Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik), course: History of English, language: English, abstract: The English language changed throughout its periods of existence. This development was, for example, influenced by other languages. The Latin language contains specific lexical and morphological features which the English language inherited. In order to understand which and why the features were taken from Latin and therefore influenced the English lexis and morphology, this paper will give a general overview about the development of the English language and the relationship to and influence of Latin. The morphological and lexical features of affixes will be examined in detail. The English language encountered other languages like Celtic or Scandinavian as well, but the strong relationship between Latin and English is undeniable, which marks the relevance for this paper. A reason English borrowed features of Latin, is the importance of the language in the past. Latin was a Lingua Franca, such as English is a Lingua Franca now. But Latin disappeared as a first language in the past. Nevertheless, several languages which are called “Latin variants” took over the language features of Latin. Such languages are Spanish, French, or Italian, which are Romance languages. These Latin stemmed languages came in contact with English and therefore influenced its development. The most prominent language contact in the Latin stemmed field of languages is French.

Book excerpt: Examination Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: Distinction: 9.5/10, University of Jaén, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the enormous productivity of Latin in the English language throughout time. Influences, however, will be remarked on the lexical and morphological fields. Therefore, due to length restrictions, other aspects such as phonology will be overlooked. Firstly, the general linguistic, historical and social contextualization of Latin will be described. In other words, it will be analyzed how Latin came into contact with English. Afterwards, different periods of influence will be covered, as well as the morphological heritage that the English language took from Latin, ranging from derivation (for example prefixation and suffixation) to inflectional and compound processes. In all cases, the most illustrative examples will be offered. Finally, the etymological explanation will help to establish certain parallelisms between Latin and English. Thereby, it will be essential to state the idea, that English and Latin share numerous similar features, is still present, despite belonging to different language families, as well as their own peculiarities, which is to say, those properties that make both languages different in comparison to other ones.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Etymological Manual of the English Language: Comprising the Prefixes, Affixes and Principal Latin, Greek, and Saxon Roots of the English Language In an Etymological Manual lately published, we introduced the French language, as a knowledge of it is essential to an accurate acquaintance with the English. In the present Manual, however, we have omitted the French, as there are many who do not study it, and on that account would prefer the work in its present form. In other respects, the two works are alike., The mode, therefore, of using both will be the same, and is here stated, in what follows, as itiscontained in the preface to the other. The best manner, which experience has shown, of using the Manual is, after the pupil has committed to memory afew of the Latin prefixes with their meanings, and the various forms they assume, for the teacher to examine him, either by giving the meaning and requiring the prefix, or by giving the prefix and requiring the meaning, or both. Aftermiich, the teacher will require the pupil to adduce the examples laid down in the book, or others, sufficient to show that he knows both the prefix and its import, when he sees it in composition. The prefixes and a ixes having been thoroughly acquired, the pupil may proceed to the Latin roots, following the same mode with them as with the prefixes; and from one part to another, till he has gone over the whole. The method may be better understood, perhaps, by an example. Take the word occurrence. The teacher may ask such question as the fol lowing: Of what parts is occurrence composed? (ac, iv rnxncx.
