Nearly Half Million
Words in English
Our Language BOrrows Profusely and
Vocabulary Multiplies Rapidly

"The English vocabulary has grown
to great size" says Professor Clark S.
Northup, of Cornell University, one of
the editors of The New Universities
Dictionary now being distributed by
this paper exclusively to it's readers:
THE number of words found in Old
English literature does not exceed
thirty thousand; recent dictionaries
have listed more than four hundred
thousand, mostly of foreign origin.
Yet most writer's use mainly English
words.
Shakespeare used ninety per cent.
of English words; the English Bible
contains ninety-four per cent; Milton
eighty-one per cent; Addison eighty
two per cent; Tennyson eighty-eight
per cent. Most of our shortest and
simplest words are of native origin
IF any language comes into close
contact with another, there is likeli-
hood of word-borrowing. English is
one of the most cosmopolitan of
languages. From the French it began
to borrow even before the Norman
conquest; after that, as intercourse
with France increased. it borrowed
heavily from the Norman and Partisan
French. Many Spanish and Italian
