This book is written for students of English who are interested in
the history of the language and would like to read an accessible
but also comprehensive and reasonably detailed introduction. Apart
from basic information about language change and the Indo-European
background of English, it gives an outline of the major periods of
the language (Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English and
Late Modern English), with a brief examination of the perspectives
of present-day English. Each period chapter provides information
about the socio-historical background, the core areas of linguistic
structure, discourse, speech acts and genres, and concludes with
study questions and exercises.
