What reading level is Swain School Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In no language, however, is the correspondence very exact; in English it is very inexact. Changes of stress, of pitch, of pause, of duration, of individual utterance, are not marked at all. Even what is left of the sound after deducting all this, is either under- indicated, or over-indicated, or mis-indicated; or, when indicated, indicated in a very unpractical and inelegant manner. Tennyson laments, as he composes his verses, that the subtle succession of sounds he has sought to seize cannot b...e preserved, can hardly be expressed by the symbols he tries to represent them by. Luckily the world clings to the bad, and it is hard to change all this. Luckily, I say, for how else can "we hope that they will cling to the good when they get it? This half-century has indeed witnessed a glorious revival, a veritable renaissance, of the sounds of the Latin and Greek languages. Even the long silent rhythms of the latter have awakened to life. Order, symmetry and SEVEN PROCESSES CF LANGUAGE 133 beauty have been discovered where all was confusion.
