HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

2 000 years ago the British Isles were inhabited by speakers of Celtic languages. These languages still survive in parts of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany in France. The Celts were conquered by the Romans, and from 43 BC to about AD 410 the areas which are now England and Wales were

part of the Roman Empire, and Latin was the language of government. Between the fourth and seventh centuries AD the Anglo-Saxons arrived from what is now northern Germany, Holland and Denmark, and occupied most of England. The Anglo-Saxons spoke a Germanic language which forms the basis of modern English. This language was modified by the arrival of Viking invaders in the north and east of the country, who came from Norway and Denmark between the eighth and eleventh centuries. These Scandinavian settlers spoke Old Norse, which is the parent language of the modern Danish. The mixing of the two languages greatly enriched the vocabulary of English. By the middle of the tenth century England had become a unified country under one king.

In 1066 England was conquered by the French-speaking Normans, and French became the language of government. For the next three hundred years three languages co-existed. The aristocracy spoke French, the ordinary people spoke English, while Latin was used in the church. Today English vocabulary is approximately half Germanic (from the Saxons and Vikings) and half Romance (from French and Latin). There are however considerable borrowings from other languages.

Do you want to kiss an old ashtray

A beautiful girl looks across the dinner table at an attractive young man. He is walking over to her. She is pleased. She pauses while he comes near her. Then, suddenly, when he is near, she turns round and walks quickly away. "Ugh", she says, "he smells like an old ashtray." It is an anti-smoking advertisement in British cinemas.

In 1971 the British Government made a law about smoking. Every packet of cigarettes must have a health warning on it. Television and radio stations cannot advertise cigarettes. Almost half the trains in Britain are "No smoking". You may not smoke in British theatres.

But people still smoke where and when they can though they know that nicotine in tobacco is bad for them. Habits of younger people are not too fixed, that is why the Government films are for young people. The new advertisements in cinemas show attractive young men and women who smoke. Other young people look at them and say: "Yes, they are attractive, but ugh! Their hair and clothes smell of tobacco; their teeth and fingers are all yellow". "Do you want to kiss an old ashtray?"

Teenagers often have their first cigarette because they think they look older and more attractive if they smoke. Perhaps they won't continue if they think it unattractive.
