Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americanisms and Briticisms: With Other Essays on Other Isms In the preface to the first edition of his dictionary, issued in 1825, Noah Webster declared that although in America the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist, Since language is the expression of ideas, and if the people of one' country cannot preserve an identity of ideas with the people of another country, they are not likely to retain an absolute iden tity of language; and Webster had no difficulty in showing that differences of physical and political conditions had al ready in his day, only half a century after the Revolution, and when the centre of population was still close to the Atlanticseaboard, produced differences of speech. It is too much to expect, perhaps, that the British critic shall look at this Yankee independence from our point of view. Professor Lounsbury tells us in his admi rable biography that in Fenimore Cooper's time the attitude of the Englishman tow ards the American in the most favorable cases was supercilious and patroniz ing, an attitude which never permits the nation criticising to understand the na tion criticised. Things have changed for the better since Cooper was almost alone in his stalwart Americanism, but the arrogance which General Braddock of his Majesty's army Showed towards Colonel Washington of the Virginia con tingent survives here and there in Great Britain, even though another dean Sits in Dr. Alford's stall in Canterbury Cathe dral; it prompted a British novelist not long ago to be offensively impertinent to an American lady (athenceuin, September I, and it allowed Lord Wolseley to insult the memory of Robert E. Lee with ignorant praise. It finds expression in a passage like the following from a Primer of English C omposition, by Mr. John Nich ols: Americanisms, as Britisher, ' Skedaddle, ' and the peculiar use of clever, ' 'calculate, guess, 'reckon, ' etc with the mongrel Speech adopted by some humor ists, are only admissible in satirical pict ures of American manners (p. When we read an assertion of this sort, we are reduced to believe that it must be the dampness of the British climate which has thus rusted the hinges of British man ners.

Book excerpt: In this brilliant transatlantic survival guide, Erin Moore examines the key differences between the British and the Americans through their language. You'll discover why Americans give - and take - so many bloody compliments and never, ever say 'shall' (well hardly ever), as well as what the British really mean when they say 'proper', why they believe it is better to be bright than clever and how the word sorry has at least eight different meanings for them.

Book Synopsis That’s The Way It Crumbles by : Matthew Engel
Download or read book That’s The Way It Crumbles written by Matthew Engel and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2017-06-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we tired of hearing that fall is a season, sick of being offered fries and told about the latest movie? Yeah. Have we noticed the sly interpolation of Americanisms into our everyday speech? You betcha. And are we outraged? Hell, yes. But do we do anything? Too much hassle. Until now. In That's The Way It Crumbles Matthew Engel presents a call to arms against the linguistic impoverishment that happens when one language dominates another. With dismay and wry amusement, he traces the American invasion of our language from the early days of the New World, via the influence of Edison, the dance hall and the talkies, right up to the Apple and Microsoft-dominated present day, and explores the fate of other languages trying to fend off linguistic takeover bids. It is not the Americans' fault, more the result of their talent for innovation and our own indifference. He explains how America's cultural supremacy affects British gestures, celebrations and way of life, and how every paragraph and conversation includes words the British no longer even think of as Americanisms. Part battle cry, part love song, part elegy, this book celebrates the strange, the banal, the precious and the endangered parts of our uncommon common language.

This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a considerable variation in the English language as spoken by the branches of the Anglo-Saxon. The English people differ from the American people in the use of the common speech not only in their characteristic mode of pronunciation and orthography, but also in no less striking a manner in the use of certain idioms and household phrases, which constitute the small change of our every-day speech.Notable eccentricities are to be observed in the English mode of pronouncing many proper names such as Derby, pronounced 'darby' ; Berkeley, pronounced 'barclay' ; Magdalen, pronounced 'maudlin ' ; Marylebone, pronounced 'merrybone' ; Marlborough, pronounced ' mobrer ' ; Albany, pronounced so that the first syllable rhymes with Al- in Alfred, etc..
