Synopsis
Excerpt from First Steps in Anglo-Saxon
IN my anglo-saxon Primer I tried to make things easy for the beginner by adopting a uniform normalized spelling, by giving only a few texts of the simplest character, and by basing the grammar and glossary exclusively on these texts, so that everything learnt in the grammar might be at once utilized in reading the texts, and the time and trouble of looking up words be reduced to a minimum.
But although the Primer is perfectly well suited for those students who have already had some linguistic training especially those who know German - there are others for whom a rigorous grammar-and-glossary method is too abstract, and whose memories will not bear the strain of having to master a grammar of some length before proceeding to the texts.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the ancient Anglo-Saxon language. The author employs a unique approach that sets this book apart from more technical language learning guides: grammatical explanations and vocabulary exercises are woven into entertaining texts that illustrate language use in everyday life. The author selected texts that best exemplify the evolution of Anglo-Saxon: from astronomy and religious instruction to riddles and epic poetry. These are not mere samples of the language; the author molds them into engaging narratives with continuity and characters that will captivate readers. By presenting grammar and vocabulary in context, this book does more than explain the language; the reader experiences it. This book's systematic and contextual approach will prove valuable to learners of Old English as well as historians, linguists, and anyone interested in language learning and evolution. 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 # 9781528540803_0
