This practical introduction to word history investigates every aspect of where words come from and how they change. Philip Durkin, chief etymologist of the Oxford English Dictionary, shows how different types of evidence can shed light on the myriad ways in which words change in form and meaning. He considers how such changes can be part of wider linguistic processes, or be influenced by a complex mixture of social and cultural factors. He illustrates every point with a wide range of fascinating examples. Dr Durkin investigates folk etymology and other changes which words undergo in everyday use. He shows how language families are established, how words in different languages can have a common ancester, and the ways in which the latter can be distinguished from words introduced through language contact. He examines the etymologies of the names of people and places. His focus is on English but he draws many examples from languages such as French, German, and Latin which cast light on the pre-histories of English words.

Die Monographie bietet eine umfassende Darstellung des Gegenstands Volksetymologie. Die Arbeit hat drei Hauptteile: Zuerst wird eine forschungsgeschichtliche Darstellung gegeben. Zweitens beschreibt die Arbeit auf der Grundlage von Beispielen die theoretischen Aspekte der Volksetymologie. Drittens ist eine ausgreifende Bibliographie der Forschungsliteratur zusammengestellt. Volksetymologie wurde und wird manchmal als 'Schmunzelecke' der Sprachwissenschaft angesehen. Volksetymologien sind Fehler, und Fehler sind lustig, besonders dann, wenn man sie nicht selbst macht. Volksetymologie basiert auf dem Verknüpfen von sprachlichem Material, das sprachgeschichtlich nicht zusammengehört. Die Beschäftigung mit Volksetymologien zeigt, daß und wie Sprecher (gedankliche) Realität schaffen, um ihren Sprachschatz 'in Ordnung' zu halten.

This is a sequel to the author's Semitic and Indo-European: The Principal Etymologies (1995). That volume provided the key examples of morphological correspondences between the Semitic and the Indo-European languages. In this sequel, the author analyzes correspondences of structure, either within a certain group of languages or belonging to a distantly related group, by looking at inflectional morphology, case, grammar, and phonology. Thus are uncovered the prehistoric means of oral communication, linking the forerunners of ancient societies in Asia, Africa, and Europe, as they talked a

Etymology has been largely neglected since the beginning of this century. Professor Yakov Malkiel here sets out to rescue it from its fate. He enquires into the style, structure, presuppositions, and purposes of etymological enquiries over the last two centuries, and sets them against the practice of etymology in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. He also examines the complex and changing interrelationship between etymology and general linguistics in recent times, with the intention of revitalising etymological research. Professor Malkiel is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished practitioners of the discipline, and brings to this work a remarkable breadth and depth of scholarship. Wide-ranging and imaginative, Etymology will be welcomed by all historical linguists and Romance linguists.
