Слайд 4Why should we learn the History of the English language?

In studying the English language today, we are faced with

a number of irregularities which appear to be unintelligible from the modern point of view.
E.g. hit, get, but light, daughter, know or read
cut-cut-cut, but put-put-put
book-books, but man-men, foot-feet, mouse-mice,
child-children
The subject of the History of the English Language is a systematic study of the language development from the earliest times to the present day.

Why should we learn the History of the English language? In studying the English language today, we

Слайд 5There are approximately 7000 languages in the world. Languages

can be classified according to different principles.

The genealogical classification groups languages in accordance their origin from a common linguistic ancestor.
Genetically, English belongs to the Germanic group of languages, which is one of the groups of the IE language family.

Слайд 6

Слайд 7Indo-European family has 12 important branches: Indian, Iranian, Baltic, Slavonic,

Germanic, Romanic, Celtic, Greek, Albanian, Armenian, Hettish, and Tocharian. Thus

English belongs to the Germanic branch of Indo-European family while Ukrainian belongs to the Slavonic branch of the same family, which means that they have a common ancestor. It is usually referred to as Proto-Indo-European (PIE). It existed approximately 6000 years BC.

Indo-European family has 12 important branches: Indian, Iranian, Baltic, Slavonic, Germanic, Romanic, Celtic, Greek, Albanian, Armenian, Hettish,

Слайд 8Common Germanic branch later split up into three groups:
North

Germanic, represented only by Old Norse, which is also called

Old Icelandic;
West Germanic, including Old High German, Old Low German, Old Saxon, Old English and Old Frisian;
East Germanic group, represented by Gothic, Burgandian and Vandalic.
The latter three languages died and are not represented in classification of Modern Germanic languages.

Common Germanic branch later split up into three groups: North Germanic, represented only by Old Norse, which

Слайд 10In the 5th c. AD some of the Germanic tribes

which lived on the northern coast of Western Europe, namely

the Jutes, the Frisians, the Angles and the Saxons, crossed the channel and began to conquer Britain. The invasion started in 449 AD. Since this time we can speak about the English language proper. The history of the English language is usually subdivided into three periods:
Old English (OE) – V (VII) – XI cc.;
Middle English (ME) – XII – XV cc. ;
New English (NE) – XVI c. – present day

Слайд 11

Слайд 12The English scholar
Henry Sweet (1845-1912), author of

a number of works on the English language and on

its history, proposed
the following division of
the history of English according to the character of vowels in unstressed positions:
OE as the period of full endings (singan),
ME as the period of leveled endings (singen),
NE as the period of lost endings (to sing).

The linguistic boundaries between the periods are very close to the important social and political events
(V c. - the settlement
of the Germanic tribes,
VII c. - earliest writings,
XI c – the Norman Conquest,
XV c. the arising of
the English nation).

Слайд 13The Seven Kingdoms of the Heptarchy [ʹhepta:kı]
Germanic tribes formed in

Britain seven kingdoms: the Jutes formed Kent, the Saxons –

Essex, Wessex and Sussex, and Angles – East Anglia, Northumbria and Mercia.

Слайд 14OLD ENGLISH DIALECTS
The language is represented by four dialects: Northumbrian,

Mercian, Kentish and West-Saxon. Most of the manuscripts are in

West Saxon.

Слайд 15
Each of the periods may be characterized by

specific features in different aspects of the language: phonology, grammar

and vocabulary. If we approach the analysis of the English language of the OE period,
we have to mention, first of all, the shift of stress which took place in PG. If in PIE there were two kinds of stress - musical and dynamic, in Germanic languages only dynamic stress is preserved. In IE word stress was free and movable, in PG (and OE) it became fixed on the first syllable.

Each of the periods may be characterized by specific features in different aspects of the

Слайд 16Word Stress in PG
Due to the force of articulation

the stressed and unstressed syllables underwent different changes: stressed syllables were pronounced with great distinctness and precision, while unstressed syllables became less distinct and phonetically weakened.
PG *mak-oj-an
OE macian

Since the stress was fixed on the root, the weakening and loss of sounds mainly affected the affixes and grammatical endings. Many endings merged with the affixes, were weakened and dropped.

Goth. fisks,
OE fisc, OI fiskr

Слайд 20Jacob Grimm (1785 – 1863)

Слайд 21Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm

Слайд 22The changes of consonants in PG were first formulated in

terms of a phonetic law by

J. Grimm in 1822

The essence of Grimm’s Law
The type of articulation changes while the place of articulation is unchanged.
As a result there appeared more fricatives in PG than there were in PIE.
The correspondences were grouped under 3 acts.
Each of the acts covered quite a long period of time about 100 years and more.

The changes of consonants in PG were first formulated in terms of a phonetic law by

Слайд 23The First Consonant Shift (Grimm’s Law, PG Consonant Shift)

Rus. ты – OE þu Lat. altus → OE ald Lat. cord – Goth.

Слайд 26When Grimm's law was discovered, a strange irregularity was spotted

in its operation.
The PIE voiceless plosives p, t and

*k should have changed into PG *f , *θ and *x, according to Grimm's Law. Indeed, that was known to be the usual development. However, there appeared to be a large set of words in which the agreement of Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Baltic, Slavic etc. guaranteed PIE *p, *t or *k, and yet the Germanic reflex was voiced (*b, *d or *g).

When Grimm's law was discovered, a strange irregularity was spotted in its operation. The PIE voiceless plosives

Слайд 27Carl Verner (1787 – 1832)
Karl Verner, a Danish scholar, noticed

that a great number of exceptions
to Grimm's Law also

had a regularity
and system of their own, and
could be explained logically as well.
Comparing Sanskrit and Germanic cognates,
Verner was able to see that stress patterns in words had influenced the pronunciation of nearby consonants.

Carl Verner (1787 – 1832)Karl Verner, a Danish scholar, noticed that a great number of exceptions

Слайд 28Verner’s law explains regular correspondences of consonants which seemed to

contradict Grimm’s law were for a long time regarded as

exceptions.

According to Verner’s Law: All the early PG voiceless fricatives [f, θ, Χ], which appeared under Grimm’s Law, also [s] inherited from PIE, became voiced between vowels if the preceding vowel was unstressed; in the absence of these conditions they remained voiceless.
t → θ → ð → d Lat. altus → OE ald

Слайд 32Verner’s law accounts for the appearance of the voiced fricative

[р] or its later modifications [d]
in the place

of the voiceless [θ], which should be expected under Grimm’s law.
In LPG the phonetic conditions that caused
the voicing had disappeared – the stress had shifted to the 1st syllable. Part of the forms retained a voiceless fricative
While other forms – with a different position of stress in EPG – acquired a voiced fricative.

[θ] - [d]

Verner’s law accounts for the appearance of the voiced fricative [р] or its later modifications [d]

Слайд 33As a result of voicing by Verner’s Law there appeared

an interchange of consonants in the grammatical forms of the

Слайд 37These changes are important for us to know because

they explain the difference between

the words in different modern languages which are connected with the changes in the sounds [o] and [a]. Many words in Modern Germanic languages have [a], while in Modern Ukrainian or Russian there is [o], though these languages go back to IE: e.g. German Zaltz – Rus. соль, Ukr. (дай) солі, etc.

Слайд 40The Noun

Слайд 41Most nouns and adjectives in PG, and also many verbs,

had stem-forming suffixes.
According to stem forming suffixes nouns in

PG were divided into the following groups:

nouns with vowel stems – vocalic stems;
nouns with consonant stems – consonantal stems;
root nouns without stem forming suffixes – root stems.

Most nouns and adjectives in PG, and also many verbs, had stem-forming suffixes. According to stem forming

Слайд 42The Adjective
The Adjective agreed with the Noun in PG as

in other IE languages, e.g. Latin
Latin aqua bona

--- Gothic goþa ahwa
The Adjective in PG has two declensions
Strong Gothic blinds manna (a blind man)
Weak Gothic sa blinda manna (that blind man)

The AdjectiveThe Adjective agreed with the Noun in PG as in other IE languages, e.g. Latin

Слайд 43The Verb
.The majority of the verbs in PG and in

the OG languages fall into two large groups called strong

and weak. The main difference between them was in the means of building the basic forms (the Present Tense, the Past Tense and Participle II).
The terms strong and weak were proposed by J. Grimm; he called the verbs strong because they had preserved the richness of form since the age of PIE and could be contrasted to weak verbs lacking such variety of forms.

The Verb.The majority of the verbs in PG and in the OG languages fall into two large

Слайд 44STRONG AND WEAK VERBS
The strong verbs built their basic forms

with the help of

root vowels interchanges (ablaut) and certain grammatical endings.
E.g. Goth. faran – fōr – fōrun – farans (to go)
The weak verbs are a specifically Germanic innovation, for this way of building the basic forms is not found outside the Germanic group. They built the Past Tense and Participle II by inserting a dental suffix (ð, θ, d) between the root and the ending.
E.g. Goth. saljan – salida – saliþs (to give) OE locian – locode – locod (to look)
