Essay about the two texts: A Brief History and Language Families and Branches.

I am going to start this essay saying that I strongly believe that us, as English pedagogy students, MUST know, learn, understand, and acquire the second culture we are studying for a complete understanding of that society. This need to be obtain by the complete knowledge of that specific language, English in this case, and to do that we need to start studying it from it very beginning, as it is the origin of it language, their Historic facts, their evolution through different periods of history . The first text called A brief History shows us the different period England passed through the ages beginning with the Old English period (450-1100 AD), then the Middle English period (110- 1500 AD), and finally the Modern English period (1500 at the present). This text gives us detail information about all of this three important period of English history as they are the several invasions, the technical advances, so forth. The second text Language families and the invention of the printing press, the establishment of the English as a standardized language and

branches talks us about the wide variety of languages

that came from the same proto-language, the Proto-IndoEuropean, and the level of importance that some of them have in many countries acting as the Official or Co-official language in Academic, Technical world Organizations, as they are English, Spanish, German, French and Russian. This text also shows us how some languages, before important and well-known, are now extinct due to the recurrent mixture and borrowing from other languages, causing the extinction of it, as it happened with the languages of the Tokharian branch. Both of the two texts A Brief History and

Language Families and Branches helped me


to reach the objective of Characterize different

period

in

the

history

of

the

English

Language and now I feel able to explain it, in case if


necessary, without any doubt.
