Présentation de l'éditeur
English translation of myS tudier over Engelske Kasns, vied cn I ndledning: Fremskridt iS proget, which was submitted to the University of Copenhagen in February, 1891, as a dissertation for the Ph. D. degree, and appeared in print in A pril of that year. In preparing this English edition I have, however, altered my book so materially as to make it in many respects an entirely new work.1 In the first place, what was originally only an introductory essay has been enlarged and made the principal part of the book, as already indicated by the altered title. Consequently, I could only retain those chapters of the special investigation on the history of English cases which had some bearing on the central idea of Progress in Language, viz., chs. vi. and vii. (formerly i. and ii., on the I he small numbers in parentheses refer to the paragraphs of theD anish book ;they will enable the reader to judge of the changes made in revising the work for this edition.

Progress in Language: With Special Reference to English (Classic Reprint)

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book posits that the foundation of language lies in meaningful action and linguistic growth stems from man's desire to make himself understood. Through an analysis of the development of languages, particularly English, the author argues that there is a historical tendency for languages to evolve from complex and cumbersome structures to simpler, more economical forms. The author believes that this simplification process is driven by the desire for efficiency and precision in communication. The book examines specific examples of this linguistic evolution, such as the shift from synthetic to analytic structures, the loss of grammatical gender distinctions, and the introduction of more abstract concepts. The author concludes that the development of language is inextricably linked to the development of human thought and that the trend towards simplification reflects the increasing sophistication and refinement of our understanding of the world. 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 9781330265482_0
