The history of the English Language

This article written by Risa talks about the cultural composition of the English Language and all the accent variations and mixtures suffered trough time. Contrasting with the last article I read, I can remark a big difference. In this article, the authr is more specific at the time of developing her facts.
The very origin of English starts at the fifth century, when England was populated by the Angles and the Saxons. They spoke englisc (from the anglish people). As the roman influence was present in almost all Europe, the Celtic tribes that also lived in England suffered a little variation in their languages that were mixed with some of the Latinvocabulary. It was until the tenth century when English was commonly spoken in the whole island. It is really impressive to see how many cultures were mixed up and resulted in the English language that we speak today (with its ownmodern variations). At least there were 5 different languages that conformed the English vocabulary.
This article is made to understand and to analize the exact origin of the English language. That's why the autor specifies a lot in the history of the language.
Also, the autor mentions that the english is a stress language. The different modifications to the language has result in a variation of the accent used to speak it. Maybe it is difficult to people that does not speak English as a mother language to understand this because we are not so familiarized with the changes in the pronunsiation. This is the result of passing the language from generation to generation, it becomes a common vocabulary and we don't even notice all the changes suffered since the first language.

This article is not mainly written to all population. The autor gives a lots of historical details and some of linguistical .It could require some of the English language domination to fully understand it. Nevertheless, this article can be used as an excellent source for an investigation or research.

The tone used by Risa is very academic. She employs this tone because she is just giving us information to analize, she is not taking any position or arguing any topic. This gives the article a very proffesional and formal composition.

Now that I have read two articles of the history of the English language, I can see that the language itself was the result of a large mixture of vocabularies and cultures since the ancient times. Nowadays English is still evolving, variating from regions, countries and continents.
