This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. PARAGRAPH-LENGTH AND SENTENCE-LENGTH. In view of the now well-known fact' that the English sentence has decreased in average length at least one-half in three hundred years, the question arises whether the length of the paragraph has decreased, increased, or remained stationary. Setting aside for the present the O. E. and the M. E. paragraph as inorganic, we make a count of the average number of words to the sentence and to the paragraph, in representative authors since the middle of the fifteenth century. Considerations of time compel us to choose between counting a large number of paragraphs in a few writers, or a smaller number in a considerable list. Since we are not sanguine at the start that a unit so subject to the will of the writer as the paragraph apparently is, can be expected to show close rhythmical constancy, we decide to examine the larger list, with less pretense to scientific accuracy in the individual author, and with more hope of discovering the whole general line of the development. We arrange the results of the investigation in list form, as below. The name of the author is first given, then the number of paragraphs counted (c. being prefixed to the subsequent results in the few cases where the count is not throughout word for word); following this comes the average length of the paragraph in words, decreasing from the author of the highest average; then the average paragraph length in sentences; then the average number of words in the sentence. Pains were taken to secure editions in which the paragraphing was probably that of the author's edition. In many cases first editions were fortunately secured, and when neither first editio'n, very early edition, nor facsimile could be had, the services of friends at a distance 1 The fact was defi...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1, Dublin City University, language: English, abstract: This essay is about the development of english in the worldwide context. In our highly technological, modern and above all fast paced world, instant communication is not only an auxiliary but also a necessity. To be successful and to compete in a global economy, one has to be seen and heard by as many different parties as possible, as quickly as possible. However, in in a worldwide context, the content is not the only thing that is important. What causes more difficulty is the question of understanding. It is very likely that the addresser and the addressee do not come from the same country or even the same continent. In order to enable communication despite the language barrier, there has to be a language that can serve as a medium of connection between two parties. This language nowadays is English, spoken all over the world by almost 1 Billion people, 600 Million of which are non-native, or second language, speakers. Even though it may not be the ‘biggest’ language in the world when it comes to the total number of speakers, Mandarin Chinese heads the table with 1.1 Billion speakers, there are other aspects that make English the ‘biggest’ language globally. Lu (2008) identifies some of them as ease of learning and use, broad acceptance of culture that the language represents, widely scattered users and the possibility to avail of audio-visual and literary publications in order to use the language actively.

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
