Standard French retained the status of a formal and had a significant influence on the language today.For example, most modern English speakers consider a cordial reception (from French) to be more formal than a hearty welcome (from Germanic). 23Deep Class Rift Three languages existing simultaneously continued for over a centuryFrench by the officials, Latin by church or universities, English by the English common people24the Statues of English English literature reappeared after 1200, when a changing political climate and the decline in Anglo-Norman made it more respectable. The Provisions of Oxford牛津条约牛津条约, released in 1258, was the first English government document to be published in the English language after the Norman Conquest. 25In 1362, Edward III became the first king to address Parliament in English. John Wycliff s translation of the Bible into English the writings of Chaucer, Langland (English poet) in English and others.By the end of the century, even the royal court had switched to English.26The ChangesThe English language changed enormously both in grammar and in vocabulary. Grammar distinctions were lost as many noun and adjective endings were leveled to -e. The older plural noun marker -en largely gave way to -s,grammatical gender was discarded. English spelling with the / and / sounds being spelled th rather than with the Old English letters (thorn) and (eth)27Modern English(1500A.D.present)1.Early Modern English (1500-1800) 2.Late Modern English (1800-present)28Early Modern English (1500-1800) the Great Vowel ShiftRenaissance and ShakespeareThe invention of printing English dictionaryThe King James Bible29The GVS(元音大推移）元音大推移）Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden and distinct change in pronunciation (the Great Vowel Shift) started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. 30Renaissance and ShakespeareHe expanded the scope of English literature by introducing new words and phrases,experimenting with blank verse, and also introducing new poetic and grammatical structures.31William Shakespeare invented about 2000 new words and phrases in Renaissance.For example:eyeball.anchovy.puppy-dog;dauntless无谓的，besmirch糟蹋lacklustre死气沉沉；alligator,crocodile;hobnob对饮32 Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Printing also brought standardization to English. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London, where most publishing houses were, became the standard. The Invention of Printing William Caxton33The Dictionary of the English Language was the first full featured English dictionary. To a high degree, the dictionary standardized both English spelling and word usage.The Dictionary of the English LanguageSamuel Johnson34the King James Bible1611a new translation of the Biblebegate a whole glossary of metaphorand moralityshape the way English is spoken today35Late Modern English (1800-Present) the Industrial Revolution and technology created a need for new words; the English language adopted foreign words from many colonies . English variation36the Industrial Revolution and TechnologyMany more new words were coined for the new products, machines and processes that were developed at this time e.g. train, pulley（滑车）, combustion（氧化）, piston(活塞）, hydraulic（液压的）, condenser（电容器）, electricity, telephone, telegraph, lithograph（平版印刷）, camera, etc. 37 New words created by combination were particularly popular e.g. railway, horsepower, typewriter, cityscape, airplane, etc.38British EmpireDuring the 19th century,due to the expansion of the British empire,English speakers borrowed words from hundreds of the different language .they typically only borrowed words for things that were new to them,such aslocal foods(yam,banana)anmals(skunk,moose)tools (boomerang）weather phenomena(typhoon,)places(Chicago,Michigan)39Colonial Expansion40Varieties of English-American EnglishFrom around 1600, the English colonization of North America resulted in the creation of a distinct American variety of English. American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English is.41Today, some 4,000 words are used differently in the USA and Britain lift/elevator, tap/faucet, bath/tub, curtains/drapes, biscuit/cookie and boot/trunk American usage is driving out traditional words and phrases back in Britain e.g. truck for lorry, airplane for aeroplane, etc.42 American spelling is also becoming more commonplace in Britain e.g. wagon for waggon, reflection for reflexion,etc.43Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the USAs dominance of cinema, television, popular music, trade and technology (including the Internet).44Internet EnglishNew internet wordsdownload(1980);toolbar(1991);firewar(1990);blog(1990);poke(2004)AbbreviationIMHO（in my humble oppion)BTW(by the way)(FYI)for your imformationug2bk(you ve got too bee kiding )你太夸张了45 But there are many other varieties of English around the world, for example Australian English, New Zealand English, Canadian English, South African English, and Indian English. etc.46English became colorful, graceful and rich for the vocabulary was expended largely with many Latin and French word.English kept its pure, plain and developed its own individuals,for the clarity of sentence structure, and progress of grammar.47
