About this title

Synopsis

Explore the English language from its roots to its rules with a landmark grammar by Maetzner.

This translated work offers a comprehensive, methodical study of English, tracing how sounds, forms, and meaning shape everyday speech. It weaves history, philology, and practical analysis into a single, accessible reference for serious learners and students of language.

This edition introduces the full scope of the original: a thorough look at the word as a system of sounds (prosody), the origin and behavior of vowels and consonants, and the way words change form across grammar. It also surveys how nouns, adjectives, numerals, and other parts of speech inflect and interact, with attention to historical development and cross‑linguistic insight. The author’s translational approach aims to preserve precise terminology while clarifying complex ideas for English readers.
What you will experience

A clear framework for how English words are built and pronounced, from vowels to consonants and syllables.
An organized guide to the parts of speech and their inflection, including noun, adjective, and numeral behavior.
Insight into word formation, prefixes, compounding, and the evolution of forms through history.
A scholarly yet accessible exploration of how linguistic ideas relate to Modern English usage.

Ideal for readers of linguistics, philology, and advanced grammar who want a careful, historical, and analytical perspective on the English language.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
