Synopsis
Excerpt from A Semantic Study of the Verbs of Doing and Making in the Indo-European Languages: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
That such a vague, general notion as that' Of 'do' or make is secondary and rests upon some more specific force, is an as sumption demanded by all psychological probability and fully confirmed by linguistic evidence. The purpose of this dissertation is to show what are the various specific forces from which come the verbs Of doing and making in the indo-european languages. Attention is given primarily to the commonest words of this kind in the several languages, - those which are the usual equivalents of English do or make; and it is hoped that none Of these has been overlooked. But words in which such a general meaning is only occasional, the more specific sense being commonly preserved, as well as words which, though not verbs of doing and making in the strictest sense, come very near to this meaning, are equally instructive as showing the possibilities of development in this direction and many of these have been considered. In this regard, however, it is Obviously impossible to aim at completeness, which could be attained only in a study devoted to a single language.

A Semantic Study of the Verbs of Doing and Making in the Indo-European
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of the most common verbs for doing and making across the Indo-European language family. The author traces the development of these verbs from their specific meanings, such as placing or arranging, to their more general senses of doing and making. The book explores the historical and linguistic factors that have influenced this evolution, providing insights into the cognitive and cultural processes involved in the development of language. The author argues that these verbs often originate from more specific actions, reflecting the gradual expansion of their semantic range over time. By examining the diverse expressions for doing and making in Indo-European languages, this book sheds light on the ways in which languages adapt and change in response to the evolving needs of their speakers, offering valuable insights for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of human language and cognition. 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 # 9780282069865_0
