Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical English Grammar, and Business Correspondence: For Use in Business Colleges, Normal and High Schools, and Advanced Classes in the Public Schools This book is designed to afford such knowledge of the construction of the English language as will render the pupils utterances, whether vocal or written, practically faultless; and also to provide him important aid in securing knowledge of, and facility in conducting business correspondence. All pupils in the higher grades of schools have considerable familiarity with the construction of the language - many a critical knowledge; yet nearly all are habitually given to mistakes in its use which do injustice to the training they have received, and which fix upon them a character for ignorance of simple yet important facts, with which their education was designed to render them familiar. Such lapses, while very conspicuous, are less in number than the casual observer would suppose, even in the most illiterate, as the vocabulary and set expressions of every person are limited. The correction of a few errors in the most ignorant persons use of the language would virtually correct his speech. It is not claimed that either subject has been exhausted, as the mission of the book is to teach only those features of grammar that are of the greatest importance, and which may be acquired within a reasonable period of time; and to afford such hints regarding the manner of conducting correspondence as will, if practiced, result in creditable business letters.

Download or read book Language Between Description and Prescription written by Lieselotte Anderwald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Between Description and Prescription is an empirical, quantitative and qualitative study of nineteenth-century English grammar writing, and of nineteenth-century language change. Based on 258 grammar books from Britain and North America, the book investigates whether grammar writers of the time noticed the language changing around them, and how they reacted. In particular, Lieselotte Anderwald demonstrates that not all features undergoing change were noticed in the first place, those that were noticed were not necessarily criticized, and some recessive features were not upheld as correct. The features investigated come from the verb phrase and include in particular variable past tense forms, which -although noticed-often went uncommented, and where variation was acknowledged; the decline of the be-perfect, where the older form (the be-perfect) was criticized emphatically, and corrected; the rise of the progressive, which was embraced enthusiastically, and which was even upheld as a symbol of national superiority, at least in Britain; the rise of the progressive passive, which was one of the most violently hated constructions of the time, and the rise of the get-passive, which was only rarely commented on, and even more rarely in negative terms. Throughout the book, nineteenth-century grammarians are given a voice, and the discussions in grammar books of the time are portrayed. The book's quantitative approach makes it possible to examine majority and minority positions in the discourse community of nineteenth-century grammar writers, and the changes in accepted opinion over time. The terms of the debate are also investigated, and linked to the wider cultural climate of the time. Although grammar writing in the nineteenth century was very openly prescriptivist, the studies in this book show that many prescriptive dicta contained interesting grains of descriptive detail, and that eventually prescriptivism had only a small-scale, short-term effect on the actual language used.

Download or read book An Annotated Bibliography of Nineteenth century Grammars of English written by Manfred Görlach and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 19th century, education became accessible to much wider circles of society in a great number and variety of schools and the teaching of grammar came to be obligatory from 1870/72 with the advent of general education. Whereas these general trends of the 19th century are well-known to scholars working in different disciplines of social history, and the history of education in particular, it is still true that major sections of the evidence are largely uncollected. This is especially so for school books: there is virtually a gap between the 18th century and the present grammatical tradition. This bibliography lists some 1930 works on English grammar published in the 19th century, mainly in Britain and the US, half of which are accompanied by short descriptions of their physical make-up, content and affiliation.
