Excerpt from The Practical Study of Languages: A Guide for Teachers and Learners My examples are taken from a variety of languages, partly to avoid one-sidedness of treatment, partly to interest as many different classes of readers as possible. In discussing methods, I have drawn my illustrations from those books which I know best. The time has not yet come for an historical survey and critical estimate of the vast and increasing literature ...

Excerpt from Primer of Phonetics This book is intended to supply the double want of a new edition of my Handbook of Phonetics and of a concise introduction to phonetics, with especial reference to English and the four foreign languages most studied in this country - French, German, Latin, and Greek. The Handbook of Phonetic was published in 1877 - at a time when the study of phonetics was confined to a few isolated specialists in different c...

It differs from my Primer of Phonetics 367) - to which it will serve as an introduction - not only in being more elementary, more systematically graduated, and more definitely based on the English sound-system, but in being better adapted for self-instruction in other respects as well.

The rig-veda i...

Excerpt from First Middle English Primer: Extracts From the Ancren Riwle and Ormulum The extracts have been carefully chosen not only from a linguistic, but also from a literary and social-historical point of view.
