5 Middle English
A CONCISE HISTORY OF ENGLISH 5 Middle English 5.1 Historical background of Middle English Th e development of the English language was strongly infl uenced by political changes following the Norman Conquest. In 1066, the Norman army led by William the Con- queror (Duke of Normandy) defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings and killed the last Anglo-Saxon king, Harold II. Th is event foreshadowed the end of the Old English and the beginning of the Middle English period. Th e linguistic eff ects of the ar- rival of the Normans became apparent with considerable delay, therefore the beginning of the Middle English period has been set by scholars to the end of the 11th century or even a later date. Th e traditional periodization distinguishes three subperiods of Middle English: Early Middle English (1100–1250), Ordinary Middle English (1250–1400), and Late Middle English (1400–1500). However, recent research suggests that Old English was not only spoken but also written for almost one hundred years aft er the Norman Conquest. Da Rold et al. (2010) suggest the following modifi cation of the traditional periodization: Updated Old English (1066–1150) Early Middle English (1150–1325) Late Middle English (1325–1500) When William the Conqueror became King William I of England, the Normans (Norsemen who had previously conquered Northern France) seized political, econom- ic, military, and religious power. Th ey became the lords of the Anglo-Saxon population, which, however, continued to speak English. Th e Normans spoke Norman French and at the beginning of their rule, most of them did not learn English and could not com- municate with the Anglo-Saxon population. -

My Autobiography
F SOLID GOLD MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY The Ultimate Rags to Riches Tale Forward by Robin Pilley David Gold, Chairman of Ann Summers, Gold Group International and West Ham United, is a man who has risen from humble and poverty stricken beginnings and achieved a status in life beyond what even he could have ever envisaged. Born an East End Jewish cockney lad, he was at the very bottom of life’s social strata. After a childhood characterised by war, poverty and disease he set out to change his life, and in the process he also changed the lives of everyone close to him. He understands and embraces the importance of change. He also changed the fortunes of his beloved football club, developed an iconic brand in Ann Summers and was influential in liberating the sexual behavior of the great British public. Now, Gold brings his unparalleled ability for change to his inspirational autobiography. This completely reworked edition, ‘The Ultimate Rags to Riches Tale’, focuses more on his personality, his remarkable business achievements, his life- affirming story and his reflections and recollections on a world that changed beyond recognition within his own lifetime. And most importantly, he speaks candidly about how he softened the British stiff upper lip and almost single-handedly brought sex onto the UK’s high streets and changed our sex lives for the better. No one has done more to prove that dreams can come true and now you can read his exceptional autobiography exclusively written to show just 2 what one man can achieve from the most humble beginnings. -

Though everybody agrees that languages change, opinions widely differ on what motivates these changes. There are, of course, many different reasons why languages change and the theories themselves have also changed over the last two centuries. While Jakob Grimm once suggested that the “superior gentleness and moderation” of northern Germanic tribes prevented their language from undergoing the Second Sound Shift, today, the most important theories on language change involve language acquisition and language contact (Crowley and Bowern, 12). Most historical linguists believe that language change is gradual. Lightfoot, however, argues that while languages may change gradually, in grammar, abrupt changes occur (83). In addition, he claims that whether language change seems gradual depends on which lens is used: “If we think macroscopically, […], using a wide-angle lens, then change always seems to be gradual” (ibid., 83). -

The only languages that are not prone to linguistic changes are dead languages. The scope of this survey is to emphasize the various changes in morphology found in the primary material, i.e. five different translations from the Bible written in different time intervals: Ælfric, Wycliffe, Tyndale, King James Bible and New American Standard Bible. The investigation aims to shed some light upon the inflectional modifications of pronouns, verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs that the English language has undergone during the last thousand years. The results of the study show that the English language has moved from being a highly inflective, synthetic language with many endings and cases, few prepositions and no real articles, to developing into a more analytic language with fewer inflectional markers and cases, and more grammatical words that substitute the old endings.
