Learning outcomes

The course is aimed at providing an introduction to English linguistics through the study of the distinct phases of the history of the language, from its birth through to the present time. This insight into the history of English will allow students to consolidate their knowledge of the language thanks to an increased awareness of its origins, and of how it has developed and changed over the centuries. Adopting a sociolinguistic perspective, due consideration will be given to the role of historic and socio-cultural factors in the development and transformation of English, with a focus on the present time, and on the socio-cultural factors that have contributed to making English the global lingua franca.


Program

“The history of English from a sociolinguistic perspective”

The following historical periods will be considered:
-Old English
-Middle English
-Early Modern English
-Late Modern English
-Present Day English
For each of these periods, aspects related to the social and cultural history, and to relevant linguistic changes will be discussed, with a special focus on Present Day English.
