| adam_text | This practical introduction to word history
investigates every aspect of where words
come from and how they change. Philip
Durkin, chief etymologist of the Oxford
English Dictionary, shows how different
types of evidence can shed light on the
myriad ways in which words change in
form and meaning. He considers how such
changes can be part of wider linguistic
processes, or be influenced by a complex
mixture of social and cultural factors. He
illustrates every point with a wide range
of fascinating examples.
Dr
Durkin investigates folk etymology
and other changes which words undergo
in everyday use. He shows how language
families are established, how words in
different languages can have a common
ancester, and the ways in which the latter
can be distinguished from words introduced
through language contact. He examines the
etymologies of the names of people and
places. His focus is on English but he draws
many examples from languages such as
French, German, and Latin which cast
light on the pre-histories of English words.
The Oxford Guide to Etymology is reliable,
readable, instructive, and enjoyable.
Everyone interested in the history of words
will value this account of an endlessly
fascinating subject.
