Learning outcomes
The module aims at introducing the students to the diacronic development of the English language.
Program
Starting from an overview of the main periods of English and its major structural developments through the centuries, the module will move to the exploration of the so-called rise of prescriptivism, with special regard to late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century concerns with ascertaining, refining, and fixing the English language as well as with the alleged influence of eighteenth-century normative works on language usage.
