Book excerpt: Understanding English Homonyms: Their Origins and Usage explores the phenomenon of homonyms in English by analysing a selection of those with the most interesting histories. This book not only illustrates how homonyms are used in various contexts but also provides etymological explanations of how they came to be such a prominent feature of the language. The introduction offers the reader a brief summary of the social, historical, and linguistic influences that contributed to the evolution of this phenomenon in modern English. A glossary of the linguistic terms referred to in the text is also included. With very few books currently available on the historical origins of English homonyms, this volume should prove popular among students of the language and its history. It will also appeal to anyone who is fascinated by etymology in general. ‘A valuable resource for the student curious to learn why English has so many confusing words. The origin of homonyms is clearly explained with a detailed background as to how their current usage has arisen. Extremely enlightening, even for the most erudite student.’ —Steven Bukin, Principal, School of English Studies, Folkestone, UK

Download or read book A Dictionary of English Homonyms written by A. F. Inglott Bey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Homonyms: Pronouncing and Explanatory This unassuming little work contains a collection of English words, very similar in sound but differently spelled, and conveying different meanings, which are generally known under the name of Homonyms. Collections of Homonyms are certainly found in almost all elementary English school books, but they are.generally too concise. It has therefore been thought necessary to give to the subject a fuller development, without omitting the introduction of a certain number of words considered antiquated or obsolete, but which are nevertheless freely used in common speech, in order to better enable students of the English language to grapple with the difficulty presented by Homonymous words, especially in writing under dictation. It is, moreover, obvious that the translation into French and Italian of every English Homonym, as contained in the text, will prove of considerable help, especially to foreigners studying the English language.
