THE LINGUISTIC HERITAGE OF MODERN ENGLISH

Journal Title: ІНОЗЕМНА ФІЛОЛОГІЯ - Year 2016, Vol 129, Issue

Abstract

In historical linguistics, the why’s and how’s of change have always been dominant in the scholarly discussion. However, for the complex history of the English language it is equally legitimate to look at continuity, and I have accordingly here put together my ideas about retentions and concentrated on festues that have remained stable over the centuries.
