History of English Language (KELAS B)
Peserta: 44 Orang Pendaftaran: Dibuka
The history of a language is the history of the people who speak it, those who read and write it, and those who come into contact with it. This is a course in which we will examine the origin and development of the English language, from its earliest beginnings in the misty past, through Old English (or Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, Early Modern English, and Present Day English, and across the post-modern globe. Language is a fundamental cornerstone (perhaps the very foundation) of all human culture. It is, therefore, a vital part of who we are, and a knowledge of how language operates serves to explain, in part, how we came to be what we are. The study of what language is and how it changes, and how these changes are grounded in parallel cultural changes, is therefore a subject of intrinsic value, especially to those interested in literature, linguistics, history, and cultural studies.
