fascination with words
most of us experience at some point. This book aims both to fuel and to satisfy that
fascination.
The book is based on a course that each of the authors helped to develop at Stanford
University over the past twenty years. The aim of the course was to help students master
English vocabulary and to provide the fundamentals for pursuing an interest in English
words. To this end, the book offers a detailed but introductory survey of the develop¬
ments that have given English a uniquely rich vocabulary, taking into account both the
changing structure of the language and the historical events that shaped the language as
a whole. Anyone who believes that changes in the language are robbing it of its elegance
or expressive power will see this view challenged by the developments described here.
At the core of the book are several hundred vocabulary elements that English bor¬
rowed, directly or indirectly, over the past fifteen hundred years, from Latin and Greek.
These elements, introduced gradually chapter by chapter, provide a key to understand¬
ing the structure and meaning of much of the learned vocabulary of the language.
The chapters trace the history and structure of English words from the sixth century
onward, laying out the major influences that are still observable in our vocabulary
today. Each chapter ends with a large number of exercises. These offer many different
types of practice with the material in the text, making it possible to tailor the work to
different sets of needs and interests.
Upon finishing this textbook, students will be able to penetrate the structure of an
enormous portion of the vocabulary of English, with or without the help of a dictionary,
and to understand better how an individual word fits into the system of the language.
This second edition incorporates improved and refined text as well as examples and
exercises, with thorough revision of pedagogy as a result of the authors significant
classroom-based expertise. The new edition also updates cultural references, accounts
for variations in pronunciation among students, and clarifies when historical details
are important or peripheral.
