Book Description
Excerpt from An Universal Language, Formed on Philosophical and Analogical Principles The subject of the present work, though of the highest importance, is one which receives but asmall part of the attention of the generality of mankind. Language, notwithstanding its acquisition and im provement occupies a portion of the time of most per sons, from their earliest infancy to advanced age, is yet, as a science, considered worthy the pursuit only of the learned. But as it is said by an eminent au thor, that the study of arranging and expressing our thoughts with propriety, teaches to think, as well as to speak accurately whatever may have a tenden cy to turn the inclination of people toward the melioration of their speech, is entitled to a high con sideration.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1829 edition. Excerpt: ...RULE IV. The vowels in all syllables immediately following the letters of graduation z, s, m, rm, rms, rL, and beginning with y are long. Bonzyin bonzyonpi bpnzsym bonzmyonpi bonzyed bonzrmyad. Rule v. The vowels in the first syllable of the substantive verb, when preceded by y, or by a pronominal letter, followed by y, either when used by itself or subjoined to radices with a graduative letter before it, are long; as also in yzd, no; as, Yonpi, tyinpi, fyanpi, bonzyonpi, bonztywnpi, bonzsr pyenpi. But vowels in syllables subjoined to radices without A graduative letter, are short; as bonyin, bonyonpi, bonyed. RULE VI.

When used in radices or terminations, z being ranked with the secondary vowels, must have, like them, invariably a long sound, that of o in note; but when used as a graduative letter or adjunct, it has always the sound of w in nut, the shortest of all the vowels. See Alphabet. RULE VII. The vowels immediately followed by a consonant or semivowel, even in the plural of verbs, and not jdesignated as in the preceding Rules 11. Hi. Iv. and V. are short. The preceding rules apply also to the terminations 'pf verbs when a negative conjunction is subjoined, the y authorising the preceding syllable to be long, lo make the pronunciation of it more distinct from: he same terminations when subjoined by a positive injunction, which must be short; but negative interjections have not the same effect; as, Legzpinpitya skribpinpidya. ACCENT. Accent is a stress of voice laid on particular syllables, as emphasis is placed on certain words, for the purpose of rendering them more distinctly heard...

Book Description
Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, America was captivated by a muddled notion of "etymology." New England Transcendentalism was only one outcropping of a nationwide movement in which schoolmasters across small-town America taught students the roots of words in ways that dramatized religious issues and sparked wordplay. Shaped by this ferment, our major romantic authors shared the sensibility that Friedrich Schlegel linked to punning and christened "romantic irony." Notable punsters or etymologists all, they gleefully set up as sages, creating jocular masterpieces from their zest for oracular wordplay. Their search for a primal language lurking beneath all natural languages provided them with something like a secret language that encodes their meanings. To fathom their essentially comic masterpieces we must decipher it. Interpreting Thoreau as an ironic moralist, satirist, and social critic rather than a nature-loving mystic, Transcendental Wordplay suggests that the major American Romantics shared a surprising conservatism. In this award-winning study, Professor West rescues the pun from critical contempt and allows readers to enjoy it as a serious form of American humor.

Book Description
Excerpt from Max Muller the Philosophy of Language IN my book on The Origin of Language, ' before proposing my own solution of the great problem, I endeavoured to trace its historical development from the earliest times down to those latest achievements of scientific research upon which my own theory is founded, and without which, indeed, its conception would have been impossible. In this summary, as I have since become aware, I was far from doing justice to the great merits of Max Muller, and the researches by which he has cleared the way for future investigators. And it was to rectify this error that I hastened to publish in a German review (nerd und Sad) an article in which, to the best of my judgment and belief, the 82mm caique was more equally apportioned. The serious importance and wide bearings of the subject have induced me to make this article, in an enlarged form, accessible to the English reader.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Origin and Philosophy of Language It cannot be denied that as an hypothesis of the origin of language there is a good deal Of truth con tained in Herder's statement Of things. The most important points to be noted are, that it (1) explains how a visual image or percept is transformed into the phonetic word; and that (2) it makes the creation of language first appear as attached primarily to single characteristic marks.
