THE LINGUISTIC HERITAGE OF MODERN ENGLISH
Journal Title: ІНОЗЕМНА ФІЛОЛОГІЯ - Year 2016, Vol 129, Issue
Abstract

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.
