This early work Otto Jespersen was originally published in 1905 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Growth and Structure of the English Language' is a scholarly linguistic study. Otto Jespersen was born in Randers, Denmark on 16th July 1869. He worked as an academic at Copenhagen University and rose to the position of professor of English, a post he held from 1893 to 1925. Jespersen made a considerable contribution to the study of linguistics and some of his works are still used as the basic texts for study in the field.
Growth and Structure of the English Language edition by Otto Jespersen Reference eBooks
Jespersen is unsurpassed on language history, vocabulary and grammar. His racism and sexism were the norm at that time. We can forgive and laugh. A Jespersen of our age would hardly repeat his follies about race, manliness, effeminacy, business. This element, however, amounts to a primary source on European attitudes of a century ago. The edition that I bought, I'm happy to say, is in the good old format that you can tuck in your pocket. Don't buy the new printings with those W I D E margins.Product details

Fascinating. He's a bit sexist, but once you get over that there is truly an amazing well of rare literary lore in these pages. Must read.
