㈠ 英语在其发展当中经历了何种演变

英语,作为当今世界历史上的国际社交语言,它取得的成功是史无前例的。从使用它的人口来说,以英语为母语的人数仅次于汉语而居世界第二位,大约有四亿多人。然而以英语作为第二语言、或者在一定程度上使用英语的人数,要远比这多得多,可以说分布在世界的各个角落、各个民族,在这一点上汉语是望尘莫及的。它是怎样发展起来的呢?
英伦三岛的第一批印欧居民是塞尔特人。原先岛上可能还有更早的居民,但是人烟稀少,所以没有留下多少遗迹。塞尔特人是古印欧人的一支,大约在四千五百年前离开他们在东欧的故乡向西迁移,在公元前一千年时(相当于我国商朝末年、西周初年),他们成了德国南部、阿尔卑斯山北麓的一个强大民族。在公元前五百年左右(相当于我国春秋时期),他们开始向西迁移,后来到了英伦诸岛。这就是印欧人的第一次“入侵”。
印欧人的第二次入侵是在公元五世纪中叶,当时生活在现在的德国和丹麦交界处有两个部落,一个是石勒苏益格(Schleswig)的盎格鲁(Angles),另一个是霍尔施坦因(Holstein)的萨克森(Saxon)。石勒苏益格/霍尔施坦因现在是德国最北面的两个州,是第一次世界大战时德国从丹麦那里“取得”的。这两个部落从那里跨过北海,占据了英格兰,原来的塞尔特人很快地后退到威尔士、爱尔兰和苏格兰高地。English一词就出自Angles,原意为“角落”,意即他们来自欧洲大陆的一角。在古英语中Angle写作Engle,他们的语言叫做Englisc(在古英语中“sc”读如“sh”,如“sceap”—— “sheep”)。顺便说一句,“塞尔特”(Celt)中的c可以读如s或k,所以也叫“凯尔特”,美国人中有许多来自苏格兰和爱尔兰,所谓的“美国腔” 可能是凯尔特口音。波士顿不是有个著名的球队叫“凯尔特人队”嘛。
盎格鲁、撒克逊、朱特这三个族群。他们的方言发展成古英语。现今一些常用的字汇是从这些Anglo-Saxon的字汇而来,然而英语也受其他语言的影响。
在日耳曼族尚未入侵不列巅时,岛上住的有凯尔特人。在公元前55年的夏天,古罗马凯撒大帝征服了高卢地区的凯尔特人。为了避免不列巅的凯尔特人报复,凯撒想要一举攻下不列巅,然而并未成功。隔年夏天,又再一次入侵不列巅,在不列巅东南角建立了一个据点。至此大约一百年,罗马人未再侵犯不列巅。
在公元43年,革老丢想要得到整个不列巅群岛的统治权,便派了四万人的军队,费时三年,征服了英格兰。此时大约统治了三百年。
410年,罗马帝国受外族入侵,无力维持其他领地的势力,于是撤退,凯尔特人得不到罗马人的保护,受北方蛮族Picts&Scots骚扰,于是凯尔特领袖便请求朱特族人的保护,并割一块在Kents东北角的isle of Thanet给朱特族。朱特族知道了凯尔特人很好欺负,反而侵略凯尔特人,占领Kents的东南角。其他的日耳曼族群也跟著入侵英格兰,持续一百年。
古英语一直发展到公元1066年法国的诺曼人入侵。在此以前,由于受北欧人和罗马人的影响,许多斯堪地那维亚词汇和拉丁词汇溶了进来。前者如egg,cake,skin,leg,window,husband,sky,fellow,skill,anger,flat,ugly,odd,get,give,take,raise,call,die,they,their,them;后者如street,kitchen,kettle,cup,cheese,wine。塞尔特语的遗迹大多留在地名中,如Thames,Kent,Dover。
基督教将拉丁文与希腊文的字汇带入英语。
古英语又受到了说Old Norse的斯堪地那维亚入侵者影响。古英语内部的发展朝著简化词形变化的方向在走,而Old Norse更加速了这个过程,特别是北方的方言。
在诺曼征服后,可以算是古英语时期的结束。这个影响是前所未有的,开启英语的另一个时代。
诺曼征服对英语有显著的冲击,改变了英语单字的拼法,更引入了许多新的诺曼字汇。若没有诺曼征服,英语将会有更多的词形变化、更多的日耳曼字汇、更多的复合字、较少从其他语言吸收的字汇、不会有法文字汇。
在1066年,诺曼底公爵征服者威廉与Harold抢夺英国国王的王位,征服者威廉在黑斯廷斯战役赢了,成为英国国王。将法国品味带入英国皇室,英国皇室的成员也越来越多的法国人,都不会讲英文,而只会法文。此时,在统治阶级所使用的语言是法文,而一般平民使用的是英文。然而,一般百姓要取得更佳的工作机会的话,就必须会法文。要区别说英文与说法文的人,并不是用族群来区分,而是社会地位。
英语一直是一般大众所使用的语言,但一开始受诺曼统治时,在法庭及皇室中并不使用英语。在《盎格鲁撒克逊编年史》中可见,在公元1154年前,大多数的文学作品是使用法文或拉丁文。
在1204年,英王失去了诺曼底的统治权,英国皇室的成员必须在英国与法国之间选边站,再加上英国讲的法文是Anglo-French以及百年战争的影响,英国人越来越不喜欢讲法文。
在此时,英文的文法与单字都有变化。英文文法从综合语逐渐变为分析语,而单字则增加了许多法文及拉丁文的单字。文法方面,由于发音的改变以及词形变化的类比,导致无法用词形变化来判断字的关系,因而只能用字的顺序来表示文法关系。在文法方面,虽说统治阶级讲的是法文,但法文并未影响到英文的文法。此阶段法文的影响只是因为统治阶级讲的是法文,对英文漠不关心,使英文文法的改变不致有太大的阻力。单字方面,在1250年前,法文带来的是贵族与宗教的单字。1250年后,由于英国皇室对英文的认同提高,带来了日常生活的单字。拉丁文则是随著法文单字,也带到英文中。
诺曼人的入侵为英语带来了大量的法语词汇,这使得现代英语中存现大量的同义/近义词:shut/close,answer/reply,smell/odor,yearly/annual,ask/demand,room/chamber,wish/desire,might/power(英语词/法语词)。有一个有趣的现象是产肉的动物多是英语词,如ox,cow,calf,sheep,swine,deer,而它们的肉则是法语词,如beef,veal,mutton,pork,bacon,venison。大概持法语的多为贵族统治者,只注意他们餐桌上的肉,并不在意牲畜们叫什么。
另外在已有的英语/斯堪地那维亚语同义词基础上,如英语的wrath和斯堪地那维亚语的anger之外,法语又加了个ire。连我们汉语也贡献了几个词:kowtow(叩头),typhoon(台风),sampan(舢板),kaolin(高岭土),tea(闽方言),shanghai(不是地名:-)。
在文艺复兴时期,英语进化成中古英语,中古英语对于近代英语的使用者来说要理解是有点难度。在十五世纪,由于元音大改变,英语更进一步进化成所谓的近代英语。
英语一直在吸收外来字汇,直至现今亦是如此,特别是拉丁语、希腊语。由于如此,现今英语可以说是世界上最多字汇的语言。由于许多单字是来自不同的语言,所以读音错误的情形十分的高。
在1755年山缪尔.约翰逊出版了第一部重要的英语字典。
这些外来语使英语成为一个表达力丰富的语言。尽管溶入了如此众多的“外来语”,古英语仍然构成了它的核心——不到五千的古英语单词一直保持到了今天。在此期间英语逐渐向高层发展,1399年继承王位的亨利四世是第一个以英语为母语的英国国王。在十四世纪快要结束的时候,乔叟(Chaucer)完成了『坎特伯雷的传说』(CanterburyTales),以伦敦方言为代表的英语终于开始出现:一个来自当年“角落”的语言。

The Charm of Chinese Language
Chinese Language faces some challenges. As compared with English and other Latin based languages, Chinese is less popular and more difficuh for computer word processing. Some college students, wondering whether it is still one of the best languages in the world, neglect Chinese study.
Extensive research has revealed that Chinese possesses many advantages over other languages. Written Chinese is based on a set of ideogram characters. From a simple word one may obtain a wealth of information about its hidden meaning, evolution history and related phrases. Historians can decipher the damaged ancient characters carved on ox hones but no such achievement could be obtained with Latin-based languages. To express a given idea, the Chinese version is always the shortest, most accurate and most effective.
Moreover, Chinese kids learn Chinese by memorizing patterns or funny pictures which stimulate curiosity and imagination. It is well recognized that human brains work well with patterns and pattern recognition in turn promotes brain development. What' more, Chinese is also easy to learn. Many foreigners speak Chinese fluently after a few years of learning. Recently, several word processing programs have been successfully developed for Chinese language and turned out to be better than those designed for English.
Chinese is the crystallization of the splendid culture developed continuously for over 5,000 years. Many treasures remain to be explored. As China grows stronger, more and more foreigners will learn Chinese and share the invaluable treasure.

About A.D. 449, living in Denmark and northern Germany three Germanic tribes before the invasion of the fall of the Roman empire to the island of Great Britain. They are respectively anglos (Angles, into the central Jutland peninsula), Saxon people (Saxons, into the south Jutland peninsula) and Jutes (Jutes, invasion of northern Jutland peninsula). In language, they replaced the Celtic was use. The three Germanic tribes dialect with the social development, graally merged into a new language, namely a Anglo Saxon (Anglo - Saxon), which is then form the basis for English.
