The English Language
Summary: The English language has taken over the centuries has seen words introduced to the language, it has seen words replaced, or altered, and has seen words become obsolete. These changes have all been done to the language to modify it for society's needs in this age of technology and communication.

Over the previous two centuries English, as it began gradually shaped itself into English as we know it. This subtle, however highly notable distortion of [pic]the English language can be owed to several different reasons including the spread of the English Empire which spread English internationally allowing countries to adopt the language and alter it to their liking as well as the influence of media, television and movies.

    English 4 (Monsters) Assignment 02

    During the Dark Ages, the area of Britannia was invaded and conquered many times, by many different cultures. You had the German speaking Vikings, the Celtic speaking Celts, and the Latin speaking romans. All of them influenced on the English language, and in different ways allowed it to change. The influences came from war, stories, migration, and many other things. When you get all of those different people together you make a melting pot for language, which they will all try to make a common tongue to communicate to each other with. Thus leading to the evolution of the English…

    The Germanic languages of the Anglo Saxons themselves evolved as a result of centuries of Roman occupation and interaction among different tribes.[1] Furthermore the invaders did not introduce a single language that can be referenced as ‘ground zero’ for English; rather they brought a mix of dialects that together form the basis of the language. Changes in lexis, orthography, semantics and syntax, the influence from other languages, and modifications in use have combined to produce a language that is, at first glance very different from its Germanic origins. I intend considering the extent to which the English language has changed over the last 1500 years, with particular reference to these linguistic features…

    Politics and the English Language by George Orwell

    Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration: so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers. I will come back to this presently, and I hope that by that time the meaning of what I have said here will have become clearer. Meanwhile, here are five specimens of the English language as it is now…

    The conquest of the Celtic population in Britain by speakers of West Germanic dialects (primarily Angles, Saxons, and Jutes) eventually determined many of the essential characteristics of the English language. (The Celtic influence on English survives for the most part only in place names--London, Dover, Avon, York.) Over time the dialects of the various invaders merged, giving rise to what we now call "Old English."…

    Where Is the English Language Heading?

    Throughout history, the English language has evolved in many ways through different countries. Anglo Saxon spoken from Tribes in Britain became the common language, what we call Old English. Although modern English may sound different from Old English, there are several words that are recognizable and similar. However, there are also a great amount of changes that were made throughout the past and till this day. In today’s generations, media such as, Internet, music, movies and television has significantly influenced the English language. Most people would argue that English is continuing to evolve for the better; others would say that English is devolving. As I see it, the English language is declining based on the observation in the film, Black Knight.…
