A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This investigation deals with the words for the body and its parts in the later Germanic dialects. I ts object is to show how these words came to have their present meaning, rather than to show the original meaning. The method of procedure is to place beside each word under consideration a group of related words from the same dialect and from other dialects, in order to exhibit the primary meaning from which came the present meanings of the words in the group. Thus is shown the development of the use of a certain word as a name (usually a descriptive term) for a part of the body. Those words for the body or its parts which were treated by Arnoldson (cf. Sources) have been omitted from this study. Frequent reference is made to his work. The reader will observe often the abbreviation (W.) in the following pages. This will give some idea, but not a sufficient one, of the large aid given through inspiration and helpful criticism by Professor Francis A. Wood, of the University of Chicago. Quotations are made from his published works and unpublished notes.
