Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Study on Compound Substantives in English: Inaugural Dissertation
If this matter generally presents difficulties, it does so still more when one has to deal with the English language, for here another difficulty comes in. In Ger man and Swedish, for instance, it is very easy to as certain if a certain combination presents formal isolation or not, but in English one is frequently at a loss to decide whether the first element should not properly be apprehended as an adjective.

Excerpt from A Study on Compound Substantives in English: Inaugural Dissertation
In collecting my material I have drawn so largely from the treasures stored up in the New English Dictionary, that the present work may even be said to be founded upon it. Yet, for the earlier periods it has not sufficed; nor has it furnished enough illustrative material to permit of the treatment of some present-day phenomena. In these cases other sources have had to be resorted to.
As it has not been possible to get sufficient material for a comprehensive illustration of all the phenomena dealt with, some points have necessarily been treated more summarily than they ought to have been.
It is a duty and a pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor Axel Erdmann for the suggestion of the subject of this treatise, to Docent K. F. Sundén for much valuable advice, and to both for the obliging kindness shown to me throughout my English studies.
My thanks are further due to my friend Dr. V. Bladin for some interesting quotations, and to Mr. S. J. Charleston, Lector at the University of Upsala, for the revision of the English of the MSS.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of compound words in the English language. It begins by laying out the criteria for distinguishing between compounds, syntactical word groups, and derivatives. The author then examines the historical development of compound words, tracing their origins from Old English to Modern English. The author delves into the different ways in which compound words are formed, including obscured compounds, which are words that are no longer readily recognisable as compounds. They also discuss the influence of factors such as stress, vowel reduction, and consonant assimilation on the formation of compounds. The author provides a thorough analysis of the different types of compound words, including strong compounds (those that exhibit formal isolation) and weak compounds (those that do not). They also discuss the factors that influence the choice of one type of compound over another, such as the frequency and familiarity of the component parts. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development and use of compound words in English, making it an invaluable resource for linguists, philologists, and anyone interested in the history of the English language. The author's insights shed light on the complex and dynamic nature of language, and the ways in which words are constantly evolving to meet the needs of communication. 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: 9781330654507_0
