  aLanguage - in its communicative and playful functions, its literary formations and its shifting meanings - is a perennially fascinating topic. C.S. Lewis's Studies in Words explores this fascination by taking a series of words and teasing out their connotations using examples from a vast range of English literature, recovering lost meanings and analysing their functions. It doubles as an absorbing and entertaining study of verbal communication, its pleasures and problems. The issues revealed are essential to all who read and communicate thoughtfully, and are handled here by a masterful exponent and analyst of the English language. 72BUEsh 7aEnglish languagexEtymology.2BUEsh 7aEnglish languagexSemantics.2BUEsh93196 72BUEsh 7bHHUUEENNcAugust2015cJuly2019  vReading book934232  2ddccBB  c10033d10033  00102ddc4070aMAINbMAINc2NDd2008-07-31ePurchasel0o422 LEWp000013386r2025-07-15 00:00:00u13817v2008.00yBB
