HISTORY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE 3 The Battle for the Language of the Bible doc series

Duration: 51:06
Updated: 03 Mar 2014

The Adventure of English is a British television series (ITV) on the history of the English presented by Melvyn Bragg as well as a companion book, also written by Bragg. The series ran in 2003. The series and the book are cast as an adventure story, or the biography of English as if it were a living being, covering the history of the language from its modest beginnings around 500 AD as a minor Germanic dialect to its rise as a truly established global language. In the television series, Bragg explains the origins and spelling of many words based on the times in which they were introduced into the growing language that would eventually become modern English.

Between You and I the English Language is Going to the Dogs

Duration: 101:56
Updated: 14 Mar 2014

http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/between-you-and-i-the-english-language-is-going-to-the-dogs/ Filmed at the Royal Geographical Society on 5th March 2014. The English language is going to the dogs. "Between you and I" is just one of the howlers those of us with linguistic sensibilities have to endure. The distinctions between words such as 'infer' and 'imply', and 'uninterested' and 'disinterested' are disappearing. Americanisms such as 'gotten', 'different than' and 'can I get..?' abound. Every office resounds with horrible new jargon such as 'going forward', 'deliverables', 'touch base' and 'heads up'. Infinitives are split, participles dangle. Language is based on established practice and rules. When the rules are continually (and that isn't continuously) broken, the language suffers and those who care suffer too. That's the line taken by the so-called sticklers in this debate, but they are mistaken according to laissez faire linguists. English wasn't set in stone by 19th-century grammarians -- the kind who decreed it's wrong to split an infinitive in English just because you can't in Latin. Language changes but that doesn't mean it's in decline. Traditionalists may argue that digital technology has a pernicious effect on language, but in fact children who text a lot have higher rates of literacy. And it's hard to deny that Facebook, Twitter and email have enriched the expressiveness of our language: ten years ago who could have written "OMG he's RTd my selfie!!"

25 Things You Probably Never Knew About The English Language

Duration: 3:52
Updated: 27 Jun 2014

Do you know the oldest word in English? What about the shortest sentence? These are 25 things you probably never knew about the English language. https://twitter.com/list25 https://www.facebook.com/list25 http://list25.com Check out the text version too! - http://list25.com/25-things-you-probably-never-knew-about-the-english-language/ Here's a preview: In 1934 Websters accidentally added a made up word to the dictionary -- "dord". It wasn't caught until 5 years later Ernest Vincent Wright's book "Gadsby: A Lipogram Novel" is roughly 50,000 words long. None of them contain the letter "e". Dreamt is the only word in the English language that ends in "mt" While most people believe that no English word rhymes with "orange", that is not true. "Sporange" is a rare botanical term referring to part of a fern. The longest one syllable word is "scraunched" with 10 letters. It can be found in a 17th century translation of Don Quixote Words typically will be in use for anywhere between 1000 and 20,000 years. The oldest word in English is "who" which has been around for, you guessed it...20,000 years. The words "two", "three", and "I" are pretty old as well English contains the most words out of any language and the Oxford English Corpus contains a little over 2 billion words (yes...billion) It has been estimated that a new word is created every 98 minutes. This works out to about 4,000 words per year being added to official dictionaries The dot above the "i" and "j" is called a tittle The word "drunk" is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most synonyms at 2,964 The longest word in English with all its letters in alphabetical order is "aegilops". "Almost" is actually not far behind it. the, be, to, of, and, a, in ,that, have, and I make up 25% of the words you use "Angry" and "hungry" are the only two words in modern English that end with "-gry". The shortest complete sentence in the English language is "I am". The following sentence demonstrates all nine ways that "ough" can be pronounced: "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed." The longest English word without a true vowel is "rythm" The following sentence contains 7 identical words in a row and still makes sense: "It is true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to." The word alphabet comes from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha, beta A sentence that contains all 26 letters of the alphabet is called a "pangram".
