Were I to say that you have a whole dictionary in your hands, you might find that unremarkable; we often think of thesauri, those treasure-books of words, as mere extensions of dictionaries anyway. But if I were to say that you had alexicographical library in your hands, you might first wonder at the meaning of 'lexicographical'—you may look it up in this book—and then express a note of incredulity at my claim. Yet that is what you do actually have in your hands: Dr. Danner has compressed into one volume all the knowledge of words and learning regarding their origins to be found in an entire library of foreign language dictionaries as well as related linguistic tools for the study of English developed by historians of the language. This is an altogether singular achievement.  \nTo see the extent to which this is the case, let us follow out Dr. Danner's set of organizing principles by considering an example. Take that strange word I used in the previous paragraph: lexicographical. Using the English to Roots index at the back of the volume, you would soon discover that the word has two roots within its structure, roots that will reveal its meaning when combined. The first is 'lex.' Once you look that up, you will learn that it derives from 'legein' in Greek, a verb that means 'to say' and by extension refers to utterances or words. But you will also learn at the entry for that root the entire range of words that use that same root, discovering in the process that the root is behind the Latin word for 'law' as well as a host of English derivatives. The second root of 'lexicographical' is 'graph'. Having arrived by way of the index at this root, you will find that this root means 'writing' and takes it origin from 'graphein', another Greek verb. As a result, you will now see inside, so to speak, the word 'lexicographical' and understand that lexicographers are people who write about words and that the adjectival form must mean: pertaining to writing abou","cbCaibVV3svFxIW0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibVV3svFxIW0","pdf",6897486,1007,"English","# Foreword\n# Acknowledgements\n# Preface\n# Thesaurus\n# English to Roots Index\n# Works Consulted\n# About the Author","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this book?\",\"answer\":\"It explains English words by breaking them into word roots and showing how those roots combine to form meaning.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the English-to-Roots index help readers?\",\"answer\":\"Readers use the index to locate the roots inside a word, then consult the root entries to understand the word’s meaning and related derivatives.\"},{\"question\":\"Does the book only support passive vocabulary, or can it help with active vocabulary too?\",\"answer\":\"It supports both: it helps with word recognition while also teaching readers how to infer meanings of unfamiliar words by decoding roots.\"}]","A Thesaurus of English Word Roots | PDF",1789300146,352]
