Omschrijving

On The English Language: Past And Present, written by Richard Chenevix Trench in 1860, is a comprehensive study of the history and evolution of the English language. Trench, who was a renowned linguist and philologist, explores the origins of English, its development over time, and its relationship with other languages.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the English language. Trench begins by tracing the roots of English back to its Germanic origins, examining the influence of Latin and French on the language, and exploring the impact of the Renaissance on English literature.Throughout the book, Trench provides numerous examples of how the English language has evolved over time, including changes in pronunciation, spelling, and grammar. He also discusses the role of dialects and regional variations in shaping the language, and the impact of social and cultural factors on its development.In addition to its historical and linguistic insights, On The English Language: Past And Present offers a wealth of literary analysis, with Trench examining the works of Shakespeare, Milton, and other prominent writers to illustrate the evolution of the English language and its use in literature.Overall, On The English Language: Past And Present is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the English language, as well as its cultural and literary significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
