The Ages of English

Related to The Ages of English, it is interesting to realise how the process of social people interactions exerts such inmense influence in the way a language can be developed and changed beyond the times.
According to this part of the course, I can confirm that historical events have a meaningful place into the use of language. In this case the evidence is in the Vikings Raids and how the fact of being a 'nomade tribe' affects the language people used to speak, in this case their influence on Old English.
On the other hand, the way that tribes behave means something interesting to be considered. The Vikings were violent and wherever they arrived they left significant marks, because they used to storm and assault the places they invaded.
To sum up, I think that the power of a tribe is going to state the influence they can have in a society. In this case, we can see that Vikings are the powerful ones in terms of their behaviour and how this can make the difference across language.
