The -author believes that he has presented, simply and logically, the topics that relate directly to the facts of the language, and to the laws of its structure. The Sentence is taken as the fundamental unit, and all separate words or combinations of words, as only parts of this whole. Words and phrases, taken by themselves, are only fractional; but, thrown into the form of a proposition, they assume an organic relation, and the value of each is judged by reference to its yokefellows. The Parts of Speech are defined inductively. Particular instances are held in the foreground as the basis; and, as far as possible, the concrete examples are allowed to tell their own tale. Generalization is thus mainly left as an effect of these on the mind of the pupil. Instead of being exhausted in all its relations, the subdivision of each Part of Speech is separately discussed before the peculiar process of Inflection is begun. Nor can the distinct and important operations placed under Inflection obtain the prominence they deserve unless exhibited apart. No canon of teaching is of greater consequence in conveying grammatical information than the doing of one thing at a time.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive and practical approach to understanding the English language. Delving into the history of the language, the author traces its evolution from its Anglo-Saxon roots through the influence of Norman French and the subsequent infusion of Latin and Greek words. The author skillfully examines the building blocks of language ââ â the alphabet and its symbols ââ â and then delves into the fundamental unit of speech: the sentence. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding how words function within the sentence, carefully explaining the eight Parts of Speech, their various classes and sub-classes, and how their meaning can shift depending on their context. Throughout, the author stresses the logic and structure inherent in English, challenging the traditional approach to grammar which often obscures this underlying order. By carefully analyzing phrases and clauses, the author illuminates the complex and subtle ways that meaning is constructed in the English language. This book offers a unique and valuable guide for those seeking a deeper understanding of the grammar and structure of English. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
