Oxford Dictionary of Word Origins《牛津词源字典》是牛津大学出版社出版的一本词源书,共收录了超过3000个单词和短语,并详细描述了它们的起源与发展过程。本书依托牛津词典研究计划及语言监测,将很多我们好奇的术语与表达背后的故事联系起来,为读者提供比普通英语词典更为明确的解释。
本字典还对英语语言发展历史进行了扩展介绍,不但对英语的学生和英语学习爱好者有很大的帮助,而且也适合对语言发展史感兴趣的读者使用。
Combining both accessibility and authority, the Oxford Dictionary of Word Originsdescribes the origins and development of over 3,000 words and phrases in the English language. The book draws on Oxford’s unrivalled dictionary research programme and language monitoring, and relates the fascinating stories behind many of our most curious terms and expressions in order to offer the reader a much more explicit account than can be found in a general English dictionary.
Organized A-Z, the entries include first known use along with examples that illustrate the many faces of the particular word or phrase, from ‘handsome’ to ‘bachelor’ and ‘cute’ to ‘baby’, from ‘pagan’ to ‘palaver’ and ‘toff’ to ‘torpedo’. Also featured are almost 20 special panels that cover expressions common in English but drawn from other languages, such as ‘coffee’, ‘sugar’, and ‘candy’ from Arabic or ‘booze’, ‘brandy’, and ‘gin’ (Dutch).
This absorbing volume is useful for language students and enthusiasts, but also an intriguing read for any person interested in the development of the English language and of language development in general. Includes an extended introduction on the history of the English language.
