Chapters On English (1918)

Chapters On English is a book written by the Danish linguist Otto Jespersen and published in 1918. The book is a comprehensive study of the English language, covering topics such as grammar, syntax, phonetics, and etymology. Jespersen's approach is descriptive and analytical, focusing on the structure and usage of the language rather than prescriptive rules. The book is divided into chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the English language, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Jespersen also examines the history of the English language, tracing its development from Old English to Modern English. The book is intended for linguists, scholars, and students of English language and literature. It is widely regarded as a classic work in the field of linguistics and has been influential in shaping the study of English grammar and syntax.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
