Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary
|
It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |

1828 Definition
PAREN'THESIS, n. [Gr. to insert.] A sentence, or certain words inserted in a sentence, which interrupt the sense or natural connection of words, but serve to explain or qualify the sense of the principal sentence. The parenthesis is usually included in hooks or curved lines, thus.
1913 Definition
A word, phrase, or sentence, by way of
comment or explanation, inserted in, or attached to, a sentence which
would be grammatically complete without it. It is usually inclosed
within curved lines (see def. 2 below), or dashes.
"Seldom
mentioned without a derogatory parenthesis." Sir T.
Browne.
Don't suffer every occasional thought to carry you away into a long parenthesis. Watts. One of the curved lines ()
which inclose a parenthetic word or phrase.
* Parenthesis, in technical grammar, is that part of a sentence which is inclosed within the recognized sign; but many phrases and sentences which are punctuated by commas are logically parenthetical. In def. 1, the phrase "by way of comment or explanation" is inserted for explanation, and the sentence would be grammatically complete without it. The present tendency is to avoid using the distinctive marks, except when confusion would arise from a less conspicuous separation. | ||||||||
