Linguistic Detectives. Book 2. How Words Work
14.99 €
"How Words Work" by Nikolai Shansky is a real mini-investigation that we will conduct together with the author inside and among words, and also among phraseological units.

Can "kus-" be considered the root in the word "art"? What is the correct spelling: "taganrozhsky" or "taganrogsky"? Why do we write "mesivo" (mess) but not "varevo" (brew)? What is the difference between "adyu", "proshchai" (goodbye) and "doshidanya" (goodbye)? When do we brew but sort out the mess and why do we keep silent but play the silent game?

You will be able to practice identifying endings and determining the morphemic composition of the word stem - the book contains tasks with answers for self-testing.

The life of words is fascinating and full of mysteries. Let's get down to linguistic detective stories!
