Download or read book A Dictionary of Entomology written by Gordon Gordh and published by CABI. This book was released on 2001 with total page 1040 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a comprehensive, fully cross-referenced collection of over 28,000 terms, names and phrases used in entomology, incorporating an estimated 43,000 definitions. It is the only listing which covers insect anatomy, behaviour, biology, ecology, histology, molecular biology, morphology, pest management, taxonomy and systematics. The origin, etymology, part of speech and definition of each term and phrase are all provided, including the language, meaning or root of each term and constituent parts. Where meanings have changed, or terms have been borrowed from other disciplines, the most current usage is indicated. The common names of insects, their scientific binomen and taxonomic classification are provided, with diagnoses of pest species in many cases. All insect order, suborder, superfamily, family and subfamily names are given, together with the diagnostic features of orders and families. Names of deceased entomologists, or scientists from other fields who have contributed to entomology are included, with the citation for their biography or obituary. The list of names is global, including entomologists from Asia, whose research has often been neglected by western scientists. This book is an essential reference source for all professionals and students of entomology and related disciplines."--p. [4] of cover.
Download or read book Folk Etymology written by A. Smythe Palmer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT is extraordinary indeed that no book should have been written before on the precise lines of this useful and entertaining volume. Perhaps, however, the production of such a compendium of word-lore would have been impossible until the appearance of Murray and Bradley's still uncompleted New English Dictionary, and Wright's Dictionary of Dialect. In any case, Dr. Palmer deserves our gratitude. He has struck, as it seems to us, the right mean between the popular and the scientific. The Old English (why Anglo-Saxon?) forms are quoted with an accuracy which was conspicuous by its absence in earlier attempts to popularize the study of philology, while at the same time the writer has wisely refrained from attempting to trace the relationship between the earlier forms through the ramifications of phonetic law, and has avoided those references to the mysteries of 'Lautverschiebung,' 'Ablaut,' and 'Umlaut,' with which the scientific philologist is prone to damp the ardour of the intelligent but unlearned reader. The central object is well kept in view throughout—i.e. to show how the natural desire for uniformity (combined perhaps with the subtler intellectual pleasure of tracing or inventing analogies) leads to the defacement, often beyond recognition, of such words as are least comprehensible to the vulgar mind—notably of foreign words and names, to which a whole chapter is devoted. One criticism suggests itself, i.e. that in classifying his material the author might have done well to draw a sharper line of demarcation between the half or wholly unconscious blunders of the vulgar, and the elaborate and would-be ingenious guesses of literary men whose linguistic science is not on a par with their zeal for etymology. Chaucer, Fuller and Ruskin are alike sinners in this respect. It is a curious fact that in the realm of philology, and especially of etymology, fools — or shall we rather say, heaven-born enthusiasts? — are so prone to rush in where the cautious students of the German school fear to tread. Were it not so, however, the study of language would be a duller thing than it is, and English readers would have missed the genuine treat that now awaits them in the perusal of Dr. Smythe Palmer's little book. —The Church Quarterly Review, Volume 60 [1905]
Download or read book A Glossary of Some Foreign Language Terms in Entomology written by Ruth O. Ericson and published by . This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translating scientific papers from foreign languages into English requires more than finding English equivalents in a dictionary. Sometimes the foreign words do not appear in the foreign-language dictionary or the equivalents cited for them are unsuitable. At other times the choice of equivalents is so wide that proper selection of the preferred English term is difficult. Dictionaries seldom make shades of meaning clear; they can usually be gleaned only from the context of the paper itself, from illustrations accompanying it, from a knowledge of the insect concerned, or by consulting European entomologists familiar with the common words in technical use. In older papers on entomology European writers used Latin technical terms in describing the parts of an insect's body, as American entomologists still do. But in the 1930's many European writers began to replace such technical terms by words from the common speech. Instead of the Latin, and hence universal, "abdomen," some German writers first adopted "Bauch" for the third section of an insect body. Since this word means abdomen or venter in man, it was not precise enough to designate the abdomen in insects. Therefore "Hinterleib" [= hinder part of the body] is now more generally used for abdomen; whereas "Bauch" is employed to mean the venter or sternum of the abdomen in insects, in more recent literature. These common words tend to be used loosely and inconsistently. Of two Russian collaborators in papers on grasshoppers, for instance, one uses a different Russian word for the sternum and the thorax, but the other uses the same Russian word for both. Many of these terms are not the ones preferred by European specialists in entomology.Many were incorrectly used by amateurs, or by entomologists writing in a language other than their own. Hence the terms appearing in this Glossary are not necessarily the ones used by the best writers, but the equivalents given for them were found to be those best suited for the purpose of a given translation. Miss Ericson had completed the manuscript for this glossary, but had no opportunity to review the proofs, at the time of her death on October 9, 1961.

Download or read book Origin Uncertain written by Anatoly Liberman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost origins of words revealed. We like to recount that goodbye started out as "god be with you," that whiskey comes from the Gaelic for "water of life," or that avocado originated as the Aztec word for "testicle." But there are many words with origins unknown, disputed, or so buried in old journals that they may as well be lost to the general public. In Origin Uncertain: Unraveling the Mysteries of Etymology, eminent etymologist Anatoly Liberman draws on his professional expertise and etymological database to tell the stories of less understood words such as nerd, fake, ain't, hitchhike, trash, curmudgeon, and quiz, as well as puzzling idioms like kick the bucket and pay through the nose. By casting a net so broadly, the book addresses language history, language usage (including grammar), history (both ancient and modern), religion, superstitions, and material culture. Writing in the spirit of adventure through the annals of word origins, Liberman also shows how historical linguists construct etymologies, how to evaluate competing explanations, and how to pursue further research.
