Alphabet Juice pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

Did you know that both mammal and matter derive from baby talk? Have you noticed how wince makes you wince? Ever wonder why so many h-words have to do with breath? Roy Blount Jr. certainly has, and after forty years of making a living using words in every medium, print or electronic, except greeting cards, he still can't get over his ABCs. In "Alphabet Juice", he celebrates the electricity, the juju, the sonic and kinetic energies, of letters and their combinations. Blount does not prescribe proper English. The franchise he claims is 'over the counter.' Three and a half centuries ago, Thomas Blount produced "Blount's Glossographia", the first dictionary to explore derivations of English words. This "Blount's Glossographia" takes that pursuit to other levels, from Proto-Indo-European roots to your epiglottis. It rejects the standard linguistic notion that the connection between words and their meanings is "arbitrary." Even the word arbitrary is shown to be no more arbitrary, at its root, than go-to guy or crackerjack. From sources as venerable as the OED (in which Blount finds an inconsistency, at whisk) and as fresh as Urbandictionary.com (to which Blount has contributed the number-one definition of 'alligator arm'), and especially from the author's own wide-ranging experience, "Alphabet Juice" derives an organic take on language that is unlike, and more fun than, any other.
