The Great Courses
Professor Anne Curzan
In The Secret Life of Words: English Words and Their Origins, youll get a delightful, informative survey of English, from its Germanic origins to the rise of globalization and cyber-communications. Award-winning Professor Anne Curzan of the University of Michigan approaches the subject like an archaeologist, digging below the surface to uncover the story of words, from the humble she to such SAT words as conflagration and pedimanous.
Discover the history of the dictionary and how words make it into a reference book like the Oxford English Dictionary (OED);
survey the borrowed words that make up the English lexicon;
find out how words are born and how they die;
expand your vocabulary by studying Greek and Latin word webs; and
revel in new terms, such as musquirt, adorkable, and struggle bus.
