Debate: 400 years of language
Speech bubbles
Talking about words
Inspired by Word4Word, our community discussed language in the forums. Join in with some points for debate.
Forum member Rob Owen had some questions about how language changes
Starting with the 16th century, can anyone describe the main features (lexis, semantics, grammar, phonology, graphology/orthography, discourse)of English through to the 20th century?
What was notable about English in the 17th century? ...In the 18th century, and so on?
Is there a book which shows the features of English in these different centuries? Any answers or recommendations?
