Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. The course presents an introduction to the history of the English language and following the progression of the language from Germanic to Old, Middle and Modern English, it aims at imparting a better understanding of questions such as: What are the linguistic roots of English? Why are there similarities and differences between German and English? How did the pronunciation and the sound system change from Old to Modern English? Why has English lost most of its inflections? How was the English vocabulary expanded during its history? Why do we have differen varieties of English today? You will learn about those language changes that shaped up Present Day English and contributed to a number of its curiosities such as the system of tenses or the discrepancy between spelling and pronunciation - one of the major difficulties for ESL students.
