Аннотация

Coherent accounts of the state of the language in earlier historical periods, however desirable for a variety of reasons, especially for a fuller picture of the whole system of the language at a particular developmental stage, of its various sub-systems and of the interrelations between them, would not only have been impossible for reasons of space and other objective reasons but would also have gone far beyond the main purpose of this volume. The method chosen seems to be a perfectly legitimate procedure if one's main concern is the historical foundations of present-day English rather than the 'grammatical systems' of Old English, Middle English or Early Modern English respectively. It is hoped that this procedure, although requiring additional effort on the part of the student and the careful use of the glossary, will contribute to a deeper understanding of the matter under discussion.
