This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Words and Their Ways in English Speech The practical man, who rides in electric cars, talks by the long-distance telephone, and dictates his letters to a stenographer, seldom has time to think that he is the heir of all the ages. Yet, however busy he may be, there are moments when the amazing phenomenon of articulate speech comes home to him as a kind of commonplace miracle. To answer some of the questions that occur to one at such moments is the main purpose of this book. Chapters XIII and XIV are an essential part of the treatment, but have been so adjusted that the reader who finds them abstruse may skip them without scruple.

Download or read book Essentials of English Speech and Literature written by Frank H. Vizetelly and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 424 pages. 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 Elements of English Speech Classic Reprint written by Isaac Bassett Choate and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of English Speech These notes were mostly made some time ago, and for a very different use but, thinking they may prove suggestive to the reader, I have collected them into this little volume, and publish them, even at the risk of being regarded another such snapper-up of unconsidered trifles as Autolycus proclaims himself in the Winter's Tale of Shakespeare. They are accompanied by so much of comment and theory as the subject in hand seems to call for to bring into clear view its difficulties, but with no attempt to treat any one topic in an exhaustive manner. The book is not designed for a text-book, nor is it intended to supplement text-books. The object of its publica tion will be fully accomplished if it encourages any reader to study our language critically in its forms and elements, if it suggests methods of investigation likely to prove useful in solving the many problems peculiar to English, if it exhibits anything of the fresh ness, the life, and the vigor of a still growing idiom.

Download or read book Politics and the English Language written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, ‘is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind’. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwell’s Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Live Questions The questions discussed in this volume are all of vital interest to humanity, and upon the proper solution of some of them depends the fate of the republic. While some of these papers and speeches have been published in one way or another it is believed that 'by putting them in a more enduring form I can assist the patriotic student and thus render a service to my country. In discussing the tariff, the money question and government by injunction the same illustrations are used in different speeches, which-would be objectionable if the book were a treatise to be read consecutively, but I have concluded that in this case it would be best to have each speech as nearly com plete as possible. Consequently the short repetitions have beeii al lowed to stand. Justice requires me to state that in the original preparation of the matter in this book I have been greatly assisted by the unerring judgment and wise criticism of Mrs. Altgeld. Through her influence'some of the articles were softened in tone and others were changed in character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
