EN360 History of the English Language

History of the English language from its Indo-European roots and Germanic origins to its establishment in the United States. The central goal of the course is to acquaint students with the development of English phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, vocabulary, and graphics. As we move through different chronological stages of the English language, we will focus on different types of linguistic change. While this is not a grammar course per se, it does assume a basic grasp of the structure and conventions of Present-Day English.
