The Grammar, History and Derivation of the English Language (Classic Reprint): With Chapters on Parsing, Analysis of Sentences, and Prosody: With ... of Sentences, and Prosody (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book challenges the traditional view of grammar as a dry, rule-based subject. Instead, the author argues that language itself is the ultimate source of grammatical truths, and that studying grammar should be akin to exploring the natural world. By analyzing real language, students can discover the laws that govern word formation, meaning, and usage. The author's approach draws inspiration from the scientific spirit of the 19th century, a time when natural history and experimental science were flourishing. The book emphasizes the importance of analyzing language specimens, similar to the way botanists and chemists study their subjects. Through this process, students can develop their critical thinking skills and gain a deeper understanding of the evolution and complexity of language. The author also explores the historical development of English grammar, showing how certain â exceptionsâ are actually remnants of earlier linguistic forms. This perspective reveals the interconnectedness of past and present language, highlighting how the English language has evolved over time. By providing a scientific and historically informed approach to grammar, this book offers a richer, more engaging learning experience, making the study of language both intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding.
