Synopsis
Excerpt from Every-Day Errors of Speech
Speak English? One might appropriately, sans the profanity, reply in the language of the text, Not as you pronounce it: Who the deuce could? While the majority of people place no other value upon language than that of convenience, and are indiffer ent to any corruption, so long as they can simply understand and be understood, there is happily a better class, the aesthetic cultivation of which is such that those who belong to it are anxious to preserve the purity of our vernacular and are ashamed of all errors of Speech in their daily conversations. For such it will not be uninteresting to look over a num ber of errors, principally of pronunciation, that are not formally laid down as such in books, and which people, even many of the best educated, are con stantly committing, just because they have never had their attention called to them. These errors are be coming more deeply rooted every day, and if not soon eradicated, it will not be many years beforc our orthoepic standard will be overthrown as it was in England some years ago.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book demonstrates how language evolves over time through everyday usage. The author focuses primarily on the English language, the rules that govern it, and the ways that it has intentionally and unintentionally changed over time. Many of the commonly known rules of this language are not actually rules at all, and the author uses this as a launching point to reveal how the language has been corrupted over time due to factors such as slang, regional dialects, and different pronunciations. Readers will learn that many of the errors they have been taught to avoid are actually widely accepted and are more reflective of the true nature of the language, leading to a new appreciation for the flexibility of the English language. 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 9781332011643_0
