Reprint written by Alexander Macbain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a reader who loves learning about language and the meaning and origin of words, then An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language will delight your senses.This book was the first etymological dictionary of Gaelic, and in the Preface, Alexander Macbain writes that his dictionary is the purest distillation of Scottish Gaelic, purged of all the Irish words which found their way into the lexicon. The dictionary, which contains 6,900 words, is a thorough summary of Scottish Gaelic. Over two-thirds of the words derive from native Gaelic or Celtic, with around 20 percent of the words borrowed from other languages. The dictionary breaks down this information so that it is easy to understand, for example, "sinteag" means "to skip, or pace" which is derived from Gaelic "sun"; the word was added to English as "shindig." For an example of a non-Gaelic origin, try "brisg" the Gaelic word meaning "lively," which is derived from the Scandinavian and in English would be "brisk." Macbain outlines Gaelic etymology by putting the language in the context of its group. The Celtic group was once comprised of Welsh, Cornish, Breton, Irish, Manx and Gaelic, and these six languages are divided into Britannic and Gaelic subgroups. The primary reason for the division is the velar guttural, symbolized by "g." The book traces the difference in the meaning and pronunciation of words which begins with this language division. Alexander Macbain was a teacher, historian, philologist and scholar of Celtic mythology. His writing style communicates a large volume of information in an easily digestible way. Macbain was a prolific writer, and An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language is his most enduring book and language lovers will return to this volume often.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of English Speech and Literature: An Outline of the Origin and Growth of the Language, With Chapters on the Influence of the Bible, the Value of the Dictionary, and the Use of the Grammar in the Study of the English Tongue To acquire a knowledge of the essentials of English speech and literature is an accomplishment which should commend itself to all who speak the English tongue. From the point of view of this book, these essentials are indicated by the following questions: (1) How did the language come into being? (2) Who was responsible for its origin? (3) What changes have taken place in its orthographical development? (4) To whom is this development due? (5) Through what media has it been attained? (6) What were the refining influences that have brought it through its crude original forms to the plastic medium for expressing thought which we have to-day? To present these essentials in concrete form is the purpose of this book, which records the chief facts concerning the historical and ethnological development of the language, and which shows, by illustrative examples from different periods, the progress made therein. Therefore, the aim has been: (1) To trace the evolution of English speech. (2) To describe the development and growth of English literature. (3) To direct attention to mutations in English orthography and syntax. To this end the following pages combine the history of the English language with that of English literature to the time of Milton, whose orthographic and syntactical forms approximate closely to our own. It tells, in brief, the story of the language from the dawn of civilization in Britain practically to our time, so that the reader may be said to have before him a conspectus of the different stages of assimilation through which it has passed.

Download or read book A Study of English Words Classic Reprint written by Jessie MacMillan Anderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Study of English Words is a study of the growth of the English language. Anderson's book is not a dictionary or an examination of grammatical principles, but rather a detailed examination of the English language and the changes it had undergone as of the late nineteenth century. The book opens with a chapter on the defining principals of language development in which Anderson outlines his belief in the importance of etymology. The book then proceeds to examine the major changes that English words have undergone, focusing primarily on the external influences that have caused these changes. Individual chapters are devoted to Greek, Latin, and French elements in English, the artist's and scientist's use of words, the ever expanding list of synonyms for English words, and several other topics. While the author states in his preface that the book is intended as a textbook, A Study of English Words is surprisingly devoid of any review questions. Anderson's book is a thorough and competent examination of the growth of the English language. The author has appropriately identified the major forces that influence change in the language, and has effectively highlighted these changes. While the book can seem dry at times, Anderson's concise language ensures the major teaching points are never obstructed. A Study of English Words is a book that will appeal to the true English-language enthusiast. Those fascinated by the development of language will find this to be an informative and worthwhile read.

Download or read book Culturgeschichtliche Novellen written by W. H. Riehl and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.
