The Development of Language, an Elementary Study of Language History, and of the Growth of Our Speech, for Use in Schools (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Development of Language, an Elementary Study of Language History, and of the Growth of Our Speech, for Use in Schools
The treatment of a number of topics here given is nec essarily brief, and the form of statement throughout has been influenced by a desire to meet the needs of young students rather than to present the subject matter in a manner which should be scientifically complete from every point of view. Opinions are bound to differ as to points of emphasis in such a course. It has seemed to the authors wiser to omit any detailed statements of the important laws regarding the changes of the Indo - European consonant groups as more appropriate for later study. The pupil will be better able to appreciate these more intricate problems when he has gained a larger familiarity with the actual material of foreign lan guages than can be expected at an early point in his course. However, teachers who wish to take up such topics as Grimm's and Verner's Laws can easily do so in connection with the chapters dealing with consonant change.
