OLOGIES AND ISMS ![]() Ologies and Isms set out to explain the building blocks of the English language (the beginnings and endings, and sometimes the middles) that help form or adapt many of the words we use. Alas, the book is now out of print. However, its author has put the text online as a free resource, under the simple title Affixes. Improving on the book, it is heavily cross-referenced and comprehensively indexed by headword and theme. As time permits, it is being updated to reflect changes in the language. Whether you’re a student or practitioner, a teacher of English, an inveterate word user, a logophile who is phobic about technological inexactitudes, or just a seeker-out of linguistic trifles, Affixes will help you to understand the language around you. |
