Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Etymology, Vol. 1

In the present edition, the original text is printed entire, with no change but the correction of perhaps half a dozen errors of the press and the trans fer of the articles composing the Appendix to their proper places in the alphabet. My additions consist of notes upon a considerable number of words, a list of which is given at the end of this preface. These notes are inclosed in brackets and signed with the initial M. My observations, as will be seen, are confined almost wholly to historical derivation, and I have attempted little in the way of conjectural deduction from imitative sounds, from the supposed natural significance of primary consonantal combinations, or from the analogies of ancient and remote languages not' actually known to have contributed directly to the composition of the English vocabulary. This course has been imposed upon me as well by necessity as by choice. I will not indeed affect to say, with Capgrave, that I want ny al that schuld longe to a studier.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of etymology, exploring the origins and evolution of words in the English language. The author challenges traditional views on language development, proposing a theory that emphasizes the imitative nature of words and their connection to natural sounds. By comparing English words to interjections and sounds from various languages, the author unveils a captivating journey of linguistic discovery. The book offers a fresh perspective on etymology, moving away from abstract root theories and embracing the concept of onomatopoeia as a fundamental principle in language formation. The exploration extends beyond mere sounds, delving into the ways words have adapted and acquired new meanings over time. The author sheds light on how our understanding of words is often shaped by cultural and historical contexts, offering a deeper appreciation for the richness and complexity of language. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, this book invites readers to embark on an intellectual adventure, uncovering the hidden stories behind the words we use every day. By tracing the evolution of language, we gain a profound understanding of human communication and the intricate ways in which we express ourselves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330492703_0
