Book Description
Excerpt from Thado Grammar The language belongs to the tibeto-burman group, and has been assigned by Dr. Grierson (from whom I have received very valua ble help and advice) to the new Kuki division of that group. It has, therefore, affinities with languages so far apart as Garo and Kachin It is connected, though not directly, with Methe, the language of the Manipuris. I do not know whether the development of these languages has proceeded on divergent lines, but it is certain that, while a large and an increasing number of Kukis understand Manipuri, a very fair proportion, especially those who by reason of their seclusion in the more distant hills of the State have not been brought into close contact with Manipuris, do not understand it. I mention this because Lieutenant Stewart declares that most of them understand Manipuri. The language possesses no written character, and, bwing to the fact that the advance into the hills of the authority of the British Government has removed the dread of external enemies which has in the past produced homogeneous communities of a fair size, a centrifugal tendency is now manifest which is sure to react on the stability of the language. Lieutenant Stewart in his Notes on Northern Cachar, published in has preserved a fragment of an old song which at that time was intelligible to the people. These songs have now ceased to possess a definite meaning, though tradition preserves a general. Idea of their contents. The extract is, unfortunately, not long enough to enable us to draw any very satisfactory conclusions as to the nature of the changes to which the language has in that interval of time been subjected. Nevertheless, from the extract as well as from his grammatical notes, it is abundantly clear that the language is becoming less nasal.

A Brief English Grammar (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 200
Book Description
Excerpt from A Brief English Grammar Since this book is designed for the pupil rather than for the teacher, all suggestions as to the teaching of English grammar have been conveyed rather by implication than by specific recommendation. The text itself is, however, designed to indicate a general method of presentation, vari able in detail at the will of the individual teacher. Each chapter, it will be evident, presents not the material for any fixed number of class recitations, but rather a single subject, divisible according to the available time, the capacity of the students, and other practical considerations. These conditions will necessarily determine the particular assign ment for any given recitation; but they should not be al lowed to destroy the essential unity of a subject. The summary and definitions following each lesson may well be used by the teacher to test the students' knowledge of that subject as a whole. Passages printed in brevier are supple mentary and subordinate in importance, and hence may be used or omitted at discretion. The questions and exercises are suggestive merely, inviting both modification and sup plement by the teacher.

Excerpt from The Grammar of the English Language Hence the importance of language that, while giving vent to the thoughts, materially subserves the purpose Of their expansion. Hence, too, the utility of Grammar, which, while it acts the part Of a regulator to language, extends its corrective influence to the thoughts themselves inasmuch as he who learns to speak and write correctly, learns also, at the same time, to think correctly.

Excerpt from A Grammar of the English Language Without altering the text to any appreciable extent, they have removed many of the notes scattered through the book. These notes, purely explanatory, while of great value to the teacher, are of little value to the learner. They have deemed it advisable to accustom the pupil to the phraseology of Analysis at an early stage of the study of Grammar, and, accordingly, examples bearing upon that subject have been introduced Where necessary.
