    Hardcover. Zustand: COLLECTIBLE - NEW. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition, First Printing. BRAND NEW & Collectible. Two small soil spots to upper edge of rear inner flap of dustjacket. A collection of essays exploring the complexities of the Millennnium (or lower cap, plural) written when our world was perched upon the threshhold of a century's turn. Essentially a three-pronged inquiry : 1, What does the concept of a millennium mean and how has it changed over time?; 2, When does the new millennium begin?; and, 3, Why do arbitrary calindrical traditions and idiosyncracies lead us into searching for arbitrary regularity? Fine copy of a masterful book.

    Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. [I include gratis the paperback Advance Uncorrected Proof of Steinmetz's SEMANTIC ANTICS from 2008.] THERE'S A WORD FOR IT: The Explosion of the American Language Since 1900, 246pp. includes Index. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Word geeks (1984), rejoice! Crack open these covers and immerse yourself in a mind-expanding (1963) compendium of the new words (or new meanings of words) that have sprung from American life to ignite the most vital, inventive, fruitful, and A-OK (1961) lexicographical Big Bang (1950) since the first no-brow (1922) Neanderthal grunted meaningfully. [] In chapters organized by decade, each with a lively and informative narrative of the life and language of the time, along with year-by-year lists of words that were making their first appearance, THERE'S A WORD FOR IT reveals how the American culture contributed to the evolution and expansion of the English language and vice versa. Clearly, it's must-reading (1940). And not to disparage any of the umpteen (1918) other language books on the shelf--though they have their share of hokum (1917) and gobbledygook (1944)--but this one truly is the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas (1920s)." [jacket copy] "Genome. Non-stick. Humanoid. Fairly recent additions to American English? No--1930, 1927, and 1918, respectively. Whether you say Whee! (1920) or Sheesh! (1959) when a new word is coined or adopted, you'll appreciate Sol Steinmetz's pleasurable and detailed guide to a century of linguistic innovations and the cultural changes they gave voice to."--Wendalyn Nichols. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket. + SEMANTIC ANTICS: How and Why Words Change Meaning, 280pp. Bright & unread Advance Uncorrected Proof in paperback. "Many common English words started out with an entirely different meaning than the one we know today. For example: the word 'adamant' came into English around 855 C.E. as a synonym for 'diamond,' very different from today's meaning of the word: 'utterly unyielding in attitude or opinion.' [] 'Meat' was originally a term used to describe any type of food. It then narrowed in meaning to describe an entire meal, such as breakfast or dinner, and finally settled into the meaning we know today: 'the flesh of animals as used for food.'
