Rudiments of Anglo-Saxon
Publisher/Author
Logos Press
Other Information
Level: All
Description
“Sure, half of English on the whole may come from Latin, but the lion’s share of everyday conversation–the real meat of our language–comes from Anglo-Saxon. If you want prose with a backbone, you should be studying the rumbling tongue of Anglo-Saxon. It was the language of Alfred the Great, and it gave us the tale of Beowulf. It’s the source of vivid English words like ache, inkling, limber, lynch, and marshmallow.
Simply put, Rudiments of Anglo-Saxon is a distillation of the more academic and abstracted Old English grammars. Rudiments won’t bury you in verbiage or leave you feeling like you should have been a linguist. In Unit One, the beginner will learn step-by-step basics of Anglo-Saxon grammar, from new letters like thorn and eth to strong and weak adjectives and beyond. Unit Two, while guiding the student through much of Mark’s Gospel and Beowulf, introduces the fundamentals of translation from getting the right dictionary to deciphering poetry. Altogether, the textbook contains enough material for thirty-two happy weeks spent ransacking the Anglo-Saxon word-hoard.” – Logos Press

Description
“Watch out: There’s an epidemic of kind-hearted people adopting the adorable yet treacherous creatures known as informal fallacies.

Inside you’ll find inventive illustrations, clear descriptions, helpful exercises, semester- & year-long schedules, and all the clever analysis a person might need to steer clear of all the little fallacies.
The fifty informal fallacies are divided into four groups: fallacies of distraction, fallacies of ambiguity, fallacies of form, and millennial fallacies. Each is described as an adorable but deadly creature one might encounter in the wild, complete with illustration and a fantastical description as a memory aid.
Perfect for beginning logic students. Matchless as a supplement to any established high-school or college logic curriculum. Ideal for pastors or parents, or anyone else in our age of nonsense who wants to apply logic to real life (or the Internet).” – Cannon Press
