A Grammar of the Persian Language

Part I. Accidence & Part II. Syntax

John T. Platts & George S.A. Ranking

By the kind permission of the Mrs. Platts, I have been enabled to prepare this new edition of the late Mr. Platts’s Persian Grammar. In carrying out this work, it has been my object to make as few changes as possible in the arrangements, and to depart as little as was consistent with what experience has shown to be necessary from the original scheme of the late author. I have felt the liberty to follow my own inclinations in the preparation of the portion of this work which deals with the Syntax of Persian.

An Outline of Anglo-Saxon Grammar

James W Bright

The following outline of Anglo-Saxon Grammar is restricted to the West-Saxon Dialect, that form of the language which in the reign of Alfred the Great (871-901) became dominant for literary purposes and maintained that supremacy to the close of the Anglo-Saxon period. The changes which took place within the West-Saxon Dialect, though slight in respect of phonology and inflection, make it necessary to distinguish Early West-Saxon, the language of Alfred's time, from Late West-Saxon, the language of the following two and a half centuries, with Ælfric (died between 1020 and 1025 as the central literary figure.

In this outline EWS is regarded as the norm to which LWS is subordinated. Contents: Grammar (Phonology, inflection (declension, conjugation). (re-edition; originally published London, 1906).

Adolf Erman

Translated by James Henry Breasted

The Egyptian language is related to the Semitic languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic), to the East-African languages (Bischari, Galla, Somali), and to the Berber languages of North-Africa. The language of its oldest monuments belongs as far back as the fourth millenium B.C. and did not entirely die out until three centuries ago (from the preface). Contents: Orthography and Phonetics, pronouns, nouns (gender, number, genitive, article), verbs (classes, voice, inflection, compunds, imperative, nominal forms), particles, sentence (nominal sentence, the parts of the sentence, kinds of sentences), table with signs, exercises for reading, glossary (re-edition; originally published 1894, London).
