A Danish and Dano-Norwegian Grammar (Classic Reprint)

Danish or Norwegian language toE nglish speaking students I had very often felt the lack of a reliable grammar of the language, and finally I made up my mind to try to supply the want. Special conditions Of which I have not been master have caused the time intervening between the writing of this book and its appearance in print to be a good deal longer than it ought to have been, i.e. about two years, and meanwhile there have appeared a couple of Danish or Norwegian grammars that may deserve this name. Thie reason why I have given my book the somewhat cumbersome title of aD anish and Dano-N orwegian Grammar will be apparent from the I ntroduction. As regards the use of the book I would advise the student first to make up his mind, whether he wants to study the pureD anish language or theD ano-N orwegian language. This must to a large extent depend upon personal and practical considerations. The tourist, the commercial traveller, the merchant may need to study one branch of the language or the other; the literary student may wish to acquaint himself with genuine Danish, or he may wish to study the vernacular of Bj0rnson and I bsen. As a general rule I would say that theD anish pronunciation offers, with its glottal catch and other peculiarities, more difficulties to theE nglish speaking student than theN orwegian pronunciation.
