Americanisms: The English Of The New World is a book written by Maximilian Schele De Vere and published in 1872. The book is a comprehensive study of the English language as spoken in America, focusing on the unique words, phrases, and idioms that have developed in the United States since its founding. De Vere, a German-American linguist and philologist, explores the origins of American English and its relationship to British English, as well as the influences of other languages, such as French, Spanish, and Native American languages. He also examines the regional variations in American English, from the accents and dialects of New England to the Southern drawl of the Deep South.The book includes numerous examples of Americanisms, along with their meanings and usage, and provides insights into the cultural and historical contexts in which they arose. De Vere also offers commentary on the social and political implications of American English, arguing that it reflects the unique character of the American people and their democratic ideals.Overall, Americanisms: The English Of The New World is a fascinating exploration of the evolution of the English language in America, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in linguistics, history, or American culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
