This is a collection of 37 of the most important, enduring, and
influential essays by one of the great linguists of this century,
gathered from a wide range of journals and books spanning four
decades.
English Vocabulary Elements draws on the tools of modern
linguistics to help students acquire an effective understanding of
learned, specialized, and scientific vocabulary. This fully refined
and updated edition helps develop familiarity with over 500 Latin
and Greek word elements in English and shows how these roots are
the building blocks within thousands of different words. Along the
way, the authors introduce and illustrate many of the fundamental
concepts of linguistics, sketch word origins going back to Latin,
Greek, and even Proto-Indo-European, and discuss issues around
meaning change and correct usage. Moreover, the volume adds new
illustrative examples, self-help tests, and study questions. A
companion website provides supplementary materials including an
Instructor's Manual with an answer key. Offering a thorough
approach to the expansion of vocabulary, English Vocabulary
Elements is an invaluable resource that provides students a deeper
understanding of the language.
