English Language 11 класс

history of the English language begins with the appearance of

the islands of the Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, and Utah), which won Britain during the five century BC.

Scientists distinguish three periods in the history of the formation of the English language:
Old English (450 - 1100 AD.) Middle English (1100 - 1500 g.) New (modern) English (1500 - present)

spoke virtually the same language, which gave rise to the

formation of the ancient English. This language was not like the modern English language. However, about half of the most common words in a modern language are ancient roots. Old English was also influenced by the Scandinavian dialects. Romanization of language was a result of the spread of Christianity in this area in England. In 8-9 centuries in the language is changed to Latin.

Conqueror invaded and conquered England. The Normans brought with him

to the French state, which became the language of the Royal Court. In this period, in the language of class differences existed when the lower classes spoke English and spoke French to know language. In the 14th century English became the main language in Britain again, but it entered the vocabulary of so many words of French origin.

English grammar is developed independently. London dialect, the official state language and the fundamentals of the modern literary language was formed in the 15th century.

Ages began a significant change in the pronunciation of the

English language, when the vowels become shorter and shorter. From the 16th century, many new words and phrases entered the language system. Typography promote the standardization of the English language. Pronunciation and grammar become resistant and the London dialect became the standard. In 1604 it was published the first English dictionary. Later, the main differences between the early and late medieval English Modern English were visible in the dictionary.
