Blends: Their Relation To English Word Formation is a book written by Louise Pound in 1914.

Pound examines the history and usage of blends, as well as their role in English word formation. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of blends, such as their phonetic structure, their relationship to slang and jargon, and their use in advertising. Pound also provides numerous examples of blends used in everyday speech and writing, and discusses their impact on the English language. Overall, Blends: Their Relation To English Word Formation is a comprehensive exploration of a unique aspect of the English language, and is a valuable resource for linguists, scholars, and anyone interested in the history and evolution of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
