Description The Etymologicon A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language A funny, enlightening and ingenious book about the origins and hidden connections between words in a light-hearted and often irreverent way, which starts and ends with books, and covers everything else in-between: from chickens, testicles and sausages to Bohemia, California and assassins on drugs. You will never think about certain words in the same way again. ABOUT THIS BOOK Publication date 2011 ISBN 1848313071 / 9781848313071 Revuews What a fun look at language and where words and phrases come from. Connections abound in this book, which is surprisingly engaging for an in-depth study of English language. Recommended, and not just for hard-core linguists. I used this as my waiting room book. You can pick it up any time, read as much or alittle as you want. It's always interesting. It's a fascinating romp through the english language, finding where words come from, linking them in strange ways. Excellent and enjoyable. Sharing Widget |
