Автор: Liberman Anatoly Название: Word Origins ... and How We Know Them: Etymology for Everyone ISBN: 0195161475 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780195161472 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 35370.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Millions of people want to know the origin of the words they use. Word columns in daily newspapers and numerous books (The Romance of Words, The Loom of Language, Word for Word, and so forth) attempt tp satisfy their curiosity. Word histories are usually digested like pills: the user is interested in getting well, not in the chemistry of the prescribed medication. Those who send letters to the Editor also want a straight answer withoutbothering about how "editors" come by their knowledge. Therefore, they fail to realize that etymologies are seldom definitive and that the science of etymology is intensely interesting. Perhaps if someone explained to them that, compared to the drama of words, Hamlet is a light farce, they might develop a more informed attitudetoward philological research and become students of historical linguistics rather than gullible consumers of journalists` pap.
