This class is designed as an introduction to the study of earlier stages of the English language. We will identify the essential characteristics of Old English, Middle English and Early Modern English and look at the differences and similarities between these previous forms of English. Among other things, this will enable us to explain and understand many seemingly irregular or illogical features of Present-day English such as irregular plural formations (e.g. ox – oxen), irregular verb forms (e.g. sing – sang – sung), the mismatch between pronunciation and spelling (e.g. see – sea; food – good) and the impressing range of quasi-synonyms (e.g. ask – question – interrogate). Thus, although the focus of this class is on earlier stages of English, a better understanding of Present-day English will also be gained.
