我的疑问:

知识链接：英语语言的发展经历了三个阶段：

古英语时期（450-1150）：始于1500多年前北欧。在公元5世纪由3个日耳曼部落--盎格

鲁、撒克逊、裘特人带过来。盎格鲁人原语言是"Englisc"（"English"之来源）。在此时期，

古英语朝简化词形变化发展，语法某些方面与现代英语语法不同。

近代英语时期（1150-1500）：1066年，诺曼人征服英国，对英语有显著冲击，改变了单词拼法，更引入许多新的诺曼词汇。在此时期，英语文法与单词都有变化。

现代英语时期（1500-）：在此时期，来自拉丁语和希腊语的词汇被归入英语。在19世纪和

20世纪，英语词汇迅速增长。在独立后的美国，英语逐渐演变成具有自己特征的，反映美

国生活和社会的语言，即美语。英语在大西洋两岸逐渐分化，形成当今英语语言两大主流-

英国英语和美国英语。
