Abstract
This thesis investigates the historical development and modern transformations
of the English language, exploring how it has evolved from its early forms to its
contemporary usage. By examining the major phases of English language development, including Old English, Middle English, and Early Modern English, as well as recent linguistic
changes, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the processes driving
language change and the factors influencing its evolution
