English Grammar in Familiar Lectures Part 49

11. ABSURDITIES AND IMPROPRIETIES.--"I can learn him many things."

It ought to be, "I can _teach_ him." To _learn_, is to _acquire_ or _receive_ information; to _teach_, means to _communicate_ it.

"I don't think it is so." You _do think_, that it is _not_ so.

_Ever, always._ "I have ever been of this mind." I have _always_ been.

_Ever_ and _always_ are not synonymous. _Ever_ refers to _one_ indefinite period of time; as, "If he _ever_ become rich:" _always_ means _at all times_.

_Excuse, pardon._ The former signifies to release from an obligation which refers to the future; the latter, to forgive a neglect or crime that is past. "Excuse me for neglecting to call yesterday:" _pardon_ me.

_Remember, recollect._ We _remember_ a thing which we retain in our mind; we _recollect_ it, when, though having gone from the mind, we have power to call it back.

_Defect, deficiency._ A thing which is incomplete in any of its parts, is _defective;_ a total absence of the thing, is a _deficiency_.

This subject will be resumed in the appendix to this work.

NOTE 1.--When the words _learned_, _blessed_, _loved,_ &c. are used as participial adjectives, the termination _ed_ should generally be p.r.o.nounced as a separate syllable; as, "A _learn-ed_ man; The _bless-ed_ Redeemer;" but when they are employed as verbs, the _ed_ is contracted in p.r.o.nunciation; as, "He _learn'd_ his lesson; They are _lov'd;_ I have _walk'd_."

2. The accent of the following words falls on those syllables expressed in the _italic_ characters: Eu ro _pe_ an, hy me _ne_ al, Ce sa _re_ a, co ad _ju_ tor, ep i cu _re_ an, _in_ ter est ed, _in_ ter est ing, _rep_ a ra ble, _rec_ og nise, _leg_ is la ture, _ob_ li ga to ry, in _com_ pa ra ble, ir _rep_ a ra ble, in _ex_ o ra ble. In a large cla.s.s of words, the vowels _a_, _e_, and _ai_, should be p.r.o.nounced like long _a_ in _late_; such as, _fare_, _rare_, _there_, _their_, _where_, _air_, _chair_, _compare_, _declare_, &c. In the words _person_, _perfect_, _mercy_, _interpret_, _determine_, and the like, the vowel _e_ before _r_, is often _erroneously_ sounded like short _u_. Its proper sound is that of _e_ in _met_, _pet_, _imperative_.

3. With respect to the p.r.o.nunciation of the words _sky_, _kind_, _guide_, &c. it appears that a mistake extensively prevails. It is believed that their common p.r.o.nunciation by the vulgar, is the _correct_ one, and agreeable to the p.r.o.nunciation intended by Mr.

John Walker. The proper diphthongal sounds 11 1 1 in skei, kyind, gyide, are adopted by the common ma.s.s, and _perverted_ by those who, in their unnatural and affected p.r.o.nunciation of these words, say, 1 1 1 1 1 1 ske-i; ke-inde, ge-ide. This latter mode of p.r.o.nouncing them in two syllables, is as incorrect and ridiculous as to p.r.o.nounce the words _boil_, _toil_, in two 3 4 3 4 syllables; thus, bo-il, to-il.

4. _My_, _wind_. When _my_ is contrasted with _thy_, _his_, _her_, _your_, 1 1 &c, it is p.r.o.nounced, mi: in all other situations, it is p.r.o.nounced, me; as, "_My [me]_ son, give ear to _my [me]_ counsel." When _wind_ ends a line in poetry, and is made to rhyme with _mind_, _bind_, kind_, &c. it is 1 4 p.r.o.nounced, wind; but, in other situations, it is p.r.o.nounced, wind.

"Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored mind Sees G.o.d in clouds, or hears him in the _wind_."
