Garner, Samuel (¿?-1880-1911-¿?)
Record details
Vida
No conservamos apenas datos de la vida de Samuel Garner aparte de los reflejados en sus publicaciones de finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX. Samuel Garner fue un filólogo románico, profesor de lenguas romances en la Academia Naval de los Estados Unidos en torno al año de 1900 y, gracias a sus publicaciones, podemos deducir que estaba especializado en francés y español.
Las primeras publicaciones de Garner estuvieron dedicadas a la lengua francesa, concretamente al subjuntivo, «The So-Called Subjonctif Dubitatif, je ne sache pas, in the Principal Clause» (The American Journal of Philology, vol. 1, nº 2, 1880, págs. 197-202) y «Je ne Sache pas, again» (The American Journal of Philology, vol. 2, nº 6, 1881, págs. 213-218). Más adelante, Garner dio a la luz entre 1887-1889 una serie de artículos sobre el gerundio de las lenguas romances, bajo el título de «The Gerundial Construction in the Romanic Languages». Samuel Garner también reseñó obras relacionadas con la lingüística y publicó ediciones de las obras de Víctor Hugo (1802-1885), Ruy Blas (Boston, D.C. Heath & Co., 1894); y de Manuel Bretón de los Herreros (1796-1873), ¿Quién es ella?, a la que añadió un vocabulario español-inglés. En 1901, Samuel Garner publicó su gramática del español, A Spanish grammar for the use of colleges and schools. El volumen se centra en la gramática y la sintaxis necesarias para la correcta lectura del español a través de once lecciones, e incluye ejercicios prácticos de traducción y de pronunciación, así como una serie de textos de lectura. Se completa con dos vocabularios inglés-español y español-inglés. Una de las últimas obras que se conocen de Garner es otra gramática del español, publicada diez años después de la primera, bajo el título de Essentials of Spanish Grammar. En este nuevo volumen, Garner presenta los aspectos gramaticales de forma simplificada, aunque distribuidos en un mayor número de lecciones –un total de cuarenta y nueve–, y completa su gramática de nuevo con sendos vocabularios en español y en inglés.
