  • On Etymological Insults
    Michael Moore On Etymological Insults Can etymology benefit anyone? Philologists, philosophers and others have spilt gallons of ink over the value of etymological inquiries throughout the ages. We can learn something about the attitude of the ancients toward this issue from the etymology of etymology: “true meaning”. In this age of post-modernist constructivism we view with skepticism such strivings after truth. Indeed, how does it serve contemporary speakers that his clients boycotted Captain Boycott (Irish land agent, d. 1897), but that nobody lynched William Lynch (American vigilante, d. 1820). Or that nowadays one does not need wooden clogs (sabots in 19th century France) to throw into the machinery in order to commit sabotage? And what about popular etymologies (which we could paraphrase as the wrong true meanings of certain words; see de Saussure, 1915/1966, pp. 173-176), whose exposure shows that crayfish have as little to do with fish (from Old French crevice) as Jerusalem artichokes have with Israel’s capital (gira-sole, Italian, meaning "turns toward the sun", related to the common sunflower). The Hebrew Bible provides many additional examples, explaining that Babel (from Akkadian bab-ilu "Gate of God") derives from the Hebrew root b.l.l., confuse (Genesis 11:9), or that Moses' name means "drawn out of the water" (based on the Hebrew root m.sh.h.; Exodus 2:10) rather than on the far more likely Egyptian word mes, mesu 'child, son,' as in Ra-mses (see also Kedar-Kopfstein, 1963). Though etymologies may not have much scientific value, looking into the distant past of Keywords: etymology, ethnocentrism, xenophobia ∏#¡ ¬–√ ⁄ Ω#…—“ ⁄ "åÍ~î" «Ω“»— ⁄ E 25 ⁄ Michael Moore some words provides at the least entertainment, and sometimes even insight.

RASHID KHAN2 1Research Supervisor Professor Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University Bhagalpur 2Research Scholar Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University Bhagalpur ABSTRACT The expression “Art of Shakespeare” has led to innumerable discussion. The band of critics maintains that there was nobody as Shakespeare, ever-green star of genre. The mysterious personality was a handsome well-shaped person, fine company, and of a ready and pleasant smooth wit. He was extremely lovable, fervent talker kind considerate, everyone realized perfectly at home in his company. The present paper throws light , how could a simple and unlettered man as Shakespeare could be an author of such wonderful plays .How his unique style his diction with wisdom has brought a revolution in English literature. In a world where the quality of the art form called "writing" is so frequently said to be hurriedly diminishing, it is essential for scholars of English literature to preserve some studies of the factual classics, such as Shakespeare. Key words: Encouragement, Penetration, Inspiration, revolution, Importance. Introduction and latest discovered words or term have passed We think of Shakespeare as the top writer into day after day usage in English and other in the history of English language literature. But languages3. His style on world literature was during his lifetime London was full of writers, some dubiously superior to any other writer.
