Описание: Millions of people want to know the origin of the words they use. Word columns in daily newspapers and numerous books (The Romance of Words, The Loom of Language, Word for Word, and so forth) attempt tp satisfy their curiosity. Word histories are usually digested like pills: the user is interested in getting well, not in the chemistry of the prescribed medication. Those who send letters to the Editor also want a straight answer withoutbothering about how "editors" come by their knowledge. Therefore, they fail to realize that etymologies are seldom definitive and that the science of etymology is intensely interesting. Perhaps if someone explained to them that, compared to the drama of words, Hamlet is a light farce, they might develop a more informed attitudetoward philological research and become students of historical linguistics rather than gullible consumers of journalists` pap.

Описание: This dictionary lists about 2,000 Coptic words whose etymology has been established from ancient Egyptian and Greek sources, covering two-thirds of the known Coptic vocabulary and complementing W. E. Crum`s 1939 Coptic Dictionary, still the standard in the field.
Описание: How did authors such as Jonson, Donne and Milton think about the past lives of the words they used? Drawing together early modern literature and linguistics, Crawforth argues that the history of English as it was studied in the period radically underpins the writing of its greatest poets.
