Историю английского языка многие филологи и лингвисты делят на три периода: древнеанглийский, среднеанглийский и новоанглийский. Однако деление это достаточно условное, потому что язык существовал у племен, населявших Британские острова, задолго до завоевания Британии Цезарем или распространения на территории страны христианства.

ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The English scholar and diplomat William Jones (18th c.), working in India as a
British judge, noticed certain features in the vocabulary and grammar of
Sanskrit (the ancient classical language of India) that were shared with Latin
and Greek and other European languages.
He asserted that these languages developed from a common
source language. He identified the source language as Sanskrit
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Interest in the discovery mounted and, early in the 19th century,
Sanskrit was being studied in the West.
the 19th century is the era of historical-comparative
linguistics, led by German scholarship:
the Dane Rasmus Rask
the Germans Franz Bopp and Jacob Grimm
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The comparative method is a technique for studying the
development of languages by performing a feature-by-feature
comparison of two or more languages with common descent
from a shared ancestor.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The German scholar Franz Bopp
was the first to work out some of
the relationships between the
languages, showing how they
were related.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The Danish scholar Rasmus
Rask recognized that there were
regular sound shifts between
languages,
but it was left to a German
scholar Jacob Grimm who
deduced regular rules of sound
change
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
August Schleicher (1821–68) set about reconstructing the
hypothetical parent language from which most European
languages were derived – the protolanguage.
He also devised the genealogical family-tree model of the Indo-
European languages.

ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The Indo-European family of languages, has developed out
of some single language, which must have been spoken
thousands of years ago by some comparatively small body of
people in a relatively restricted geographical area.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
This original language we can call Proto-Indo-European (PIE).
The prefix proto- was introduced to indicate a hypothetical
language that had left no documentation, but which could be
reconstructed by the method of comparison
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Proto-Indo-European (PIE) - some single language, which
must have been spoken thousands of years ago by some
comparatively small body of people in a relatively restricted
geographical area
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Proto-Germanic (PG) - a dialect of Indo-European all Germanic
languages are descended from
We have no records of the PG.
We can reconstruct it by comparing the various daughter
languages, especially valuable are languages with early literary
records, Gothic in particular.

ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
In the 4th c. Goths were Christianized by a missionary named Ulfilas (311–383).
Our knowledge of Gothic is almost wholly due to a translation of the Gospels and
other parts of the New Testament made by Ulfilas.
Except for some runic inscriptions in Scandinavia it is the earliest record of a
Germanic language we possess.
Gothic is important in giving information about early forms of Germanic.

One important aspect of PIE is that it was an inflected
language.
PG is a highly inflected language, like PIE.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
In PG the stress was put on the 1st syllable (fixed accent),
in PIE – it could fall on any syllable (free accent).
The tendency in PG to stabilize the accent on the 1st syllable had
profound consequences. It led to a weakening and often loss of
unstressed syllables, especially at the end of the word

3. THE FIRST CONSONANT SHIFT.
GRIMM’S LAW
“the 1st soundshifting”;
after the early 19th c. philologist
Jakob Grimm, who analysed it.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Grimm began with the assumption that Sanscrit, Greek, Latin
and other European languages had a common ancestor.
This common ancestor, which we will call Proto-Indo-European,
can be reconstructed by examining its descendants.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
FATHER
Sanskrit – pitar
Latin – pater
Ancient Greek – pāter
English – father
Because the “p” sound appears in a wider variety of languages,
it is assumed to be ancestral and the “f” in English to be derived
from a consonant shift.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
GRIMM’S LAW
It consists of 3 major consonant
changes.

VERNER’S LAW.
THE SECOND CONSONANT SHIFT (1875)
Certain apparent exceptions to
Grimm’s Law were subsequently
explained by Karl Verner (a
Danish scholar) and others.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
VERNER’S LAW.
Karl Verner showed that voiceless
fricatives became voiced if the
preceding syllable was unstressed, but
otherwise remained unchanged.

THE HIGH GERMAN CONSONANT SHIFT
The High German Consonant Shift or the Second German
Consonant shift was a series of sound changes which
separates the Upper High German dialects from other West
Germanic languages such as Modern English, Dutch, and
Low German.
There are three major steps of this sound shift,
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The first stage is where the three voiceless stops became
weakened into the closest fricative equivalents:
/p/ → /f/
/t/ → /s/
/k/ → /x/
Cf. English grip – German Grif
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The second stage of the shift involved the same voiceless
stops as the first stage. However, this only afected geminated,
liquid-adjacent (-l, -r) and nasal-adjacent forms. Those stops
became Africates.
/p/ → /pf/
/t/ → /ʦ/
/k/ → /kx/
Cf. Gth. twai, OE twa – OHG zwei
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The third part of the stage involves the Voiced stops becoming
voiceless stops. This involves the following:
/b/ → /p/
/d/ → /t/
/g/ → /k/
Cf. English flood – German Flut

4. PERIODS IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH
Traditionally, the history of the English
language is divided into 3 major periods.
This division was first proposed by an
English philologist, Henry Sweet, in
1873.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
PERIODS IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH
Old English (AngloSaxon) (5 c.1066) =
the period of full inflexions;
Middle English (1066 – 1485) = of
levelled inflexions;
Modern English (1485 ...) = of lost
inflexions.

5. THE EARLIEST INHABITANTS
OF THE BRITISH ISLES.
The earliest inhabitants of the British Isles, whose language we
can reconstruct, were Celtic speakers.
The Celts had been living in England until being invaded by the
Romans (the Emperor Claudius) in 43 AD
But, Latin never overtook the Celtic language.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
It was inevitable that the military conquest of Britain should
have been followed by the Romanization of the province.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
By the beginning of the 5th century the Roman Empire was
under increasing pressure from advancing barbarians, and the
Roman garrisons in Britain were being depleted as troops were
withdrawn to face threats closer to home.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
In A.D. 410, the same year in which the Visigoths entered and
sacked Rome, the last of the Roman troops were withdrawn and
the Britons had to defend themselves.
Facing hostile Picts and Scots in the north and Germanic raiders
in the east, the Britons decided to hire one enemy to fight the
other: they engaged Germanic mercenaries to fight the Picts and
Scots.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Germanic mercenaries were from three Germanic nations: the
Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes.
The mercenaries succeeded quickly in defeating the Picts and
Scots and then being attracted by the British fertile lands began
to conquer England —a slow-moving conquest that would take
more than a century.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
About the year 449 AD began the invasion of Britain by certain
Germanic tribes, the founders of the English nation.
The Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain mustn’t be thought of as
the arrival of a unified invading army, but rather as the arrival
and penetration of various uncoordinated bands of adventurers
in diferent parts of the country, beginning in the mid 5th c. and
going on all through the 6th c.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
But by about 700, the Anglo-Saxons had occupied most of
England and a considerable part of southern Scotland (the
exceptions being Cornwall and an area in the North West).
Wales remained a British stronghold
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The language of Anglo-Saxons became the dominant one. The
failure of Celtic to influence OE doesn’t mean that the Britons
were all killed or driven out.
The Britons were a defeated people whose language had no
prestige compared with that of the conquerors.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
6. OE HEPTARCHY.
In the 7th c. Germanic tribes set up seven kingdoms called the AngloSaxon
Heptarchy, rule of the seven kingdoms .
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Kent
Northumbria
Mercia (West Midlands)
Wessex (central Southern England)
East Anglia
Essex
Sussex
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
At first, Kent was probably of major importance. It was to Kent
that the first Roman Christian missionaries came, notably St.
Augustine in 597
In the 7th c. the Northumbria was very powerful, and was a
great center of learning. The monasteries of Northumbria
produced beautiful manuscripts of the Bible.
In the 8th c. this leadership passed to Mercia
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
In the 9th c. = Wessex, centred at Winchester; and it was the
kings of Wessex who finally unified the country : (in the late 9th
c., the kings of Wessex, notably King Alfred, saved the South
and West of England from the Danes ((The Scandinavian Invasions
of England. The Viking Age IXXI c.),
886, the Treaty Wedmore: king Alfred established a truce with the Danish
leader . The Dane Law.
and in the 10th c. Alfred’s successors reconquered the North
and the East.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
THE VIKING INVASIONS
793, the Vikings, from Scandinavia, sacked and burned the
monastery of Lindisfarne, beginning a century of destruction
and cultural collapse.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
in 850, large Danish fleet began to arrive in England, and the
Vikings began to conquer as well as pillage.
Eventually almost all of northern and eastern England was under
their control.
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Alfred, the king of Wessex, was able to rally his kingdom and
defeat the Vikings. This led to a treaty between the Viking king
Guthrum and Alfred, The Treaty of Wedmore (878).
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
The treaty defined the territory (from Chester to London) which
was to be subject to Danish law and is hence known as the
Danelaw.
In addition the Danes agreed to accept Christianity,
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
KING ALFRED
Wessex became the seat of AS intellectual,
literary, and political life;
ruled from 871 to 899;
brought together scholars to begin a project of
educational reform;
commissioned the translation of key works of
Latin learning into OE
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
OE DIALECTS
The surviving texts form the OE period are in 4 main
dialects:
West saxon! (the literary standard)
Kentish
Mercia
Anglian
Northumbria
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
ИСТОРИЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА
Although West Saxon became the
literary standard of unified England, it
is not the direct ancestor of modern
standard English, which is mainly
derived from an Anglian dialect
