This new edition is concerned primarily with the learned vocabulary
of English - the words borrowed from the classical languages. It
surveys the historical events that define the layers of vocabulary
in English, introduces some of the basic principles of linguistic
analysis, and is a helpful manual for vocabulary discernment and
enrichment. The new edition has been updated with a discussion of
the most recent trends of blending and shortening associated with
texting and other forms of electronic communication and includes a
new classification of the types of allomorphy. It discusses
important topics such as segment sonority and the historical
shifting of long vowels in English, and includes a new section on
Grimm's law, explaining some of the more obscure links between
Germanic and Latinate cognates. Exercises accompany each chapter
and an online workbook contains readings and exercises to
strengthen knowledge acquired in the classroom.
