Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Unconventional Language: A Dissertation For many years there has been a wide popular interest in the subject of slang and unconventional language generally, as indicated by the number of dictionaries of unconventional words and phrases that have been published. Besides, there have appeared numerous essays on the subject. Among the more important collections of unconventional terms are those cited in the reference list appended to this study. Much of the popular interest in the subject has in the past been due to the question Of the relation of slang to the purity of the English language. Again and again a determined stand has been made against the supposed corrupting influences of Slang. On the other hand, it would be easy to collect an anthology in praise of slang. The philological tradition from Bopp and Pott to Whitney and March has been tolerant Of Change through the unconventional, and the list Of those who, either by precept or example or both, have been favorably disposed to the use of popular speech, contains such names as dequincey, Noah Webster, John Hay, Burns, Lowell, Howells, Bret Harte, Balzac, and many others whose names will readily occur to the reader. It is Lowell's view (40) that only from its roots in the living generations Of men can a language be re-enforced with fresh vigor for its needs; what may be called a literate dialect grows ever more and more pedantic and foreign, till it becomes at last as unfitting a vehicle for living thought as monkish Latin. True vigor and hardiness of phrase do not pass from page to page, but from man to man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The American Language is a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States. The book is Menken's research of the differences between English and American language. Mencken wanted to defend "Americanisms" against a steady stream of English critics, who usually isolated Americanisms as borderline "perversions" of the "mother tongue". The book discusses the beginnings of "American" variations from "English", the spread of these variations, American names and slang. According to Mencken, American English was more colorful, vivid, and creative than its British counterpart. The book concludes with the observation in the norms of use of the proper names in America, including surnames, given names, geographical names, Menken's analysis on the American slang, and forecast on the further language development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1965, when psychologists Sandra and Daryl Bem met and married, they were determined to function as truly egalitarian partners and to raise their children in accordance with gender-liberated, anti-homophobic, and sex-positive feminist ideals. This book by Sandra Bem, an autobiographical account of the Bems' nearly thirty-year marriage, is both a personal history of the Bems' past and a social history of a key period in feminism's past. It is also a look into feminism's future, because the Bems' children, Emily and Jeremy, now in their early twenties, speak in the book as well.
