Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the grammatical phenomenon of adding Latin, Greek, and Romance suffixes to native English words. The author traces this trend from its roots in Old English through its proliferation during the nineteenth century. The study examines the many ways in which this hybridization impacted English vocabulary, contributing words like "shipment", "settlement" and the like. Moreover, the book discusses this practice within its broader literary context and explores its role in the evolution of the English lexicon. Scholars of linguistics and the history of English will find this work an invaluable resource on a topic that constitutes a significant and understudied aspect of the language's development.
