Synopsis

Unlock the building blocks of English words and their history. This guide explains affixes in their true etymologic connections, showing how prefixes and suffixes shape meaning and usage.

Written for students and readers of language alike, it presents a clear framework for understanding how affixes attach to roots. It covers practical questions about origin, form, and function, with examples that illuminate how words evolve across time and influence modern English.

Inside you’ll find a thorough study of more than five hundred affixes, plus notes on spelling, pronunciation, and historical influences. The text they accompany the material uses careful distinctions between primitive words and derivatives, helping you see why certain forms behave the way they do in speech and writing.

• See how prefixes and suffixes connect with roots to create new meanings.


• Learn about etymologic spelling and how it differs from modern usage.


• Explore a broad catalog of affixes with explanations of their roles and history.


• Gain insights into language influences, from Latin and Greek to Welsh, in word formation.

Ideal for readers interested in philology, linguistics, or the study of English word formation, and for anyone who wants a practical grasp of how language grows from its parts.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
