adam_text	ЬРЖГ РЕ EARDENA in gear-dagum ^eodcyninga ]эгут gefrunon hu õa se^elingas ellen fremedon The text above is the beginning of the epic poem, Beowulf, one of the earli¬ est works in English literature. Yes, the words above are English, Old Eng¬ lish, to be exact. It is English as it was spoken in the first millennium of our era. As you can see, it is quite different from the English you speak today. In The History of English: Λ Linguistic Introduction, you will learn about the his¬ tory of English from prehistoric times, before the advent of writing, to its Germanic ancestry, the conquest of Britain, its flowering in the Middle Ages, and its status today as an international language. While learning about its history, you will be introduced to various topics in historical and theoreti¬ cal linguistics. You will learn about aspects of the grammar of the various stages of the language, and you will be introduced to authentic texts from each period. The History of English is for everyone interested in learning more about the history of the language and for mose who would like a first introduction to the study of language, linguistics. Scott Shay is a linguist and author of books on Germanic linguistics. He re¬ ceived a Master of Arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Germanic linguistics. $19.95 ISBN 47fl-D-blS-lbftl7-3 90000 Wardja Press San Francisco · Washington / wardja.com Language Arts & Disciplines / Linguistics Contents PREFACE ..........................................................................
