Publisher's Synopsis
""The Approach of Academic to Spoken Style in German: A Study in Popular Scientific Prose from 1850 to 1914"" is a book written by Charles Fischer Sladen in 1917. The book is an academic study of the evolution of spoken style in German popular scientific prose during the period from 1850 to 1914. The author explores the approaches taken by academics in their writing during this time, looking at the ways in which they adapted their language to better communicate complex scientific ideas to a wider audience. Sladen examines the use of rhetorical devices, the structure of sentences and paragraphs, and the use of technical language in the writing of German academics during this period. The book provides a detailed analysis of the linguistic and stylistic changes that occurred in German scientific writing during this time, and is a valuable resource for scholars of linguistics and the history of science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
