  • From Abominable to Zealous
    ENGLISH From Abominable to Zealous A comparison of British usage guides th from the early 20 century till today Måns Jonsson Supervisor: Larisa Gustafsson Oldireva BA thesis Examiner: Spring 2014 Joe Trotta Title: From Abominable to Zealous: A comparison of British usage guides from the early 20th century till today. Author: Måns Jonsson Supervisor: Larisa Gustafsson Oldireva Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the views on linguistic phenomena which have been criticised during the past century. The material used is six British usage guides published between 1906 and 2010 in which five controversial points of usage are selected for study. They are: between you and I (instead of me), split infinitives, the placement of only in a sentence, singular none, and different(ly) to/than (instead of from). The attitudes to these phenomena are analysed and compared. The analysis is focused on the language used by the authors and descriptive and prescriptive elements displayed in the guides. The results show that although there are differences between the usage guides, there is no clearly distinct trend in diachronic changes of attitudes within the studied period. However, some points of usage are approached with uniform attitudes by all the guides. The character of descriptive discourse does not seem to change in one direction across the century under study, but observable contrasts in recent discussions on the controversial issues of usage point to the possibility of a new wave of prescriptivism. Keywords: Usage guides, stigmatised language, diachronic change, prescriptivism, descriptivism, linguistic prestige, attitudes to correctness. Table of contents 1.

  • The Development of Standards of English
    The Development of Standards of English Raymond Hickey English Linguistics Campus Essen John Walker (1732-1807) Thomas Sheridan (1719-1788) Robert Lowth (1710-1787) Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English in 18th century Britain The rise of prescriptivism and the development of the standard of English in 18th-century Britain: Dictionaries, grammars and works on elocution (the art of public speaking, later of accepted pronunciation) appeared in the second half of the 18th century. They were intended to fix the public usage of English. Some of these works are shown in the following table and more information on four of the major authors is given below. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer and lexicographer. Johnson was a major critic and scholar who was known both for his brilliant conversation and the quality of his writing. As a man of letters his influence on literature inhis day and later periods was considerable. His significance for linguistics lies in the fact that he compiled the first major monolingual dictionary of English, his Dictionary of the English language (1755),which was a model for all future lexicographers. The legacy of Samuel Johnson Johnson’s dictionary became the standard work of English lexicography because of its range, objectivity and use of quotations from major authors to back up definitions given. It was not until over a century later that it was superseded by the dictionary which was to become the Oxford English Dictionary. A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles A proposal was made by Richard Trench in 1857 to the Philological Society to design a new dictionary which would serve as a definitive work on the vocabulary of English with complete historical coverage.

  • A Word with Pizzazz!
    11 Learn when and how to enrich your prose with foreign words P55 pizzazz [pɪzˈæz ] [uncountable] informal something that has pizzazz is exciting and has a strong interesting style: A word with pizzazz! MAY 1ST, 2007 Q: Oh, how I would love to know where the expression “full of pizzazz” comes from! The phrase itself is full of pizzazz! Is it a Boston thing? Is it a 1940s and 1950s expression? A: The noun “pizzazz” (also spelled “pizazz” and “pazazz”) originated in the 1910s and originally meant an expert or an exemplar, according to Cassell’s Dictionary of Slang. (This was news to me too!) In the 1920s, the meaning evolved into style, glamour, or ostentation. By the 1930s, it was being used to mean energy or zest. I’d guess this is the meaning in the expression “full of pizzazz.” The word’s etymology is unknown, though the Oxford English Dictionary says it’s frequently attributed to Diana Vreeland, the late fashion maven. (Cassell’s Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins is duBious about the Vreeland attribution.) The OED’s first published reference is from Harper’s Bazaar in 1937, the year Vreeland arrived at the magazine as a columnist. Here’s the citation: “Pizazz, to quote the editor of the Harvard Lampoon, is an indefinable dynamic quality, the je ne sais quoi of function; as for instance, adding Scotch puts pizazz in a drink.” Although its origin is unknown, “pizzazz” has echoes in “razzle” (a spree or a good time) and “razzmatazz” (showy, high-class, or an exclamation of pleasure).

He is remarkably noncritical of the double negative "I don't want no trouble" , concluding, "the use of double or cumulative negation for emphasis is taken to be a certain indication of poor education and of linguistic deficit. The two words were for a long time interchangeable. The new longer essays are also informative and valuable; those on suffixes added to proper names Kafka esque , Dicken sian and on "proper terms" collective names for animals such as a herd of cattle, an exaltation of larks, a trip of widgeon are particularly welcome. Onions and G. As in Fowler, the majority of the entries are not concerned with usage conflicts per se; they list pronunciations, advise on correct or at least usual spellings, define uncommon words and differentiate similar pairs, give plurals, place accents. There are occasional examples of exclusively American issues, such as the expression of a "not that difficult of a problem". Homo is called "an informal abbreviation of homosexual ," but the potential offensiveness is not mentioned. Prescriptive books sell by tapping into our fear of seeming ignorant; few people will -- or should -- accept an argument that between you and I is standard English, as one scholarly journal proposed recently.
