Description du livre Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The Old and Middle English is written by Thomas Laurence Kington Oliphant of Balliol College, a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England. Oliphant identified the increasing importance of studying the origins of modern-day English and wrote this text on the written and oral forms of Old English as an attempt to educate and inform modern speakers. A compendium of language, this book provides nearly three thousand English words and phrases for the reader to learn and relate to their contemporary counterparts. This book provides a very in-depth analysis of the modern English language based on written and spoken roots in Old and Middle English. Oliphant brings the reader's attention to what he believes to be the origin of English and emphasizes parallels between this early speech and other world languages such as Sanskrit, Latin, and Greek. Oliphant also provides evidence of Old and Middle English through a variety of sources, even citing famous literary pieces written in Old English such as Beowulf to illuminate his argument. In addition to providing a range of verbs, adjectives, participles, and nouns from Old English and Middle English for the reader to peruse, Oliphant discusses the growth from Old English to Middle and then modern English that begins with the singular event of the Roman Christian conquest of Britain. The Old and Middle English by Thomas Laurence Kington Oliphant is an engaging book about the origins and growth of the English language in Britain. This book is a great resource for scholars of language and linguists with a particular interest in English and Britain. This publication is also interesting for historians, as Oliphant also cites historic changes in Britain that ultimately affect the spoken and written language of British peoples. print-on-demand item.
