Excerpt from English Words With Native Roots and With Greek, Latin, or Romance Suffixes The following study concerns itself with an interesting by-phase of English linguistic history. My primary aim is to present the material in conveniently classified form. The discussion of the phenomena so presented is not exhaustive. On the contrary, it is merely introductory and suggestive. Practically every writer on the history of the English language has mentioned the fact that English, vastly more than any other tongue, has added foreign suffixes to native words. Even the authors of grammars for secondary schools comment on this. I have not found, however, an adequate collection of the material in respect either to a full word-list or to an approximately complete enumeration of the suffixes involved. The usual procedure is to mention from eight to twenty suffixes with not more than seventy illustrative words. Manifestly the subject is worthy of a fuller treatment than it has received. Hybrid words, objects of puristic scorn, hold an important place in spoken and written language today. Literally hundreds of them which as yet have not been corralled in the lexicons are used constantly in conversation, in the newspapers, and in magazines. I noticed not less than seventy-five during the months I was preparing this dissertation. A bootblack is a "shineologist"; a heavy baseball batter is a "sluggist"; a newspaper column reserved for violent crime is the "murderology" section; the pronunciation of New Yorkers is "New Yorkese"; every man locally important enough to promulgate an individual doctrine or cult has his thoughts described by an -ism attached to his name, while his adherents bear his name plus an -ist or an -ite. Once the attention is called to this matter one is astonished at the absolute freedom with which the man in the street no less than his sophisticated fellow in the newspaper office attaches any suffix whatever to any word, slang or erudite, which he happens to use at the moment. Practically all of this is unconscious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The American Language, first published in 1919, is H. L. Mencken's book about the English language as spoken in the United States. Mencken was inspired by "the argot of the colored waiters" in Washington, as well as one of his favorite authors, Mark Twain, and his experiences on the streets of Baltimore. In 1902, Mencken remarked on the "queer words which go into the making of 'United States.'" The book was preceded by several columns in The Evening Sun. Mencken eventually asked "Why doesn't some painstaking pundit attempt a grammar of the American language... English, that is, as spoken by the great masses of the plain people of this fair land?" It would appear that he answered his own question. In the tradition of Noah Webster, who wrote the first American dictionary, Mencken wanted to defend "Americanisms" against a steady stream of English critics, who usually isolated Americanisms as borderline barbarous perversions of the mother tongue. Mencken assaulted the prescriptive grammar of these critics and American "schoolmarms", arguing, like Samuel Johnson in the preface to his dictionary, that language evolves independently of textbooks. The book discusses the beginnings of "American" variations from "English", the spread of these variations, American names and slang over the course of its 374 pages. According to Mencken, American English was more colorful, vivid, and creative than its British counterpart.

From the names of cruise lines and bookstores to an Australian ranch and a nudist camp outside of Atlanta, the word serendipity--that happy blend of wisdom and luck by which something is discovered not quite by accident--is today ubiquitous. This book traces the word's eventful history from its 1754 coinage into the twentieth century--chronicling along the way much of what we now call the natural and social sciences. The book charts where the term went, with whom it resided, and how it fared. We cross oceans and academic specialties and meet those people, both famous and now obscure, who have used and abused serendipity. We encounter a linguistic sage, walk down the illustrious halls of the Harvard Medical School, attend the (serendipitous) birth of penicillin, and meet someone who "manages serendipity" for the U.S. Navy. The story of serendipity is fascinating; that of The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity, equally so. Written in the 1950s by already-eminent sociologist Robert Merton and Elinor Barber, the book--though occasionally and most tantalizingly cited--was intentionally never published. This is all the more curious because it so remarkably anticipated subsequent battles over research and funding--many of which centered on the role of serendipity in science. Finally, shortly after his ninety-first birthday, following Barber's death and preceding his own by but a little, Merton agreed to expand and publish this major work. Beautifully written, the book is permeated by the prodigious intellectual curiosity and generosity that characterized Merton's influential On the Shoulders of Giants. Absolutely entertaining as the history of a word, the book is also tremendously important to all who value the miracle of intellectual discovery. It represents Merton's lifelong protest against that rhetoric of science that defines discovery as anything other than a messy blend of inspiration, perspiration, error, and happy chance--anything other than serendipity.

The book presents the fundamentals of linguistics and the historical survey of languages to the reader without any complication and obscurity. It is a valuable book for students and scholars of linguistics. The author has followed the traditional order of presentation. He begins with the survey of languages of the world, proceeds with the study of phonetic structure, grammatical forms, syntax and morphology, each being the indispensable preliminary to the study of the ensuing one. The book is divided into 38 chapters which gives a detailed and thorough knowledge of the subject on all important issues, such as analogic and semantic changes, cultural, intimate and dialect borrowings and scores of other points related to the subjects. Of these, Chapter 24 - Semantic Change and Chapter 25 - Cultural Borrowings are much palatable. It is in these chapters that the reader can get right away from the mechanics of language and follow the play of human mind. The book is documented with notes, bibliography, table of phonetic symbols and index.
