PREFACE 


Puts unassuming little work contains a collection of English words, 


very similar in sound but differently spelled, and conveying different 
meanings, which are generally known under the name of Homonyms, 


Collections of Homonyms are certainly found in almost all elementary 


~ Ὁ English school books, but they are generally too concise. It has therefore 
ΤῊΣ been thought necessary to give to the subject a fuller development, with- 
ag out omitting the introduction of a certain number of words considered 
antiquated or obsolete, but which are nevertheless freely used in common 
: speech, in order to better enable students of the English language to 


grapple with the difficulty presented by Homonymous words, especially 
in writing under dictation. 


3 It is, moreover, obvious that the translation -into French and Italian 


is of every English Homonym, as contained in the text, will prove of 


considerable help, especially to foreigners studying the English language. 


PREFAZIONE 


' Questo modesto lavoro contiené una raccolta di vocaboli Inglesi 
| ς consimili nella pronuncia ma differenti tanto nell’ Ortografia che nel 
significato, e che sono comunemente conosciuti sotto il titolo di 
Omonimi. 


In quasi tutti i libri scolastici Inglesi s’ incontrano delle liste di 


Omonimi, le quali perd hanno I’ inconveniente di essere troppo concise. 


In questo libro percid, si ὁ creduto utile di dare un maggior sviluppo 
a questo argomento senza escludere 1’ introduzione di varie voci 
considerate antiquate (arcaismi) o fuor di uso, ma che nonostante 
‘vengono frequentemente adoperate, e cid per vieppit porre in grado gli 
studenti della lingua Inglese a superare le difficolta che presentano le 
parole Omonime, in particolar modo, quando trattasi di scrivere sotto 
dettato. 


E indubitato inoltre che la traduzione Francese ed Italiana di tutti 
gli Omonimi Inglesi contenuti nel presente libro, servird di grande ajuto 
massimamente agli stranieri che studiano la lingua Inglese.

PREFACE 


Ce modeste ouvrage contient un recueil de mots anglais connus sous 


le nom d’Homonymes, dont la prononciation est presque identique 


mais qui différent entre eux par l’Orthographe. 


On trouve des recueils d’Homonymes dans presque tous les livres 


_ pédagogiques anglais, mais ces recueils sont trés concis. 


Nous avons pensé en conséquence, qu’il était utile de traiter le sujet 


avec plus de développement, sans omettre certains mots qui sont 


considérés comme surannés ou tombés en désuétude, mais dont on fait 


-néanmoins un fréquent usage, dans le but de mettre les personnes qui 


étudient l’Anglais ἃ méme de lutter contre les difficultés que présentent 


᾿ les Homonymes anglais, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit d’écrire sous dictée. 


Nous sommes d’avis que la traduction francaise et italienne de tous 


les Homonymes anglais, contenus dans cet ouvrage, ne manquera pas 


d@étre d’une grande utilité, particuliérement aux étrangers qui appren- 


nent la langue anglaise.
