This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTORY. Writers upon the history of language are very careful to insist that the process of development or evolution of speech takes place in the living, spoken language, and not in written documents. It is pointed out that language changes in the very act of speaking, that changes in pronunciation, accidence, and the rest come about gradually, and by imperceptible degrees, within the lifetime of a single generation, and in transmission from one generation to another. A history of a language is an account of these slight and gradual changes, the cumulative results of which, in the course of several generations, may be very remarkable. In a primitive age, the written form of a language is, in the main, a reproduction of the spoken form, and follows as nearly as may be, though often lagging somewhat behind, the changing fortunes of the latter. If a language ceases to be spoken as a normal, living means of intercourse between man and man, the written form can no longer change, but must remain fixed, since it must consist merely of a reproduction of ancient models; there is no longer a living, changing speech to mould its character and keep it up to date. It is an unfortunate circumstance for students of the history of a language, but one from which there is no escape, that they are dependent upon written documents for a knowledge of all but the most recent developments, since, in the nature of things, they can gain no direct and personal access to the spoken language earlier than the speech of the oldest living person they may know. We are bound, therefore, to make the best use we can of the written records of the past, always bearing in mind that our question in respect to the writers of these documents is ever-How did they speak? What fact of pronunciation is revealed by, or concealed beneath, this or that spelling? Our business in this book is mainly concerned with English as it has been spoken during the last four or five centuries; we are not attempting a history of literary form, and our interest in written documents, whether they rise to the dignity of works of literature, or be of a humbler character, is primarily in proportion to the light these compositions throw upon the spoken English of the period in which they were written....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the English Language As regards the subject of nomenclature, I have seen no reason to alter essentially that which was employed in the previous editions. On one point in particular, action has not been taken unadvisedly. I have exam ined with care everything accessible on the subject, and, I think, nearly everything that has been published, and the more I have read, the less I have been im pressed with the force of the arguments against the use of the term anglo-saxon. I have therefore te tained it in this work, as furnishing what is all-impor tant in nomenclature, a term which, once understood, can never be misunderstood. It is very noticeable that those who are most violently opposed to its use, not unfrequently resort to it when they wish to define with absolute precision what they mean when they apply the term Old English to a particular period in the history of the language. There are, indeed, advantages and disadvantages connected with any terminology that may be adopted. It is certainly an argument in favor of the designation as Old English of what is here called anglo-saxon, that it makes promi nent the continuity of our speech. It is an objection to it that, besides the inevitable ambiguity of the epi thet old, ' it suggests wrong ideas as to the nature of that continuity. Still it would be folly to attach impor tance to this particular subject. It is only those who magnify matters of minor consequence that will con sider the question as one of much moment. I have.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the History of the English Language for the Use of Teacher and Student In later works, however, Dr. Morris gives up the point, and quietly returns to the use of the really indispensable terms Saxon and anglo-saxon. Thus, at p. 32 of the Preface to his Chaucer we have: 'in anglo-saxon fan'e'r, brotfier, a'oug/zter took no inflexion in the singular.' And again: 'this construction occurs in a.s. Writers, ' p. 36 verbs of Saxon origin, ' p. 37, and elsewhere paw'm.as applicable both to the people and to their language. Thus in the vvz'd one of the oldest, if not the very oldest, piece of Saxon poetry extant, the Seojb or 'wide wanderer' tells us -that amongst the many tribes and peoples visited by him were the Saxons And mid [enum and mid Seaxum ic waes: ' p. 322 of Thorpe's 'codex Exoniensis.' In the same poem, and probably for the first time in an English text, Angle occurs under the forms Ongle and Eagle four times Ofl'a weold Ongle 5 mid englum ic wees, &c.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of the History of the English Language But the great charm which places the book in a class of its own, and which should make it a most grateful addition to the list of college texts, is its brevity. It seems to solve the diffi culty with which each teacher of Old English is confronted, that of finding a text which is of proper size to use in an ordinary College course in Old English without infringing too much upon time which belongs more particularly to grammatical study and to reading.
