Description
Henry Sweet’s ‘A New English Grammar Logical and Historical’ is a monumental work in linguistic scholarship, presented in two comprehensive volumes. This systematic study approaches English grammar through both logical principles and historical development, offering readers a deeper understanding of the language’s structure and evolution.
The first part focuses on phonology and accidence, examining the sound system and word formation of English. Sweet’s meticulous analysis traces how English words are constructed and pronounced, providing insights into the rules governing these fundamental aspects of language. The second part delves into syntax, exploring how words combine to form meaningful sentences and larger linguistic units.
Originally a groundbreaking scholarly work, this edition from Gyan Publishing House preserves Sweet’s rigorous methodology and detailed observations. The dual approach—examining both the logical framework and historical context—makes this an invaluable resource for linguistics students, English scholars, and anyone seeking comprehensive understanding of English grammar’s foundations.
