Opis: Elementary Swedish Grammar (Classic Reprint) - Elmquist A. Louis

Excerpt from Elementary Swedish Grammar

I want to call special attention to the material given under the headings Pronunciation, Orthography, Accent and Colloquialisms. A considerable part of this will in perhaps most cases be used to the greatest advantage in connection with a review or a more advanced study of the grammar. The book is so constructed that there is no need of including any part of this in the first study of the book. It is my hope, however, that users of the book will at all times draw abundantly from the important material therein contained.

Under the heading Pronunciation in each lesson are listed the words from that lesson that are likely to give difficulty, particularly to non-Swedes. Reference is usually made to the introduction on pronunciation, or to my Phonology. I think it is desirable for students who already speak the language to acquire a real knowledge of the rules of Swedish pronunciation. This could not have been accomplished so well by the use of phonetic transcription, which I might otherwise have employed, had the types been available. The introduction on pronunciation, too, has been so constructed that it should invite real acquisition rather than a purely formal survey. My Phonology of the Swedish Language, a book of about fifty pages that will be published before January, 1915, goes into the subject in more detail, still dealing only with essential things. I retain in the introduction on sounds the customary terms "hard" and "soft" vowels, notwithstanding the expressed preference on the part of some for the terms "back" and "front". The use of these latter terms in the connection in which "hard" and "soft" are used would be incorrect in treating of the modern language (see Noreen, Vart Sprak, Vol. I, page 389).
