This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. PARAGRAPH-LENGTH AND SENTENCE-LENGTH. In view of the now well-known fact' that the English sentence has decreased in average length at least one-half in three hundred years, the question arises whether the length of the paragraph has decreased, increased, or remained stationary. Setting aside for the present the O. E. and the M. E. paragraph as inorganic, we make a count of the average number of words to the sentence and to the paragraph, in representative authors since the middle of the fifteenth century. Considerations of time compel us to choose between counting a large number of paragraphs in a few writers, or a smaller number in a considerable list. Since we are not sanguine at the start that a unit so subject to the will of the writer as the paragraph apparently is, can be expected to show close rhythmical constancy, we decide to examine the larger list, with less pretense to scientific accuracy in the individual author, and with more hope of discovering the whole general line of the development. We arrange the results of the investigation in list form, as below. The name of the author is first given, then the number of paragraphs counted (c. being prefixed to the subsequent results in the few cases where the count is not throughout word for word); following this comes the average length of the paragraph in words, decreasing from the author of the highest average; then the average paragraph length in sentences; then the average number of words in the sentence. Pains were taken to secure editions in which the paragraphing was probably that of the author's edition. In many cases first editions were fortunately secured, and when neither first editio'n, very early edition, nor facsimile could be had, the services of friends at a distance 1 The fact was defi...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1, Dublin City University, language: English, abstract: This essay is about the development of english in the worldwide context. In our highly technological, modern and above all fast paced world, instant communication is not only an auxiliary but also a necessity. To be successful and to compete in a global economy, one has to be seen and heard by as many different parties as possible, as quickly as possible. However, in in a worldwide context, the content is not the only thing that is important. What causes more difficulty is the question of understanding. It is very likely that the addresser and the addressee do not come from the same country or even the same continent. In order to enable communication despite the language barrier, there has to be a language that can serve as a medium of connection between two parties. This language nowadays is English, spoken all over the world by almost 1 Billion people, 600 Million of which are non-native, or second language, speakers. Even though it may not be the ‘biggest’ language in the world when it comes to the total number of speakers, Mandarin Chinese heads the table with 1.1 Billion speakers, there are other aspects that make English the ‘biggest’ language globally. Lu (2008) identifies some of them as ease of learning and use, broad acceptance of culture that the language represents, widely scattered users and the possibility to avail of audio-visual and literary publications in order to use the language actively.

This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English language in its complex shapes and forms changes fast. This thoroughly revised edition has been refreshed with current examples of change and has been updated regarding archeological research. Most suggestions brought up by users and reviewers have been incorporated, for instance, a family tree for Germanic has been added, Celtic influence is highlighted much more, there is more on the origin of Chancery English, and internal and external change are discussed in much greater detail. The philosophy of the revised book remains the same with an emphasis on the linguistic history and on using authentic texts. My audience remains undergraduates (and beginning graduates). The goals of the class and the book are to come to recognize English from various time periods, to be able to read each stage with a glossary, to get an understanding of typical language change, internal and external, and to understand something about language typology through the emphasis on the change from synthetic to analytic.
