MISSING WORDS.
Annoying Gaps In English Language
That Cause Inconveniences,
The English language may fairly
claim to be the most prolific in the
world. Not content with its native
riches, it possesses in a special degree
the faculty of assimilating everything
useful from other tongues, ancient and
modern. It ought indeed to be the
most perfect vehicle of thought in the
world, and in some respects no doubt
it is.
But, curiously enough, there are de
ficlencies in English not to be found in
far less copious languages. While in
many cases we have half a dozen
words expressing the same or prac
tically the same thing, there are, on
the other hand, certain ideas that have
no appropriate words to express them.
In the words denoting relationship
some notable gaps are found. The
most glaring instance is the want of a
word to distinguish between a male
and female cousin., Other languages,
such as French and Italian, have a sep
arate word for each, but in English
some addition or explanation is re
quired in order to make it clear which
sex is intended. :
Curious gaps occur here and there in
our language if we look into it. The
word “show” expresses the idea of
making to see, but there is no word for
making to hear—a phonograph, for ex
ample. “I took the phonograph to my
friend and”— What? “Got him to
listen to it” would probably be the in
elegant finish to the sentence.
On the other hand, “audience” means
those who hear and applies very well
to those present in a lecture hall or con
cert room. But what of those who see
a cricket match, for instance? “Spec
tators” is the nearest word, br't it does
not correspond exactly to “auélence.”
There is one deficlency in the lan
guage 80 awswaiwand Irritating that
even at this late hour it ought to be
made good. Need it be said that refer
ence is made to indiscriminate use of
the personal pronoun to denote either
the person speaking or the person
spoken of? This may not be a defect
peculiar to English, but it #s one from
which the ancient classical tongues are
entirely free.
“He said he had offered him money,
which he had declined,” would be quite
comprehensible either in Greek or Lat
in, but in English it necessitates a num
ber of bracketed explanations which
are positively annoying and destructive
of grace and fluency.—London An
swers,
A Natural Mistake,
“l was just telling our friend here,
Molly, that it was storming on the day
of our marriage.”
“Surely not, Hiram! The weather
was perfectly lovely!”
“Well, well! I don’t know how I got
so mixed up about it—probably because
it's been storming ever since!”—Atlanta
Constitution,
She Knew Her Dad,
Smithers—Do you know any one who
has a horse to sell?
She—Yes: I suspect old Brown has.
Smithers—Why?
SBhe—Well, papa sold him one yester
day.—London Punch.
Sincerity is the basis of all true
friendship. Without sincerity it is
like a ship without ballast.
