- Stages Of The Development
| Main Part
Objectives: To delve deeply into history and to study the language regarding it not as an isolated system but as a natural mechanism that cannot be separated from the human’s mind and history. Tasks: To speculate about a complicated structure of the language in order to make its usage meditative and deliberate. To study the process and causes of forming modern English. To examine how historical events influenced the development of the language. Stages Of The Development In my research work I’d like to tell you about the history and derivation of English words. The language is referred to Germanic languages. It was first spoken in early medieval England and is now the most widely used language in the world. Its history is rather rich. It is presented in three periods: the Old English, the Medieval English and the New English. I’m going to represent all the periods, so let’s start with the very beginning. The roots of the language originated in Germanic North Sea and were brought to the British Isles by German tribes. Those tribes were Angles, Saxons and Jutes. They encroached upon the Isles after the Romans had lost their power. So, their language was the Old English. Old English The period of the Old English epoch lasted from 450 to 1066 AD. During that time the language was normally developing like any other Germanic language. The direction of the developing was determined by the overall steadiness of the historical period. The vocabulary of the Old English was rather extensive. It contained about 50 000 words. These words were mainly native. They could be divided into a number of strata. Language structure Stratum I Mutual Indo-European derivation This stratum is the oldest one. The roots of the words came from ancient times at the dawn of all the Indo-European languages. Thus, we can find related words in various languages of this group. I will show it to you using some languages including Russian as an example.
