Synopsis
Excerpt from Figurative Language, Its Origin and Constitution
What value the book may possess is a question in no degree involving that of the year in which it was written.
No scientific experiments are required for its subject, no geographical discoveries; so that to all practical intents and purposes it is, after all, a new one. While revising, I have endeavoured to avoid adopting anything from the authors named, unless in the form of a brief quotation.

Figurative Language, Its Origin and Constitution (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to prove that language, far from being divinely bestowed, is an invention of mankind. It argues that man constructed language by imitating nature, demonstrating how the roots of words imitate natural sounds â" like the Latin root âmittoâ meaning to send, which also imitates the sound of something being thrown. The author also sheds light on how these roots were then used to create words for emotions and abstract ideas, by drawing on the natural harmony between the material and spiritual worlds. This book is important because it gives us a deeper understanding of the origins of language and the power of the human mind to create. 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 # 9781330648346_0
