Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

It seems the invariable tendency of any complicated system of linguistic forms, when made a subject of study, to cut itself off from the living processes which gave rise to it, and become in the student's mind mere matter, an arbitrary thing-in-itself, dead and meaningless. The danger of this tendency has been abundantly recognized in recent text-books of English grammar and composition, which have attempted by various methods to recall the meaning to the form, to re-connect the word on the page with the thought which created it and the situation which shaped and modified it.

Among these attempts the present treatise must be enrolled. It can claim no great originality of conception, since its fundamental postulates of the social function and the organic structure of language have been long familiar to advanced students of philosophy and linguistics. The practical application of these fundamental postulates to the concrete problems of language-teaching is, however, not yet complete. Continued experimentation to this end, in the fields both of grammar and of composition, must be fruitful not only for more vital teaching, but for a sounder pedagogic theory of these subjects.

The desire to treat language-form throughout as directly conditioned by language-function, will explain the order of subjects adopted.
