In another TED Talks video, Anne Curzan explores this transformation of the English language, starting from the foundation—a simple word. She explains that the people who write dictionaries have a difficult time discerning when a new word transcends from slang to become a “real” word, an actual part of language; the same notion applies twofold to language dialects and styles.
Slang remains a bright part of language in any era, including the
Anglo-Saxon period, from 5th century to 1066, became the “ancestor” of our modern literature. There is a big difference from then and now including our language and culture. First is the difference between their language and the language now which is modern English. Anglo-Saxon language is the oldest known form of English language and is also called as Old English.

English III contained better transition words than my first paper did. I used more mature words that did not repeat and that overall made my paper better. Specifically, in the second paragraph of my paper “The Sumatran Elephant” I used the word consequently to transition from one paragraph to another very smoothly, which made a huge difference in how my paper sounded (Sumatran Elephant). Another place that I used new transitions to make my paper more effective is in the third paragraph of “The Sumatran Elephant”. I used the word ‘another’ to connect the idea of ways to save the Sumatran elephants in the sentences before it (Sumatran Elephant).
People will be unable to translate Oldspeak causing "the last link with the past" (Orwell 311) to be erased. Newspapers, books, or journals containing Oldspeak will not be understandable, making each material useless. For example, the Declaration of Independence will be impossible to translate into Newspeak while maintaining its original meaning of equality. The passage will merely be translated into a single word, crimethink. Words contained in Oldspeak like “honor, justice, morality, internationalism, democracy, science and religion” (page 305) that express significant concepts will be nonexistent.
Therefore, we can deduce that the first language that was tried to speak in America was not English, but Spanish.

This was the process which led to literary language slowly rising towards standardization. 3.3 Standardization of the English Language William Shakespeare’s writings are a part of one of the factors that led to the standardization of English, because as soon as they became popular, his words and phrases were put into full action and from this, the grammar and rules of English slowly started being established. Moreover, his writings represent the rules that are currently being used in the English language, for example, he reinitiated the use of suffixes in grammar. Although he has been dead for a very long time and English has been more modernised since then, Shakespeare’s grammar still remains the same.
The Modern English language has a rich history, it develops and changes like many other world languages. The English language has mainly been influenced by Latin, Germanic and French over a period of two thousand years. The English Lexicon includes words from over 120 countries, however Latin, Germanic and Latin account approximately less than 30% each.
