Sinossi

In "A Grammar of the English Tongue," Samuel Johnson offers a pioneering exploration of English grammar, seamlessly blending prescriptive rules with comprehensive descriptions of the language. Written in 1755, this seminal work adopts a didactic style that reflects the Enlightenment's fascination with reason and clarity. Johnson meticulously examines syntax, morphology, and usage, positioning English as a robust and intricate language worthy of scholarly attention. His work stands as a significant contribution in the context of 18th-century linguistic studies, when language was increasingly viewed as an object of scientific inquiry. Samuel Johnson, an eminent literary figure and lexicographer, was well-equipped to tackle the complexities of English grammar, drawing from his extensive knowledge in literature, philosophy, and linguistics. His experiences, including his own struggles with language and education, inspired his desire to elevate English to the status of the classical languages. Johnson's previous achievements, including his landmark "Dictionary of the English Language," further solidified his authority and passion for linguistic clarity and precision, which are evident in this grammar treatise. This book is highly recommended for linguists, grammarians, and enthusiasts of the English language alike. Johnson's grammar not only serves as an essential reference work, but it also invites readers into a deeper understanding of the intricacies of English, fostering appreciation for its richness. With its blend of scholarly rigor and accessible prose, this foundational text remains relevant for anyone wishing to delve deeper into the structure and beauty of the English tongue.
