Excerpt from The Sentential Reader
That is the question, said Professor Cadmus. It is not the definition so much as the attainment. Need I say, that reading is not to be acquired by rules? It is useless to make them the basis of instruction in reading. Seeing is the knowing of childhood. The thing must take precedence of the word.
I entirely agree with you, said Dr. Wisdom. Nor can it be taught by examples. As well might Miss S attempt to teach my daughter the art of music by playing over some of her phantasies, as a teacher attempt to teach children reading by presenting models of the art.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins and development of words, exploring the manner in which they emerge from human experience and interaction with the world. The author argues that words are not static entities but rather dynamic expressions of our thoughts, emotions, and understanding. The book traces the evolution of words from their earliest forms, such as gestures and onomatopoeia, to the complex and sophisticated language systems we use today. Along the way, the author explores the relationship between language and thought, the role of language in culture and society, and the creative and transformative power of words. This book draws on a wide range of disciplines, including linguistics, psychology, anthropology, and history, to present a comprehensive and engaging account of the nature and origins of human language. Engagingly written and accessible to both general readers and scholars alike, this book offers a fresh perspective on the fundamental building blocks of human communication.
