Cultural notes and warm-up questions. 1) Cultural notes (1) History of EnglishThe roots of English: English began as a west Germanic language which was brought to England by the Saxons around 400 A.D. Old English

5、 was the spoken and written language of England between 400 and 1100 A.D. Many words used today come from Old English, including man, woman, king, mother, etc. But Old English was very different from modern English and only a few words can be easily recognized. In the 9th and 10th centuries, when Vi

6、kings invaded England, Old Norse words, e.g. sky, take and get and many place names, entered the language.From the Norman Conquest (1066) until the late 12th century English was replaced as the official language by Norman French, though English was still used by the lower classes. English from about

7、 1300 to 1500 is known as Middle English. It was influenced by French and also Latin in vocabulary and pronunciation. French brought many words connected with government, e.g. sovereign, royal, court, legal and government itself. Latin was the language of religion and learning and gave to English wo

8、rds such as minister, angel, master, school and grammar. Litera-ture began again to be written in English during this period. One of the most famous Middle English works is Chaucers The Canterbury TalesThe development of Modern English: Modern English developed from the Middle English dialect of the

9、 East Midlands and was influenced by the English used in London, where a printing press was set up by William Caxton in 1476. English changed a great deal from this time until the end of the 18th century. During the Renaissance, many words were introduced from Greek and Latin to express new ideas, e

10、specially in science, medicine and philosophy. They included physics, species, architecture, encyclopedia and hypothesis. In the 16th century several versions of the Bible helped bring written English to ordinary people. The Elizabethan period is also famous for its drama, and Shakespeares plays wer

11、e seen by many people.The development of printing helped establish standards of spelling and grammar, but there remained a lot of variation. Samuel Johnsons A Dictionary of the English Language (1755) was the first authoritative treatment of English. It defined about 40,000 words and gave examples o

12、f their use.By the 18th century American English was established and developing independently from British English. After colonists arrived in the US new words began to be added from Native American languages, and from French and Spanish. In 1783, soon after Johnsons dictionary was published, Noah W

13、ebsters The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the US. At first it used Johnsons spellings, but later editions contained many of what have come to be known as American spellings, e.g. harbor and favorite.20th Century English: During the 19th and early 20th centuries many dictionaries and book

14、s about language were published. New words are still being added to English from other languages, including Chinese (feng shut) and Japanese (karaoke). Existing words gain new senses, and new expressions spread quickly through television and the Internet. English is now an international language and

15、 is used as a means of communication between people from many countries. As a result the influences on the English language are wider than ever and it is possible that World English will move away from using a British or American standard and establish its own international identity.(2) Winston Chur

16、chill (1874-1965)a politician who is remembered as one of Britains greatest statesmen. He was the son of the Conservative politician Lord Randolph Churchill and his American wife Jennie. As a young man he served as a soldier in India and Egypt, and as a journalist in South Africa, before entering po

17、litics. Churchill became Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in 1940. His radio speeches during World War II gave the British people a strong determination to win the war, especially at times of great crisis. Examples of Churchills phrases still often quoted today are “I have nothing to offer but

18、 blood, toil, tears and sweat“, and “This was their finest hour“. The Conservative Party led by Churchill lost the election of 1945, but he became Prime Minister again from 1951 to 1955 when he retired, aged 80.

21、 they were also noted for their skill in building ships and as sailors. They had an important influence on English culture and the English language.(5) Normanany of the people from Normandy in northern France who settled in England after their leader William defeated the English king at the Battle o

22、f Hastings in 1066. The Normans took control of the country, a process known as the Norman Conquest. They used many of the existing Anglo-Saxon methods of government of the state and the church, but added important aspects of their own and made government much more effective. The language of governm

23、ent became first Latin, and then Norman French, and this caused many new words to be added to the existing English language.(6) William Caxton (c. 1422-1491)the man who set up the first printing firm in Britain. He printed his first book in 1474. By printing books in English, Caxton had a strong inf

24、luence on the spelling and development of the language. Many of the books he published were French stories which he translated himself. (7) Otto Jespersen (1860-1943)Danish philologist, grammarian, and educationist. He promoted the use of the “direct method“ in language teaching with the publication

25、 of his theoretical work How to Teach a Foreign Language (1904). Other books include his seven-volume Modern English Grammar (1909-1949). (8)Norsethe official language of Norway.
