Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the evolution of all languages, from the most ancient to the ones spoken in the modern era. The author, a leading linguist, has analyzed the meaning of the 24 letters of the English alphabet and many other languages to uncover the etymological origin of words. By traveling backward from today's complex words to the simplest sounds and syllables, this book demonstrates that all words originally contained a very different, and surprisingly good, meaning. By delving into the science of words, this book uncovers a rich trove of knowledge, which can change our understanding of not just language but also of history and philosophy. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282034580_0
