This book is an essential resource for those who wish to fully
understand the infinite variety of words in the English Language.
Taking the reader on an historical journey to the origin of the
language, the book tells how conquests of our island, both military
and cultural, have shaped the words that we use today.
Teachers will benefit from the colourful examples of the various
distinctive characteristics of each language group described. A
photocopiable appendix gives a useful list of prefixes and roots
used in scientific words, which will be enlightening for students
of all abilities.
Those working with dyslexic pupils will find this part of the
book particularly helpful. The book concludes by discussing the
benefits and drawbacks brought about by our rich legacy of
vocabulary.
