Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A close study of endings.Fredrik Gadde tracks the history and use of the suffixes -ery (-ry), -age and -ment in English with uncommon precision and readable authority. This English linguistics study offers both historical linguistics analysis and a practical suffix usage reference; Gadde shows how small morphological choices shape meaning and style, tracing the development of English suffixes and the patterns of word formation in English. Methodologically, Gadde balances etymology and usage, offering clear exemplars of lexical change and measured comparative comment. The prose remains brisk and exact, suited to specialist reference and to leisurely browsing by anyone intrigued by how words evolve. The narrative is scholarly but approachable, making the morphology of the English language intelligible to newcomers while remaining rigorous enough for specialists. Valuable as an academic linguistics resource and as a linguistics students guide, the work rewards careful study and casual curiosity alike.In form it sits between meticulous scholarship and vivid exposition, and that balance gives the book genuine historical significance. Rooted in nineteenth century English scholarship, the treatment connects micro-level formation to larger themes in the history of English language and situates this study among enduring english morphology books and comparative linguistics texts. Readers interested in etymology, lexicography or period prose will find concise, transportable insight; editors and librarians assembling a focused collection on word formation in English will value its clarity and authority. Teachers may assign portions as a compact case study in morphological change, and seminars in historical linguistics can use its arguments as a tight complement to broader courses. For casual readers, the precise explanations reward curiosity without sacrificing intellectual depth; for collectors, the edition offers both historical cachet and practical reference. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.…
