Amcanion cyffredinol

This module introduces students to the development of the English language, from its origins in the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family to its present status as the most widely spoken language on the planet. We will examine both "internal" and “external” historical developments ranging from such topics such as changes in the sounds of the language and the ways sentences are structured to the social and political forces that carried English around the world. The goal of this module is to provide students with an understanding of the development of the English language by studying the linguistic changes that English has undergone from Old English through Middle English up to Present Day English. The module will also include considerations of how and why languages change, including the ways that social context and the cognitive organization of language make certain kinds of change more natural than others.

Aims:
- To lead students to a more detailed knowledge of the history of English via discussion and text analysis.
- To have students identify and explain general features of Old, Middle and Early Modern English.
- To encourage students to think creatively about questions raised by the history of English, and to raise questions of their own.
- To familiarise students with relevant literature.
- To give students an opportunity to acquire and practise using research skills appropriate to this field of study.
- To improve the students' general ability to observe, recognise and describe facts about the grammar and use of English.
