by Joshua Steele (Author)
Prosodia Rationalis is a book written by Joshua Steele in 1779 that aims to establish a system for expressing and perpetuating the melody and measure of speech through unique symbols. The book explores the concept of prosody, which is the study of the rhythm, stress, and intonation of language. Steele argues that prosody is an essential aspect of effective communication and proposes a system for representing it using a set of symbols. The book provides a detailed analysis of the principles of prosody and includes numerous examples to illustrate its application. Steele's work is considered a significant contribution to the field of linguistics and has influenced the development of phonetics and phonology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
