Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of English Etymology The present volume is intended to serve as a help to the student of English etymology. In my Etymological Dictionary, the numerous examples of similar letter - changes are invariably separated from each other, by the necessity for adhering to the alphabetical order. It is therefore advisable to re-arrange the results so as to shew what words should be under consideration at the same time. It is only by a com parison of this character that the various phonetic laws can be properly observed and tested. I have found it advisable to follow the example of Mr. Sweet, in his History of English Sounds, and to consider what may be called the 'native element' of our language apart from the Romance or imported element. Hence I have purposely excluded all words of French origin from the present investigation. A few French words are quoted here and there by way of illustration, but no inferences are here drawn from the results which their history furnishes. If the present volume should meet with approval, I propose to issue another volume, to be entitled 'second Series, ' Which will deal particularly, and almost exclusively, with the words which have been imported into English from French, as well as from Latin, Greek, and other languages (except Teutonic and Celtic) af/er the N orman Conquest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of English Etymology, Vol. 2: The Foreign Element Chapter XVI deals with the Portuguese element in the same way; and, at this point, my investigation of all words derived from Latin, whether directly or through the medium of some Romance language, is at last concluded. In Chapter XVII a new source is entered upon, viz. Greek; and I again take occasion to explain the probable pronunciation of ancient Greek, and the known pronunciation of modern Greek; with remarks upon the importance and value of the Greek system of accentuation. Here I once more trespass upon the domain of the classical Specialist; and, once more, I ask him to pardon it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Etymology The object of the present volume is to draw attention to some of the principles that should guide the student of etymology in general, and of English etymology particularly; in order that any one who employs an etymological dictionary may be able to do so with some degree of intelligence and to some profit. It is much easier to accomplish this at the present date than it was some ten or twenty years ago. The steady progress of the New English Dictionary furnishes us with innumerable and indisputable instances of the actual usages of English words, so that the mistakes which formerly arose from a very imperfect knowledge of their history have largely been corrected, and much that was once obscure has been made plain. Meanwhile, the great gains that have resulted from the scientific study of comparative philology as applied to the Indo-germanic languages have been properly formulated and tabulated, to the explosion and exclusion of many hasty inferences that were both misleading and mischievous. It is now possible to introduce science where once there was little but guesswork. Such science is founded, as all science should be, upon the careful observation of the effects of well-ascertained laws, which have been laboriously evolved from the comparison of innumerable forms of words in many languages. A large number of such laws can now be positively and safely relied upon, because they rest upon the sure foundations of a careful study of phonetics. This study enables us to concern ourselves with something that is far more valuable than written forms, viz. the actual sounds which the symbols employed in various languages actually represent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Greek Etymology, Vol. 2 The proof sheets of the present volume have had throughout the advantage of the revision of Professor Curtius. In addition to some minor additions and corrections, an important change has been made for this translation by the author in pp. 307 - 309, as a result of the discovery stated by him in his Studien Vol. VIII p. 465. The few additions and corrections which have been made by the translators have also received the author's sanction. The pages of the third German edition have been added in the margin, enclosed in brackets, for the convenience of students, as reference is made to that edition in several popular manuals. In the first volume this was the less necessary that the greater part of it was occupied with the lexico graphical arrangement of groups of words, to which reference is usually made by the number of the group. The character j has -been retained throughout for the palatal spirant, denoted in English by y. This has been done mainly in order to bring clearly before the reader the identity of this use of the character with that which is common in Latin words. But it is believed that it will also be of advantage to the student thus to become familiar with the sign invariably used for this. Sound in German works on philology. We cannot omit this opportunity of calling attention to the Rev. W. W. Skeat's 'hand-list of some Cognate Words in English, Latin, and Greek', which contains the English representatives of many of the roots discussed in these volumes. The numbers in the indexes' refer throughout to the pages of the fourth edition of the German work, which will be found, not enclosed in brackets, in the margin.
