An Introduction to Modern English Word Formation (English Language Series) Valerie Adams
Publisher: Longman

The word sinistre was already a synonym of bad omen in Old French but had lost the meaning of "left" when it was introduced into Middle English. This speaks volumes about the significance of English in modern arena. Meanings gradually developed from use of these terms in the ancient languages. In many modern European languages, including English, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct" or "proper", and also stands for authority and justice . Then vocabulary is important part and aspect of language and word formation is the root of vocabulary and a branch of etymology. In Italian though it still has both meanings. The 19-volume Continental Commentary Series, published by Fortress Press, makes leading critical biblical scholarship from German and French scholars available to the English-speaking world. You might be surprised to find that these “power words” don't seem … well, all that powerful. This speaks to just how damned efficient they are. Every word from every book has been indexed and catalogued to help you search the entire Continental Commentary Series for a particular verse or topic, and giving you instant access to cross-references. This series combines scholarly excellence for research and sermon preparation.
