A Grammar Of Late Modern English; For The Use Of Continental, Especially Dutch, Students (Part Ii) The Parts Of Speech, Section I, B Pronouns And Nume (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354188817)

A precise, scholarly study of pronouns and numerals in Late Modern English. A landmark reference for students. H. Poutsma's Part II of A Grammar of Late Modern English turns an unforgivingly close eye to two small but crucial word classes. Originally prepared for continental, especially Dutch, students, it combines classroom clarity with scholarly reach. This is an indispensable English grammar reference and parts of speech guide, offering a pronouns and numerals study that balances technical description with comparative grammar analysis. English language learners will find systematic explanations, and the volume functions as an advanced grammar for students seeking robust examples and rigorous argument. The emphasis on form, function and cross-linguistic parallels makes the work a compact historical linguistics resource as much as a teaching text. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. First published in the early 20th century, Poutsma's scholarship stands within early 20th century linguistics and the academic grammar series tradition that informed comparative studies across Europe. Its measured analyses and comparative outlook make it equally useful for researchers mapping language change and for instructors requiring a dependable reference in the classroom. The book's sustained attention to form and function rewards slow reading but also serves quick consultation: it is as at home on a scholar's shelf as in the hands of a curious reader. Libraries, philologists and collectors of classic linguistic textbook collection will value this restored edition for both its scholarly content and its cultural importance. For casual readers fascinated by the architecture of English and for classic-literature collectors, this edition offers readable scholarship and the scholarly weight of a restored classic. A welcome addition to any reference shelf.
