Anguish Languish by Howard L. Chace
"Anguish Languish" by Howard L. Chace is a book published in 1956. It presents a playful linguistic experiment where familiar stories and nursery rhymes are rewritten using English words that sound like the originals but have completely different meanings. Created to demonstrate how intonation shapes meaning in spoken English, Chace's homophonic transformations turn "Little Red Riding Hood" into "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut" and other delightful nonsense. The result is both a serious
study of language and an unexpectedly humorous collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
