Download or read book Origins and Meanings of Popular Phrases Names (Classic Reprint) written by Basil Hargrave and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origins and Meanings of Popular Phrases Names This book is put forward in the belief that a demand exists for a concise epitome of the origin and meaning of words and phrases which are in every-day use but which are often not appreciated at their full significance. Its size is sufficient to show that it is neither intended to be an exhaustive philological treatise nor an academic encyclopaedia, but it aims at throwing an interesting light on many words by recalling their derivation, and it endeavours to give useful information in a pleasant and chatty form. One of the chief difficulties in its compilation has been the selection of its contents. Some criterion had to be established, as it was obviously impossible, while confining the book to convenient limits, to include everything that would be of interest to all, and yet that which might appear most desirable to some, might be esteemed valueless by others. Eventually, as the result of much cogitation, the compiler decided to cut the Gordian knot by boldly wielding the sword of his own fancy - only that which seemed of interest to him should be included.

Book Synopsis English Noun Phrases from a Functional-Cognitive Perspective by : Lotte Sommerer
Download or read book English Noun Phrases from a Functional-Cognitive Perspective written by Lotte Sommerer and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2022-01-15 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a significant increase in interest over the last two decades in the English Noun Phrase, there are still many open questions and unexplored issues. The papers collected in this volume contribute to this ongoing research by addressing a range of topics concerning the internal structure, use and development of English Noun Phrases. The eleven chapters represent three main themes: 1. Determination, modification and complementation; 2. Shell nouns and the X-is construction; 3. Binominal constructions. These topics are approached in different ways: some chapters are synchronic in nature, others diachronic; and while most subscribe to functional-cognitive modelling, some take a more formal approach. In addition, different methodologies are employed, varying from qualitative and quantitative corpus analyses to experimental methods. As a result, the contributions to this volume represent both the main topics currently discussed in research on the English Noun Phrase, and the diversity in the way these topics are investigated.
Book Synopsis Phrases and Names by : Trench Johnson
Download or read book Phrases and Names written by Trench Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising well over 4,000 entries, this interesting glossary, first published in 1906, details the origins and meanings of many terms, words, sayings, and place names. Most will be familiar to the modern reader but their origin may not. A few example entries are given below: Mad as a Hatter. A corruption of "Mad as an atter." Atter expressed the Saxon for a viper or adder. The word "Mad" was anciently used in the sense of venomous; hence this expression really meant "venomous as a viper." Sardinia. Called Sandaliotis by the Greeks on account of its resemblance to a human footprint; this name was changed by the Romans to Sardo. At a later period the island was called Sardonion, from a poisonous herb, transplanted from Sardis in Asia Minor, which brought about a twitching of the muscles of the face resembling laughter; hence the phrase to "Smile sardonically." Set the Thames on fire. A "temse" was the old name for a sieve, agreeably to the French tamis and the Italian tamiso, which terms express the same implement. A sifter would require to work very hard indeed to ignite his sieve. Accordingly a bystander often said to him touching his apparent laziness: "You'll never set the temse on fire!" Its punning application to the River Thames is perhaps pardonable. Wallop. In the year 1514 the French fleet ravaged the coast of Sussex, and burned Brighthelmstone, now Brighton, whereupon Sir John Wallop, one of the best naval commanders of his time, was sent by Henry VIII. to make reprisals. In this he succeeded only too well; he burned twenty-one French coasting villages, demolished several harbours, and thrashed the enemy to his heart's content. His men, however, proud of the achievement, declared that they had Walloped the French; and thus it was that a new synonym for "thrash" came to be incorporated into the English language.
