Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Preface. The object of this treatise is to elucidate some questions concerning the influence.which French or rather A nglo-N orman -the usual name for the French dialect spoken in England -has exercised on English place-names. A detailed account of the various kinds of this influence would fill the pages of several volumes. In the present work I have only considered a number of sound-changes in English place-names which cannot be explained otherwise than as due to A nglo-N orman influence. Here, again, I have mainly confined myself to dealing with such cases where the phonetic criteria do not admit of any doubt as to the cause of the change, and where, moreover, some of the forms due to A nglo-N orman influence have remained to the present day. I do not presume to have definitely solved all the more or less intricate problems involved in these investigations; I hope, however, that my work may contribute to arouse an increased interest in the (sad to say) much neglected study of English place-names in general and in particular of French influence upon them.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of English place names, exploring the profound influence that the French language, particularly the Anglo-Norman dialect, exerted on their evolution. It meticulously examines a multitude of sound changes that occurred in English place names, arguing that these shifts can only be explained as a consequence of Anglo-Norman influence. The author, a dedicated scholar of English philology, painstakingly presents a wealth of early spellings and etymologies, meticulously tracing the development of place names from Old English through Middle English and into their current forms. The book's analysis extends beyond simple sound substitution, exploring the impact of Anglo-Norman sound development on English place names and the ways in which the two languages interacted and evolved within the context of the Norman Conquest and the subsequent centuries. Through a detailed examination of early records, including charters, feudal documents, and even French chronicles, the author reveals the complex interplay of language, culture, and history that shaped English place names. The book's insights offer a valuable glimpse into the linguistic and social dynamics of medieval England, revealing how the Norman presence left a lasting imprint on the very names that define the English landscape. 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 9781331933236_0
