Excerpt from The Phonographic Word-Book Number Two: Containing the Whole Body of Effective Words in the English Language, Arranged and Classified According to the Modes in Which They Should Be Written in Phonography
It may, at first view, occasion some surprise, that this whole work is in Ordinary type, and that there is not, therefore, a single page Of it which presents Words phonographically Written, to the eye of the learner; The reasons for this are, in part, mechanical, and in part pertain to our philosophy Of the sound - est and best method Of teaching. The mechanical reasons it is unnecessary to explain, farther. Than to Observe, that to publish the whole of the words in Phonographic characters would render the work far too bulky and expensive, and that to intersperse portions of Phonographic matter is extremely inconvenient. Apart from these considerations, we have little doubt that an edition Of this work, in Phonographic characters, would be more acceptable with many to whom, nevertheless, it would be less useful than in its present form. We are thus led to our Second class Of reasons for preferring the ordinary type.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the body of effective words present in English language, focusing primarily on how to write these words using the Pitman shorthand method of Phonography. The author, an expert in Phonography, has structured the book so as to explicitly teach the best way to write each class of words. Unlike previous approaches to teaching Phonography, this book takes care to explain when words with similar consonant sounds, such as those beginning with the S circle or the LR hook, should be written differently for the sake of clarity. It also includes explanations of vowel placement in consonant outlines, as well as rules for the use of half-length consonant signs and the NL and NR hook-signs. Students of Phonography who wish to expand their knowledge of the system, and scholars who wish to learn more about Pitman shorthand will find this book to be an invaluable resource. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333895242_0
