On The Study Of Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419138850)

""On The Study Of Words"" is a book written by Richard C. Trench that explores the meaning, usage, and history of words in the English language. Trench takes a deep dive into the etymology of words, tracing their origins and development over time, and provides insightful commentary on their usage and evolution. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of language, such as synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms. Trench's writing is accessible and engaging, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in the study of language or looking to improve their vocabulary. Overall, ""On The Study Of Words"" is a fascinating exploration of the intricacies of the English language and its evolution over time.But a caution is necessary here. We must not regard as certain in every case, or indeed in most cases, that the first rise of a word will have exactly consented in time with its first appearance within the range of our vision. Such identity will sometimes exist; and we may watch i the actual birth of some word, and may affirm with confidence that at such a time and on such an occasion it first saw the light--in this book, or from the lips of that man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
