Papers

  1. The Philosophy of Grammar (1924)

  2. Negation in English and Other Languages (1917)
    A short book of about 150 pages on negation, written from examples that Jespersen collected by hand on slips over his career.
  3. A Modern English Grammar on Historical Principles, Parts II–VI (1914)
    Jespersen's multi-volume descriptive grammar of English, written over four decades, covers the language from Shakespeare to the 1930s and explains each present-day form through its history.
