The Etymology and Syntax of the English Language Explained: Illustrated (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Etymology and Syntax of the English Language Explained: Illustrated
The success, with which the principles of any art or science are investigated, is generally proportioned to the number of those, whose labours are directed to its cultivation and improvement. Inquiry is necessarily the parent of knowledge; error itself, proceeding from discussion, leads ultimately to the establishment of truth.
Were we to estimate our progress in the knowledge of English grammar from the number of works already published on the subject, we should perhaps be prompted to infer, that in a field so circumscribed, and at the same time so often and so ably explored, no object worthy of notice could have escaped attention.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of English grammar, exploring its evolution and complexities. Set against the backdrop of classical literature, the author contends that while knowledge of Greek and Latin can be beneficial, it often coincides with a superficial understanding of English grammar. The author argues for a more nuanced approach to understanding the English language, moving beyond mere memorization of rules to a critical examination of its structure and unique principles. Through meticulous analysis, the author sheds light on aspects of English grammar that have often been overlooked or misinterpreted. This book challenges conventional assumptions about parts of speech, number, gender, and the interplay between classical and English linguistic structures. It encourages readers to question established norms and engage in a thoughtful exploration of the intricacies of their native tongue. By unraveling the complexities of English grammar, this book provides valuable insights for scholars, students, and anyone seeking a deeper appreciation for the language we use every day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330102480_0
