Viac o knihe
Exploring the evolution of language in 1811, the book categorizes provincial words into three types: obsolete Saxon or Danish terms, corrupted foreign words, and arbitrary expressions with no clear origin. It highlights how these words are often retained in rural areas, reflecting local history and customs. Additionally, the Local Proverbs section connects specific phrases to regional histories, while the Popular Superstitions illuminate ancient poems and romances, offering a rich tapestry of cultural insights.
