Synopsis

Historical Outlines of English Syntax is a book written by Leon Kellner and first published in 1892. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of English syntax from Old English to Modern English. Kellner's approach is historical and descriptive, focusing on the changes that have occurred in the language over time. The book covers topics such as word order, sentence structure, and the use of prepositions, conjunctions, and other grammatical elements. Kellner also discusses the influence of Latin and other languages on English syntax. The book is intended for scholars and students of English language and linguistics, as well as anyone interested in the history of the English language. Despite being over a century old, the book remains a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of English syntax.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume is intended to accompany the Historical Outlines of English Accidence by Dr. Morris. But for this, I should have preferred to call it Lessons in English Syntax implying thereby that I do not pretend to (or aim at) completeness of detail, but have rather contented myself with giving principles of English Syntax, and with picking out from among the infinity of syntactical facts, those that seemed most interesting and worthy of note. I selected first those idioms which struck me as out of the common in old and modem texts, and from these I chose such as seemed noteworthy from the standpoints of psychology, historical development, and comparative grammar. I did not think it advisable to swell the book by giving detailed accounts of every preposition and conjunction ;both these parts of speech are fully dealt with in theD ictionaries, and in the well-known works of Matzner, Koch, Dr. A bbott, Einenkel, and Mr. T. L. Kington Oliphant.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
