English is one of the languages in the West Germanic branch. Its vocabulary is primarily influenced by other Germanic and Romance languages, and particularly by the French language.
English has been developing for more than 1400 years. Old English was divided into four dialects: the Anglian dialects, Mercian and Northumbrian, and the Saxon dialects, Kentish and West Saxon . The earliest forms of English are called Old English, which was brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century. After romans withdrawing from Britain, the Germanic language of the Anglo-Saxons became dominant in Britain, replacing the languages of Roman Britain.By the sixth century, a Latin alphabet was adopted, written with half-uncial letterforms. Old English is very different
from Modern English and difficult for 21st-century English speakers to understand.
Middle English began with the conquest of England by the Norman in 1066 and developed further in the period from 1200 to 1450,and was a period in which the language was influenced by French.In the period from the 8th to the 12th century, Old English gradually transformed through language contact into Middle English. During the Middle English period many Old English grammatical features were simplified or disappeared. Middle English developed out of Late Old English, seeing many dramatic changes in its grammar, pronunciation and orthography. In the 14th century, English became dominant in Britain again. By the end of the 14th century, the dialect of London had emerged as the emerged
as the standard dialect of what we now call Middle English. By the 12th century Middle English was fully developed, integrating both Norse and Norman features; it continued to be spoken until the transition to early Modern English around 1500.
The next period in the history of English was Early Modern English. English began to rise in prestige during the reign of Henry V. Early Modern English began in the late 15th century with the introduction of the printing press to London and the King James Bible, and the start of the Great Vowel Shift. All these factors had a major impact on the English language, especially on its vocabulary. The major source language was Latin, but loans from other languages, in particular French were also frequent. Literature from the Early Modern period included the works of William Shakespeare and King Fames
Bible influenced on the development of the English language during the last decades of the Renaissance.By 1750 most of the Old English irregular verbs had either dropped out of use or become regular. In this period, adjectives lost all endings except for in the comparative and superlative forms. And there were also a great many semantic changes, as old words acquired new meanings.
By the late 18th century, the British Empire had facilitated the spread of English through its colonies and geopolitical dominance.Settlers from Britain moved across the world from Britain moved across the world, the Modern English changed and developed, and took in words from other local languages. With the
increase in the communication, travel, radio and television, all these different types of English have mixed. So English continues to change and develop, with hundreds of new words appearing every year. A major feature in the early development of Modern English was the codification of explicit norms for standard usage, and their dissemination through official media such as public education and state sponsored publications.As the USA emerged as one of the economic powers of the 20th century, American English has become a dominant variety of the language. In terms of grammatical evolution, Modern English has now reached a stage where the loss of case is almost complete.。

英语的发展史(中英文版)
一种民族语言（包括词汇）的发展与民族的历史密切可关。
要了解英语语汇的发展史，不可避免地跟整个英语的发展史，乃至英国的历史密不可分。
不列颠群岛的最早居民是凯尔特人，又称不列颠人。
公元前55年，罗马人在凯萨大帝的率领下侵入不列颠群岛，凯尔特人被罗马人赶入威尔士和苏格兰的深山之中。
直到公元410年，罗马占领时期才告结束。
随后，来自德国北部平原的三个日耳曼部落盎格鲁人，撒克森人和朱特人开始来到不列颠定居。
英语就是盎格鲁—撒克森人的语言。
语言史学家一般把英语的历史分为三个时期：1、古英语时期，2、中古英语时期，3、现代英语时期。
1、古英语时期（又称盎格鲁-萨克森时期公元450—1100年）日尔曼部落在不列颠定居后，名自占领一些地区。
盎格鲁人占领了泰晤士河以北的英格兰的大部分地区和苏格兰的低地，朱特人占领了肯特郡一带地区，撒克森人占领了泰晤士河以南的大部分地区。
各个部落建立了一些小王国，出现了英国历史上的七国时代。
直到公元830年，阿尔弗雷德大王才统一了整个英格兰地区。
由于全国长期没有统一，所以古英语时期存在着多种方言，主要方言有四种：西萨克森语，肯特语，莫西亚语和北恩布里亚语。
这四种方言都曾一度占主导地位。
西撒克森语保存下来的手搞最多。
其它方言在形成英语的过程中也起过很重要的作用。
古英语的词汇有着浓厚的日尔曼语族的特点。
这主要表现为复合法是重要的构词方法。
复合词在古英语词汇中占有显著的地位。
据统计，在史诗《贝奥武夫》3183行诗句中，竟有1069个复合词。
有些复合词中不重读部分，渐渐失去了独立地位，而演变成了词缀，如for-, in-, -ful 等派生法在古英语中也广泛使用。
共有二十四个名词后缀、十五个形容词后缀，-dom, -hood, -ship, -ness, -the, -ful,- ish 等词缀都可溯源到古英语时期。
古英语时期的诗歌有一种特殊的修辞手法，即头韵(alliteration)，由此产生的许多短语一直保留到现在，如night and main, friend or foe, a labour of love。
200个英语单词的起源
200个英语单词的起源1、Chemistry 化学古代的炼金术士们总想找到一种方法，将低贱的金属变为金子。
现在通过原子裂变的原理表明，他们的这种想法并非一般人们想象的那么愚蠢。
古埃及人入侵欧洲后，将他们所研究的炼金术，连同其命名al-kimia一起传入欧洲。
后来，这个词变成alchemy，“炼金的人”叫做alchemist，最后成了chemistry。
“化学”的概念就是从“炼金术”演变来的。
2、Geology 地质学“地质学”是研究形成地球的物质和地壳构造，以探讨地球的形成和发展的科学。
Geology是从希腊语来的，ge即“earth”；-ology，“science”，即研究地球本身的科学。
3、Law 法律“法律”是立法机关制定的、国家政权保证执行的行为规则。
Law在古英语中写作lagu，意即“something laid down（规定下来的事情）”。
4、Electricity 电古希腊人常用琥珀制作爱情护符，确信戴着这种护符的人可以引来爱人。
他们发现，磨擦琥珀可以吸引羽毛、线头等小东西，磨擦时会放出火花。
他们就把这种磨擦起电的现象叫做elektron。
来自希腊语elektor，意即“发光的太阳”，进入拉丁语后写作electrum。
英语演变为electricity。
5、Atom 原子古希腊人认为，特质是不可能无限止地分割下去的，越分越小，最后小到不可再分。
他们把“原子”叫做atomos：a即“not”；tomos ，“cut”意即“不能再分割”以后这个词在英语中演变为atom。
尽管后来发现“原子”并非“不可再分割”，然而约定俗成，“原子”的名字仍然以atom流传下来。
6、Uranium 铀“铀”是一种放射性金属元素，化学符号为U，主要用来产生原子能。
著名的物理学家居里夫人曾用铀作实验，发现了放射现象。
Uranium这个词是从希腊神话中一位神的名字来的。
1781年，英籍德国天文学家赫瑟尔（Sir William Herschel）发现了颗尚未被人们发现的行星，于是他就借用了希腊神话中“天王”Ouranos的名字，命名这颗行星为Uranus。
