This volume, first published in 1960 to commemorate the one hundredth birthday of Jespersen, collects together as many of his writings as possible in order to allow students of the English language, or indeed of language in general, to read those shorter papers which have hitherto escaped their notice. The layout of the book largely follows the nature of the subjects dealt with: English grammar, phonetics, history of English, language teaching, language in general, international language and miscellaneous papers.

This study grew out of a series of lectures Jespersen gave at Columbia
University in 1909-10, called "An Introduction to English Grammar."
It is the connected presentation of Jespersen's views of the general
principles of grammar based on years of studying various languages
through both direct observation of living speech and written and
printed documents.
" "The Philosophy of Grammar" and "Analytic Syntax"] set
forth the most extensive and original theory of universal grammar
prior to the work of Chomsky and other generative grammarians of the
last thirty years."--Arne Juul and Hans F. Nielsen, in "Otto "
"Jespersen: Facets of His Life and Work"
"Besides being one of the most perceptive observers and original
thinkers that the field of linguistics has ever known, Jespersen was
also one of its most entertaining writers, and reading "The "
"Philosophy of Grammar" is fun. Read it, enjoy it."--James D.
McCawley, from the Introduction
Otto Jespersen (1860-1943), an authority on the growth and structure
of language, was the Chair of the English Department at the University
of Copenhagen. Among his many works are "A Modern English "
"Grammar" and "Analytic Syntax," the latter published by the
University of Chicago Press.
