This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 1094 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English Again, of the many thousands of old or new scientific and technical terms that have a limited currency some are carried by accident into the main stream of the language and become known temporarily or permanently, vaguely or precisely, to all ordinarily well-informed members of the modern newspaper-reading public. For the purposes of a dictionary that is not to be bulky and yet is to give a fuller treatment than is usual in dictionaries of its size to the undoubtedly current words forming the staple of the language, selection among these intruders is a difficult but very necessary task. The most that can be hoped for is that every one conversant with any special vocabulary may consider us, though sadly deficient on his subject, fairly copious on others the meaning cf many learned words that have been omitted as having no pretence to general currency may easily be gathered by reference first to the stem, which is often the subject of an article, or to another word of which the stem is clearly the same, and secondly to the suffix. In another class of words and senses the test of currency has led us to diverge in the opposite direction from the practice usual in dictionaries of this size if we give fewer scientific and technical terms, we admit colloquial, facetious, slang, and vulgar expressions with freedom, merely attaching a cautionary label when a well established usage of this kind is omitted, it is not because we consider it beneath the dignity of lexicography to record it, but because, not being recorded in the dictionaries from which our word-list is necessarily compiled, it has escaped our notice we have not, however, consulted slang dictionaries nor made any attempt at completeness in this respect.

Download or read book English in Print from Caxton to Shakespeare to Milton written by Valerie Hotchkiss and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English in Print from Caxton to Shakespeare to Milton examines the history of early English books, exploring the concept of putting the English language into print with close study of the texts, the formats, the audiences, and the functions of English books. Lavishly illustrated with more than 130 full-color images of stunning rare books, this volume investigates a full range of issues regarding the dissemination of English language and culture through printed works, including the standardization of typography, grammar, and spelling; the appearance of popular literature; and the development of school grammars and dictionaries. Valerie Hotchkiss and Fred C. Robinson provide engaging descriptions of more than a hundred early English books drawn from the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and the Elizabethan Club of Yale University. The study nearly mirrors the chronological coverage of Pollard and Redgrave's famous Short-Title Catalogue (1475-1640), beginning with William Caxton, England's first printer, and ending with John Milton, the English language's most eloquent defender of the freedom of the press in his Areopagitica of 1644. William Shakespeare, neither a printer nor a writer much concerned with publishing his own plays, nonetheless deserves his central place in this study because Shakespeare imprints, and Renaissance drama in general, provide a fascinating window on the world of English printing in the period between Caxton and Milton.

Download or read book The North American Spelling Book, Conformed to Worcester's Dictionary written by Levi Washburn Leonard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Spelling Book, Conformed to Worcester's Dictionary: With a Progressive Series of Easy Reading Lessons The North American Spelling Book, as is stated on the title page, is conformed to Worcester's Dictionary, a work of superior merit and ac curacy, and extensively used in the United' States. By permission of Mr. Worcester, his system of notation has been applied to the spelling lessons in this book, and in preparing the work, it has been the compiler's object to adhere strictly to the principles of the Dictionary. In some instances, however, vowels in unaccented syllables have the mark of a distinct sound, which in the Dictionary are marked as obscure. The' marks for' the capitals C and G hard, and Th soft or flat, are changed for those used in Worcester's Universal and Critical Dictionary, a new and valuable work, in which the orthography and pronunciation of more than one hun dred thousand words are given with authorities in doubtful or disputed cases. It is designed to be a complete glossary to all English books that are now read. With respect to the division of words into syllables, the Dictionary has not always been followed. The object of a Spelling Book is not the same as that of a Dictionary, and the words, therefore, have been divided in such a manner as seemed most likely to lead to a correct pronunciation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Thousand Common English Words: Their Comparative Frequency and What Can Be Done With Them In placing this book in your hands I ask for it a careful reading and serious consid cration. The ultimate aim of the work is the introduction of a limited vocabulary for universal use. It points out certain facts that show this to be possible and feasible. For such a vocabulary it proposes the selection of words now already in frequent use in some one or more of the principal languages and nations of the world including the Eng lish, this vocabulary so far as it goes to be learned and used throughout the world to the exclusion, in printed matter, and as much as possible in speech, of all other words having the same meanings. It shows that a moderate number of words, wisely selected, would enable any two people understanding them, though they had no other words in common, to converse intelligently on many subjects. The book gives lists of words compiled from current literature, indicating approximately what English words would need to be represented by words of this universal eclectic or polyglot vocabulary, and explains how the results aimed at may be attained. It shows how these necessary words are to be selected from various languages, how they may be universally introduced and how all other words having the same meanings may be excluded from use in all printed matter and in all languages. No difficulties are skipped, and an effort has been made to point out the hard spots. The undertaking is large only because there are immense numbers of people to reach and teach, and because they are scattered over immense territories. It requires no Herculean effort by any individual or any nation. It will take you less than an hour and a half to read this plan, and when you have read it all you will know that the plan is feasible, that it can be carried out and the vocab ulary gradually introduced into the literature of the world without confusion, and that the world will not be turned upside down in the process.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Guilford Speller With Word Studies and Dictionary Work Although there have undoubtedly been improvements in the method of teaching spelling during the last twenty-five years, the fact that the spelling is poor in schools, in colleges, and in business life generally cannot be gainsaid. The complaint is so universal and so persistent that the inference is irresistible either that the subject is extremely difficult or that the present method of teaching it is faulty. The authors of this book believe the trouble arises in large part from a wrong method, and accordingly offer as a remedy this book, the characteristic feature of which is dictionary work. This consists not in merely telling the pupil to consult the dictionary - for the dictionary is an oracle that divulges little unless wisely interrogated, - but the pupil is given varied and numerous lessons on its proper use till he thoroughly understands what a dictionary is for, becomes expert in its use, ceases guessing when a difficulty is presented, and of himself not only consults the dictionary, but does so intelligently and rapidly; and, as a result, very rarely misspells or mispronounces a word. The great majority of those who ever learn to spell acquire the accomplishment in precisely this way, but after leaving school.
