Abstract:

'English Vocabulary Elements' draws on the tools of modern linguistics
to help students acquire an effective understanding of learned,
specialized, and scientific vocabulary. This fully refined and updated
edition helps develop familiarity with over 500 Latin and Greek word
elements in English and shows how these roots are the building blocks
within thousands of different words. Along the way, the authors
introduce and illustrate many of the fundamental concepts of
linguistics, sketch word origins going back to Latin, Greek, and even
Proto-Indo-European, and discuss issues around meaning change and
correct usage. Moreover, the volume adds new illustrative examples,
self-help tests, and study questions. A companion website provides
supplementary materials including an Instructor's Manual with an
answer key. Offering a thorough approach to the expansion of
vocabulary, English Vocabulary Elements is an invaluable resource that
provides students a deeper understanding of the language.
