Excerpt from Lectures on the English Language: Edited With Additional Lectures and Notes
I have only to add, that the occasional allusions to the political condition of Europe are to be under stood with reference to the time when the Lectures were delivered, and that subsequent events have but strengthened the convictions I have expressed on this important subject.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origin and evolution of the English language. The author argues that English is a remarkably heterogeneous language, with words derived from a wide variety of sources, including Anglo-Saxon, Latin, Greek, French, and many others. This complex etymology has given English a unique flexibility and expressiveness. The author traces the development of English from its origins in the Anglo-Saxon period to its current status as a global lingua franca. Along the way, he discusses the major changes that have occurred in English grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary over time. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and structure of the English language. It is also a fascinating read for anyone who loves language and wants to learn more about the origins of the words we use every day.
