Synopsis
Why did a Roman soldier connect the word salary with salt? The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories describes the origins and sense development of thousands of core words of the English language; dates are given where recorded evidence of use has been found sourced by the ongoing research for the Oxford English Dictionary. Additional word histories outside this core group are included for words with a particularly interesting story to tell and links between words are given where these enhance the picture. A key feature of the book is the inclusion of a large number of well-known idioms with dates of original use with details of how and when they came about: for example happy as a sandboy, and say it with flowers. Colourful popular beliefs are explored about words such as posh and snob, while insights are given into our social history revealed by language development. The notion of 'relationships' is central and highlights the following: · shared roots (e.g. stare and starve both from a base meaning be rigid) · common ancestry (mongrel related to mingle and among) · surprising commonality (wage and wed) · typical formation (blab, bleat, chatter, gibber, all imitative of sounds) · influence by association · shared wordbuilding elements (hyperspace, hypersonic, hyperlink) with boxed information on the various meanings of the prefix in question., Why did a Roman soldier connect the word salary with salt?The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories describes the origins and sense development of thousands of core words of the English language; dates are given where recorded evidence of use has been found sourced by the ongoing research for the Oxford English Dictionary.

Well-known idioms such as "say it with flowers" are highlighted with the dates of their original use and how and when they came about. Colorful popular beliefs are explored about the origins of words like "posh" and "snob," and insights are given into our social history revealed by language development such as the connection in a Roman soldier's mind of "salary" with salt. Throughout, boxed word-building elements show the various meanings of shared "relationships" between words.

- o***1 (68)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThese are good people to deal with. My purchase came quickly, in great condition, and is being used now in my teaching. However, the material sent left out a Biblical Atlas that the box of maps tells me was part of the collection. This is a used item made up of many parts. I assume the missing piece was not known to be missing by the seller. But the seller did a noble job is making a generous concession on the final price. As I say, these are good people: it's just the item that was incomplete
