History of the English Language is divided into 3 periods:Old

English (O.E.), Middle English (M.E.) and Modem English. The O.Eperiod

begins about 700 AD (the time to which the earliest writings inEnglish

belong) and lasts till about 1100 (the year 1066 is the year ofthe Norman

Conquest). The middle English period lasts since 1100 till aboutthe end of the

XV century (in 1485 the Wars of the Red and White Roses came toan end, in

1475 printing was introduced in Britain). The years 1100 and1500 can not be

taken literally. There are conventional.

The Old English Period

Phonetic Structure

Vowels

In Old English there are monophthongs and diphthongs. All OE

vowels can be short and long.

Short vowels a, x , e, o, u, y, a, ea, eo, ie, io

Long vowels a, x , ё, о, u, у, й ;: ea, eo, ie, io

Consonants

The OE consonants included: labial sounds p, b, m, f, v:dental

sounds t, d, p, 6, n, s, r, 1; velar sounds с, з , h.

Some consonant letters denote different sounds in differentpositions.

The letteef, v, p, 6, s, z, denote voiced sounds between 2vowels

(hlaford) and between a vowel and a voiced consonant(Wednesday). At

the end and the beginning of words and between voicelessconsonants these

letters denote voiceless consonants: wif, his, pis.

The letter 3 denotes different sounds in differentpositions,

1. Initially before consonants and before back vowels and after-n-

it denotes [g] sod (good), sinsvan (sing)

2. After back vowels and after 3 and r it denotes the velarvoiced

fficative[y] da3 as (day), fol3 ian (follow)

3. Initially before front vowels and after back vowels itdenotes

the palatal voiced fricative [ j 1 ]: 3 iefan (give), wtes(way), зеаг

(year)

4. сз denotes double g [ gg' ]: sec3an (say)

The most important phonetic changes in Old English

The OE Breaking

In OE short vowels a and e were diphthongized before certain

consonant clusters ч>еа before “r” + consonant, “1” +consonant, “h” +

consonant and before h in the final position,

*aehta>eahta (eight), aeld>eald (old), e>eo before r +consonant, h +

consonant, before 1c, Ih and h final: herte>hearte (heart),selh>seolh (seal).

The phonemic essence of breaking is that the front vowel ispartially

assimilated to the following hard consonant by forming a glidewhich

combines with the vowel to form a diphthong,

i-mutation

This type of change is caused by an i (or j) of the followingsyllable.

The essence of this process - regressive assimilation,

a> ,e * sandian>sendan (send)

ae>e * taslian>tellan (tell)

6>e * wopian>wepan (weep)

u>y * fullian>fyllan (fill)

Lengthening of Vowels

In OE vowels were lengthened before Id, nd, mb:cild>c!ld,

climban>cirmban (climb).

If the combination Id, nd, mb, was followed by anotherconsonant,

lengthening does not take place cildru (children).

Palatalization of Consonants

The consonant c before a front vowel was palatalizes and

approached the sound [t/] cild>cKTld.

In a similar way sc became palatalized and approached[|]:scip>ship.

Likewise 3 or сз changed into [d3]

Ьгусз >bridge.

Metathesis

Metathesis is a phonetic change which consists in two sounds

changing their places: pridda>f)irda (third).

The sound n was lost before the fricatives h, f, s, p. Thepreceding

vowel became lengthened.

*fin£>fff (five)

* 3ons> 30s (goose)

Stress

Stress in OE mostly falls on the first syllable of a word: 'hlaford, cyning.

Words beginning with a prefix have their stress on the rootsyllable:

onfeinnan (begin).

Vocabulary

The Old English vocabulary consists mainly of native wordsand

borrowed (loan) words.

Native words include:

1. Common Indo-European words which were inherited from theIndo-

European parent language. For example:

nouns: faedcr (father), modor (mother), nosu (nose), niht(night);

adjectives: 1опз (long), neowe (new);

verbs: sittan (sit), life an (lie), beon „standan (stand);

pronouns: pu (thou), ic (I);

numerals: twa (two), eohte (eight);

2. Common Germanic words. For example:

nouns: land (land), sx (sea), sand (sand), hus (house),winter

(winter), hand (hand);

verbs: findian (find), sin3an (sing), seon (see), sprecan(speak);

adjectives: grene (green), earm (poor), heah (high), bleo(blue);

3. Specially English words, not found in any other languages.They

are not numerous: clipian (call).

Most often these are compound words.

Wimman (woman) wtf (wife) + man (man);

Hlaford (lord) hlaf (bread) + weard (ward);

ealne we3 (always) eal (all) + we3 (way).

Wordbuilding

Morphological word-building is subdivided into two types:

affixation and composition.

Examples of affixation: Ь'аНз (holy); on-3 innan (begin);cTld-had

(сЫ1сМЦ; freandscipe (friendship);

Examples of composition: goldsmif) (goldsmith); wnd-cQf)(well-

known).

Borrowings

In Old English there were Latin and Celtic borrowings.

Latin borrowings

Latin borrowings may be classified into two layers.

The first layer

The first layer is the oldest layer. The words o f this layerwere

borrowed either directly from the Romans when the Anglo-Saxonslived in

Europe (before they settled in Britain) or from Celticinhabitants of Britain.

These borrowings include names of objects of material cultureand names of

products which the Anglo-Saxons bought from Romans:

strict (street) from Latin strata Ivia (paved road)

weal (wall) from Latin vallum

myln (mill) from Latin molinum

win (wine) from Latin vinum

ciese (cheese) from Latin caseus

buttere (butter) from Latin butyrum

disc (dish) from Latin discus

bete (beet) from Latin beta

pere (pear) from Latin pirum

plant (plant) from Latin planta

The Latin noun castra (camp) made part of a number of namesof

cities which were camps during the Roman conquest: Chester,Manchester,

Winchester. The Latin portus (port) has been preserved in thenames

Portsmouth, Bridport.

The Second Layer

The second layer consists of religious terms. When Christianitywas

introduced in England a certain number of Latin words wereborrowed from

Latin into English:

biscop (bishop) from Latin episcopus

cleric (churchman) from Latin clericus

apostol (apostle) from Latin appostolus

candel (candle) from Latin candela

scol (school) from Latin scola

mae3ister (master) from Latin magister

Celtic borrowings

Celtic borrowings are few in number. The following examplesmay

be given:

dun (down) hill, fortress

¥crad'i(cradle) cradle

Some Celtic elements have been preserved in geographicalnames:

dun, dum (hill) in Dumbarton, Dumfries

coil (forest) in Kilbrook, Killiemore.

G ram m atical Structure

The noun

The noun in OE has the morphological categories of case

(Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative), number (singular,plural), and

gender (masculine, feminine, neuter).

The declension of the Nouns

There are the following types of declension of the noun: nounswith

vocalic stems (o-stems, а-stems, i-stems, u-stems), and nounswith consonant

stems (-n-stems, -r-stems) and root stems declensions.

Vocalic stems

Nouns of -о -stems include masculine nouns and neuter nouns.The

declension of the neuter nouns differs from the masculine nounsin the

Nominative and Accusative plural. In the nominative case, pluralneuter

nouns with a short root syllable have the ending -u , nouns witha long

syllable (a long vowel + a consonant,ashort vowel+2 consonants)have a zero

ending.

Nouns belonging to root-stems never had any stem-forming

suffixes, and the case endingj were added on immediately to theroot. There

is mutation in the Dative case singular, the Nominative andaccusative cases

plural of these nouns.

mann (man)

Case masculine

Singular Plural

There are several types p f pronoun in Old English:personal,

possessive, demonstrative, interrogative, definite, indefinite,negative and

relative.

Personal PronounsThe pronouns of the first person have thecategories of case

(nominative, Genitive, Dative and Accusative) and number(singular, dual,

plural).

Personal pronouns of the third person have the categories ofcase,

number, (singular and plural) and gender (masculine, feminineand neuter).

The Indefinite Pronouns

The indefinite pronouns are sum (some) and aeni3 («n^)!

The negative pronoun

The negative pronouns are non and пгётз.

The adjectives in OE have the categories of gender(masculine,

feminine and neuter), number (singular and plural) and case(nominative,

genitive, dative, accusative and partly instrumental.

Every adjective can have two declensions (strong and weak).Weak

declension forms are used when the adjective is preceded by ademonstrative

pronoun. They are associated with the meaning ofdefiniteness.

Strong declension

In strong declension most adjectives are declined as о-stems forthe

masculine and neuter gender and а-stems for the femininegender.

Adjectives in OE had three degrees of comparison: positive,comparative and

superlative. They were formed by means of suffixes -ra,-ost.

Positive comparative superlative

3 laed 3 laedra glaedost

There is mutation in the adjectives which have an -i- precedingthe

-r- of the comparative degree and -ost of the superlativedegree.

eald (old) ieldra ieldest

Several adjectives have suppletive forms:

3od (good) betera betst

yfel (bad) wiersa wierest

micel (large) mara maest

lytel (little) laessa lsst

There were the following types of verbs in OE: strong verbs,weak

verbs, preterite-present verbs and suppletive verbs.

Strong verbs

Strong verbs have four forms. The 1st form - the infinitive andthe

present forms, the 2nd form - the past form singular. The 3dform - the past

form plural, the 4th form - participle II.

There are 7 classes of strong verbs, the first five classes(class I -

class Y) were characterized by the gradation of i and a soundswhich is

clearly seen in class 1, III. Class YI has the gradation of thesounds a-о, class

Yll is characterized by redoublication of forms. In OE we findonly remnants

of this redoublication.

Class I II III IY

1 class writan (write) wrat writon writen

2 class ceosan

(choose)

ceas curon coren

3 class sin3an (sing) san3 sun3on випзеп

4 class niman (take) nam.n^lH namon numen

5 class cwe6an (say) cwaed cwaedon cweden

6 class scacan

(shake)

scoc scocon scacen

7 class hatan (name) heht, het hehton, heton haten

There are 3 classes of wefck verbs in OE, these verbs have 3forms:

infinitive and present forms, the past form, participle II.

Class I verbs always have mutation of their root vowel due to anoriginal -i-

element in their suffix. There are two types of the verbs ofthis class: verbs

with a long root vowel and verbs with a short root vowel.

Verbs with the long root vowel always drop the -i- .

I 11 III

cepan (keep) cepte cept

Verbs of the 2d class originally had the suffix -oja- in theinfinitive and -o- in

the other forms. In OE -o- has been preserved in the past tenseand participle

II and has been changed into -a- in some forms of the presenttense. The

infinitive suffix -oja- has been reduced to -i-. The infinitiveof these verbs

enfrin -ian.

I II HI

macian macode macod

The weak verbs of the third class are not numerous in number.They are

characterized by the redoublication of the voiced consonant inthe 1 st form

and a voiced fricative in the 2nd and 3d forms. In some of theseverbs we

have mutation.

I II III

habban (have) hasfde haeft

libban (live) lifde lifd

Preterite- present verbs

Preterite-present verbs in OE as well as in other Germaniclanguages have

the following peculiarity: their present tense corresponds tothe past tense of

the strong verbs and their past tense is formed as the pasttense of the weak

verbs.

Infinitive Present

Suppletive verbs forme, their forms from different roots. Thereare

two suppletive verbs in OE: beon, wesan (be), зап (go).

Grammatical Categories

Verbs in OE have the grammatical categories of

number - singular and plural

person - the first, the second, the third

tense - present and past

mood - indicative and subjunctive

voice - in the system of the participle

The verb has 2 numbers singular and plural and three persons(the

first person, the second person, the third person). In pluralnumber the verb

has the same ending for all the persons: -af> in the PresentTense and -on in

the Past Tense.

The category of tense is presented by 2 tenses present and past.There is no

future tense in OE, the meaning of the future tense in OE wasexpressed by

the Present Tense. In the category of mood there are two moods -Indicative

and subjunctive. The subjunctive is often used in reportedspeech:

He sasde pact past land sie swide 1апз norp |юпап... - онсказал, что та земля

находится очень далеко на север оттуда

sie - the subjunctive mood of the verb beon, wesan, 3d person,singular', the

indicative mood of the verb beon, wesan in the 3d personsingular - is.

The category of voice is found only in the participle.

Он сказал своему господину...

Hit is eal weste...

Она вся пустынная...

Indirect word order is to be found in sentences beginning withadverbial

modifiers:

On feawum stowum wfcia5 Finnas...

pa for he norpryhte...

Тогда поехал он на север...

Negation was expressed by the negative word ne.

Ne can i niht wrftan.

Он не может ничего написать.
