Publisher's Synopsis
Prosodia Rationalis: Or An Essay Towards Establishing The Melody And Measure Of Speech, To Be Expressed And Perpetuated By Peculiar Symbols (1779) is a book written by Joshua Steele. The book explores the idea of establishing a system of symbols to represent the melody and measure of speech. Steele argues that such a system would help people to better understand and communicate with each other, and would also help to preserve the spoken word for future generations. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the proposed system. Steele provides examples of the symbols he suggests using, and also discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of the system. The book is written in a scholarly style, and is aimed at linguists, educators, and anyone interested in the study of language and communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
