Enrichment - Modes of Enrichment.

In /On the occasion of/ the explanation of the modes in which a language is capable of being enriched, two objects require to be considered, viz. 1. The source from which the addition is derived; 2. The mode in which it is made.

Say enrichment ab intra, or home-drawn, in so far as the addition is drawn from the same language, - ab extra, in so far as it is drawn from any foreign language.

Simple modes of enrichment are

1. Designation /Indication/ of particular properties as applied to a given genus - as expressed by a generic name of any degree of amplitude. Examples of this mode of enrichment are afforded by the several branches of Natural History and natural philosophy.

2. Spiritualization or psychologization; in so far as of any name of any physical substance, operation or quality, application is made to the purpose of giving designation to any correspondent, or supposed correspondent, psychological substance, operation, or quality. Give example, the psychological object being modelled from the physical archetype, as a bust in clay from any part of the human figure.
