    Notes
    • Old English usually refers to the period in the history of the
    English language covering the years from 449 (or 450) to 1100
    (or 1150). Around the year 450, England was invaded by the
    Germanic tribes (the Angels, the Saxons, and the Jutes). These
    Germanic tribes are regarded as “the founders of The English
    nation” [Albert C. Baugh and Thomas Cable, A History of the
    English Language (London: Routledge, 2002)]. The account of
    these invasions is found in the Benedictine monk Bede’s work
    Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which was
    completed in 731 (Baugh and Cable 2002). The earliest records of
    the language date back to about 700.
    • Middle English covers the period from 1100 (or
    1150) to 1500. William of Normandy, a French
    territory, conquered England in 1066. The French
    rule brought change to the English language. The
    Anglo-Saxons chronicle existed until 1154. By that
    time, the English language had taken on new
    futures different from the ones of Old English.
    • Modern English covers the period 1500 to the
    present in the history of the English language. The
    introduction of the movable printing process into
    England by William Caxton in 1476 made possible
    the production of uniform copies of big numbers
    of books. The increase in the number of schools, in
    literacy production, and in travel and explorations
    brought change to the language from the time of
    the Renaissance in the 1500s.
    • The Anglo-Saxon is the term that came about
    with reference to the Teutonic tribes that invaded
    England. The term is often used to refer to “the
    earliest period of English” (Baugh and Cable
    2002).
    •Indo-European language is the family of
    languages to which English belongs.
    •The Celts were “the original inhabitants of
    the British Isles before the arrival of the
    Romans” [Phillip, The Story of English
    (London: Quercus, 2009)].
    •Dialect is a variation of a language.
    •Case is the choice of form depending on the
    function of words (nouns, pronouns,
    adjectives) in the sentences in an inflected
    language.
    • Standardization suggests an “ideal” norm or
    model of usage.
    •Mutually intelligible language indicated that
    the language are distinct from each other
    and are not dialects of the same language.
    1. Look up the origin of the following words used by Filipinos;
    and
    2. Explain briefly how these words became part of the local
    language(s) in the Philippines.
