Paperback. Etat : Good. The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories describes the origins and sense development of thousands of core words of the English language; dates are given where recorded evidence of use has been found sourced by the ongoing research for the Oxford English Dictionary. Additional word histories outside this core group are included for words with a particularly interesting story to tell and links between words are given where these enhance the picture. A key feature of the book is the inclusion of a large number of well-known idioms with dates of original use with details of how and when they came about, eg happy as a sandboy, say it with flowers. Colourful popular beliefs are explored about words such as posh and snob, while insights are given into our social history revealed by language development, such as the connection in a Roman soldier's mind of salary with salt. The notion of 'relationships' is central and highlights the following: * shared roots (e.g. stare and starve both from a base meaning 'be rigid') * common ancestry (mongrel related to mingle and among) * surprising commonality (wage and wed) * typical formation (blab, bleat, chatter, gibber, all imitative of sounds) * influence by association (cloudscape on the pattern of landscape) * shared wordbuilding elements (hyperspace, hypersonic, hyperlink) with boxed information on the various meanings of the prefix in question. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. N� de r�f. du vendeur GOR005336813
