Hardcover. Condición: Good. Have you ever wondered about the classification of new words? Well word GEEKS (1984) rejoice. Sol Steinmetz's NEATO (1951) book compiles a list of new words that are sure to be MIND-EXPANDING (1963). The American language grew leaps and bounds in the twentieth century. At the beginning of the century,… there were some 90,000 new words. By the end, there were half a million. 'There's a Word For It' covers the quaint words of the 1900slike BALLYHOO (1901), TEDDY BEAR (1902), and ATTABOY (1909); through the war-torn 40s with GENOCIDE (1944) a NUCLEAR POWER (1948); up to the present with SOCIAL NETWORK (2004), LOCAVORE (2006), and H1N1 (2009).

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. [I include gratis the paperback Advance Uncorrected Proof of Steinmetz's SEMANTIC ANTICS from 2008.] THERE'S A WORD FOR IT: The Explosion of the American Language Since 1900, 246pp. includes Index. Bright, clean & tight co…py, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Word geeks (1984), rejoice! Crack open these covers and immerse yourself in a mind-expanding (1963) compendium of the new words (or new meanings of words) that have sprung from American life to ignite the most vital, inventive, fruitful, and A-OK (1961) lexicographical Big Bang (1950) since the first no-brow (1922) Neanderthal grunted meaningfully. [] In chapters organized by decade, each with a lively and informative narrative of the life and language of the time, along with year-by-year lists of words that were making their first appearance, THERE'S A WORD FOR IT reveals how the American culture contributed to the evolution and expansion of the English language and vice versa. Clearly, it's must-reading (1940). And not to disparage any of the umpteen (1918) other language books on the shelf--though they have their share of hokum (1917) and gobbledygook (1944)--but this one truly is the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas (1920s)." [jacket copy] "Genome. Non-stick. Humanoid. Fairly recent additions to American English? No--1930, 1927, and 1918, respectively. Whether you say Whee! (1920) or Sheesh! (1959) when a new word is coined or adopted, you'll appreciate Sol Steinmetz's pleasurable and detailed guide to a century of linguistic innovations and the cultural changes they gave voice to."--Wendalyn Nichols. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket. + SEMANTIC ANTICS: How and Why Words Change Meaning, 280pp. Bright & unread Advance Uncorrected Proof in paperback. "Many common English words started out with an entirely different meaning than the one we know today. For example: the word 'adamant' came into English around 855 C.E. as a synonym for 'diamond,' very different from today's meaning of the word: 'utterly unyielding in attitude or opinion.' [] 'Meat' was originally a term used to describe any type of food. It then narrowed in meaning to describe an entire meal, such as breakfast or dinner, and finally settled into the meaning we know today: 'the flesh of animals as used for food.' SEMANTIC ANTICS takes readers on an in-depth, fascinating journey through the evolution of hundreds of words." [publisher copy] "SEMANTIC ANTICS shines a light on the often complex evolution of the meaning of words. This approachable book brings word history to life for the nonspecialist reader, without sacrificing accuracy."--Jesse Sheidlower. Handy & pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.
