Pages : 77
Book Description
'On English Homophones' by Robert Bridges is an insightful analysis of the English language's over 800 ambiguous sounds, which make for a clumsy and imperfect instrument for communication. Bridges notes that while we have grown accustomed to the vast number of homophones in the language, they still pose a radical mischief to its scientific and convenient usage. Through his use of examples, such as the word "beam," Bridges demonstrates how different meanings of the same word can make practical homophones, leading to absurdities that we are no longer aware of. This work is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of language and communication.
Homophones and Homographs
Author: Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476603936

Pages : 861
Book Description
This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail--although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.
