This lecture gives an overview of the development of the English language from its roots as a group of West Germanic dialects spoken in the British Isles from the fifth century CE, to its present state as a 'world language'.
This includes a closer look at phonological, morphological, lexical and sociolinguistic features, as well as some exploration of the cultural and historical backgrounds to the linguistic development of English.
