This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Focusing on the evolution of Germanic languages, this book comprehensively analyzes a particular semasiologic differentiation in sound and meaning relationships in secondary ablaut sets that emerged over centuries of language evolution. The author traces the roots of these sets to older IE forms and demonstrates how phonetic changes, analogy, and sound symbolism contributed to their distinctive qualities. The book shows how sets of words with different vowel qualities systematically developed differentiated meanings. For example, sets like NHG knibbern, knabbern, knabbern, all related to gnawing, are differentiated by vowel height: the high vowel of knibbern indicates a high-pitched noise, while the lower vowels of knabbern and knabbern indicate lower-pitched noises and larger objects. These differences reflect a general principle of sound symbolism found in human languages, where high-pitched vowels often represent smaller, sharper objects or sounds while lower vowels represent larger, duller objects or sounds. The work provides valuable insights into the complexities of historical sound change and the ways in which semantic and phonetic developments interact in language evolution. 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 9781333401832_0
