图书标签: 英语 词源 词汇 etymology 英文 英文原版 word vocabulary
The average contemporary English speaker knows 50,000 words. Yet stripped down to its origins, this apparently huge vocabulary is in reality much smaller, derived from Latin, French and the Germanic languages. It is estimated that every year, 800 neologisms are added to the English language: acronyms (nimby), blended words (motel), and those taken from foreign languages (savoir-faire). Laid out in an A-Z format with detailed cross references, and written in a style that is both authoritative and accessible, Word Origins is a valuable historical guide to the English language.
拟声那部分比较好读,普通语言学说能指与所指是任意的,但词源学确立了一些类似偏旁又能指意的音节(sound symbolism)。
评分深入浅出讲词源的一本书,打算从头读到尾,边读自己边整理。 p.s. 买书时,我看亚*马*逊上好多人反映纸质硬、最后几页不清楚,吓得我没买亚*马*逊上九十多元的,买了dang*dang上二百多元的,结果到手一看,我去,纸质又白又硬,最后几页词源树的部分不清晰(但勉强能看清)。但是看着也不像盗版书,我估计正版就是这样的,早知道就不花这冤枉钱了????
