Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of compound words in the English language. It begins by laying out the criteria for distinguishing between compounds, syntactical word groups, and derivatives. The author then examines the historical development of compound words, tracing their origins from Old English to Modern English. The author delves into the different ways in which compound words are formed, including obscured compounds, which are words that are no longer readily recognisable as compounds. They also discuss the influence of factors such as stress, vowel reduction, and consonant assimilation on the formation of compounds. The author provides a thorough analysis of the different types of compound words, including strong compounds (those that exhibit formal isolation) and weak compounds (those that do not). They also discuss the factors that influence the choice of one type of compound over another, such as the frequency and familiarity of the component parts. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development and use of compound words in English, making it an invaluable resource for linguists, philologists, and anyone interested in the history of the English language. The author's insights shed light on the complex and dynamic nature of language, and the ways in which words are constantly evolving to meet the needs of communication. 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.
