Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collection of British Authors, Tauchnitz Edition, Vol. 1 of 2: Vol; 1448, Manual of English Literature Language The reader will do well to keep in mind, or under his eye, the four following Schemes, or Synoptical Views, according to which the history of the English Language in its entire extent may be methodized: - 1. Original, Pure, Simple, or First English (commonly called Saxon, or Anglo-Saxon); Synthetic, or Inflectional, in its Grammar, and Homogeneous in its Vocabulary; 2. Broken, or Second English (commonly called Semi-Saxon), - from soon after the middle of the eleventh century to about the middle of the thirteenth - when its ancient Grammatical System had been destroyed, and it had been converted from an Inflectional into a Non-Inflectional and Analytic language, by the first action upon it of the Norman Conquest; 3. Mixed, or Compound, or Composite, or Third English, - since the middle of the thirteenth century - about which date its Vocabulary also began to be changed by the combination of its original Gothic with a French (Romance or Neo-Latin) element, under the second action upon it of the Norman Conquest.
