A Dictionary of Modern English Usage: the Classic First Edition (Oxford World´s Classics New Ed.)

Popis:

`What grammarians say should be has perhaps less influence on whatshall be than even the more modest of them realize ...` No book hadmore influence on twentieth-century attitudes to the Englishlanguage in Britain than Henry Fowler`s Dictionary of ModernEnglish Usage. It rapidly became the standard work of reference forthe correct use of English in terms of choice of words, grammar,and style. Much loved for his firm opinions, passion, and dryhumour, Fowler has stood the test of time and is still consideredthe best arbiter of good practice. In this new edition of theoriginal Dictionary, David Crystal goes beyond the popularmythology surrounding Fowler`s reputation to retrace his method andarrive at a fresh evaluation of his place in the history oflinguistic thought. With a wealth of entertaining examples he looksat Fowler`s stated principles and the tensions between hisprescriptive and descriptive temperaments. He shows that theDictionary does a great more than make normative recommendationsand express private opinion. In addition he offers a modernperspective on some 300 entries, in which he shows how English haschanged since the 1920s.
