Is learning Middle English or Old English like learning a whole different language if i already know mod. Eng?
Q. Also, in learning the English language in its entireity, would learning Latin be of benefit? or would that just be a waste of time?
Asked by sophia Grace - Thu Mar 13 21:22:29 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Having seen samples of Old and Middle English but not knowing it, I'd say it'd be somewhat similar to a native English speaker trying to learn German or Norwegian. There are points in common from the languages being related, but there are also large differences. Another problem with trying to learn the earlier versions of English is that spelling wasn't standardized until fairly recently. It can make things rather confusing. If you want to learn Latin, I say go ahead! The grammar is confusing at times, but knowledge is never a waste of time. So many words in English have been borrowed from Latin and related languages that an understanding of Latin could very well help understand the peculiarities of English. Hope that helps.

Did the Old English language rely on (word order) or (inflections) to communicate relationships between words?
Q. Please include a source!

A. Yes, mostly inflections. Take the word "whom" for example. You should be grateful for any answer at all, considering the fact that this is a free website and you're probably answering your hw questions with this answer.

A. The Scandinavians and English had a lot of contact with one another and could converse with one another in their respective languages. Influence flowed both ways as is always the case in such circumstances. The question of Old Norse and Old English influence on one another is interesting and a bit challenging. I suggest you contact a University where Old English and/or Old Norse are taught and speak with a professor. If none is in your area, contact the respective departments at University of California, Berkeley.

Dictionary, pick up some words, and then look up the words in the Oxford Eng. Dictionary to see how they evolved.

Sometime during the Viking Age ( eight to tenth century) Old Norse taka became Old Eng. taccan ousting "niman" to take. Consequently, unternehmer became undertaker designating any "contractor". Sometimes it took a special meaning as in "funeral undertaker". Finally, in America, undertaker was superseded by mortician, from Latin. I hope this… [cont.]

A. It's impossible to put a date on when the English language originated because it's in constant change. The People of England spoke Celtic languages before the arrival of the Romans in 43 AD. After the Roman occupation Latin became the language of the upper classes, the common people continued to use Celtic. The Romans occupied England for 400 years. When they moved out, People from the Germanic parts of the mainland began to move in looking for land. The Jutes, the Saxons, Angles,and others brought their German language to the Island. From about 750 to 950 AD raiders from Norway and Denmark known as Vikings made raids on outlying churches and monasteries.

A. The English language began with Anglo-Saxon, the language brought to England by the invading Angles and Saxons from Germany in the 7th century. This developed into the Old English of Chaucer (11th or 12th century) and then into Middle English with lots of French input from the Norman invaders. The English of the 16th and 17th centuries, such as Shakespeare and the King James Bible, is regarded by many as the pinnacle of the language with the most clear and precise form of expression.

did Old English became the language of religion and literature immediately after the Norman invasion?
Q. true or false? please read it careful! =)
Asked by Lauren Pastrana - Thu Jun 11 08:20:23 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. False, It's a TRICK question. Old English became slowly formed into MIDDLE English after the Norman Invasion. 1066 is often marked as the END of the Old English era, though it was a slow change into Middle English. In religion the language was most likely Latin, and in Politics and a good bit of literature the language in use was literally the lingua franca: Old Norman French. Later of course it formed slowly into the Middle English of Chaucer. You have some interesting texts such as Brut which show the transition, since it had heavy Old English vocab, yet it was written after the invasion. Any other questions?
