Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the development of the English language, touching on the influence of ancient languages and dialects, including Greek, Gothic, Latin, British, and French. The author argues that the so-called "vulgar" language of the London Cockneys is not a corruption of the English language, but rather a preservation of its original form, containing words and expressions that have fallen out of use in more refined dialects. The author provides numerous examples to support their theory, showing that many words considered vulgar are in fact relics of a more ancient and legitimate form of English. The book includes an analysis of the etymology of various words and phrases revealing the history of the words and their original meanings. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the English language, particularly those interested in the evolution of dialects and the preservation of older forms of speech. 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 r�f. du vendeur 9781330420867_0
