Abstract:

This collection of eleven essays traces the complex paths of change taken by
the English language in its long history, from its Indo-European origins to
the present day. Just like any other language, English is a complex system
made up of several interconnected sub-systems—lexical, syntactical,
phonological, morphological—and all of those sub-systems are subject to
change, resulting in constant shifts and readjustments. Additionally, more
than some other languages, English has a history marked by strong upheavals,
particularly with the influence of Scandinavian and Romance languages in the
Middle Ages. The contributions here consider all aspects of that complex
history, with four of them taking a particular interest in the issues brought
about by language contact with French and Latin.
