What reading level is The Growth of English : An Elementary Account of the Present Form of Our Language, And Its Development book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
are common, familiar words, as only such could resist the tendency to level all declension under one type. The form kye, Plural of cow, in Northern Dialects is the old mutated form ; the poetical hine is a double plural with both muta- tion and the -n suffix of the Weak Declension.
Class (4) represents old Neuter words, which in O.K. remained unchanged in Nominative and Accusative Plural. The whole of these, with the exception of the two mentioned above, have been levelled under the general typ...e which takes -s, etc., in the Plural. Wife, house, calf, and many others, originally belonged to this class. Traces of an old Dative Plural in -um survive in whilom, O.E. hwilum, ' at times,' and in seldom. The former was a noun, the latter an adjective meaning ' rare.' The Dative Singular and Plural were often used adverbially.
Comparison of Adjectives.
The old declension of adjectives has been com- pletely lost, and concord is no longer possible ; only comparison remains to be mentioned.
The comparative suffix -er, and the superlative -est, represent old formative elements which are used in M.E.
