Introduction
A foreign language is not just a
subject learnt in the classroom…
it is something which is used for
communication by real people
in real situations.
We live in Belarus and our native language is Belarusian. Almost all the words are native in our language. But some of them are borrowed from other languages, though they got their meanings, spelling, according to the Belarusian language. I have been learning English since the first form, so English is the third language in which I can communicate a little. Since the sixth form I began to study German, comparing pronunciations of the words, grammar rules, spelling it became easier for me to learn these languages. And I am sure that it is easier to learn several languages comparing them.
Last year I took part in the research work and I got a deeper knowledge of borrowings in English language. And this year I decided to deepen my knowledge in this theme too. So today we would like to present you more information about borrowings in English language. This theme sounds interesting for us and we guess you will be interested in it too.
An international vocabulary in any language changes due to the development of economy, science, education etc. Everything depends on time. The same is in English.
The purpose of our research work is to study French borrowings in the modern English language.
The purpose has defined the following tasks:
try to highlight the oldest words borrowed from French;
compare unique domination of widespread languages in a certain epoch;
show that English is now the most widespread of the word's languages;
discern the influence of the French language in the early modern period;
compare the sound of "Norman English" of the middle ages and the modern variant.
