Pàgina 35 - The consonants are, 6, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, I, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, x, z, and w and y beginning a word or syllable.
Pàgina v - It possesses, through its abundance of free medial tones, — which may be learned, indeed, but which no rules can teach, — the power of expression such as never, perhaps, was attained by any human tongue. Its altogether intellectual and singularly happy foundation and development, has arisen from a surprising alliance between the two noblest languages of antiquity, the German and the Romanesque, the relation of which to each other is well known to be such that the former supplies the material...
Pàgina 97 - Rule II. The final consonant of a monosyllable, if preceded by a single vowel, is doubled before a suffix beginning with a vowel ; as, hat, hatter.
Pàgina vi - English people, to rule, in future times, in a still greater degree, in all the corners of the earth. In richness, sound reason, and flexibility, no modern tongue can be compared with it — not even the German, which must shake off many a weakness before it can enter the lists with the English.
Pàgina 39 - A syllable, in a spoken word, is a word, or so mucli of it as is sounded at once. A syllable, in a written word, is a letter or letters representing a syllable in a spoken word. In the first languages, all words were of one syllable. Syllables are important. Their proper division is by no means an easy matter. I divide the word, agree, into two syllables, a-gree ; but plague is not divided. The word, episcopal, may be divided in two ways, e-pi-sco-pal or e-pisco-pal. Which is the correct division...
Pàgina 109 - Corinth — the guinea, that it was originally coined of gold brought from the African coast so called — camlet that it was woven, at least in' part, of camels' hair. Such lias been the manufacturing progress of England that we now send our calicoes and muslins to India and the East; yet the words give standing witness that we once imported them thence; for calico is from Calicut, and muslin from Moussul, a city in Asiatic Turkey.1
Pàgina 98 - The final consonant of any word, accented on the last syllable and' preceded by a single vowel, is doubled before a suffix beginning with a vowel ; as, occur, occurrence.
Pàgina 30 - Other ways remain to be noticed. The lovers of Greek learning have introduced many Greek words. The progress of arts and sciences has brought in more. Like the Latin, they help to complete the materials of the English language, and make it capable of expressing all the thoughts of all men. NSTRUCTION XV. ENGLISH WORDS. THE words of the English language have swelled to eighty thousand, and present a mixed appearance, somewhat like the American nation. We can almost apply to it the language of wonder...
Pàgina 52 - Words are brought together in speech to express our feelings. We speak of a black berry, a black bird, a red bird. Words are also joined, and form, new ones. This is the COMPOSITION of words. Fox-hunter, sea-sick, black-bird, and father-land, are formed by composition. The composition of words is the union of two or more words to form a new one. The word, thus formed, is called a compound one ; and the words from which it is formed, are known as simple words. A simple word is one that is not combined...
Pàgina 109 - England that we now send our calicoep and muslins to India and the east ; yet the words give standing witness that we once imported them thence ; for "calico" is from Calicut, and "muslin" from Moussul, a city in Asiatic Turkey.
