Diferencia entre revisiones de «Inglés/Anexo/Breve historia del inglés»

The English language has continued to grow by taking words from other languages whenever they seem suitable, and regularly inventing new words. There is no official body that attempts to restrict the growth of the language and, consequently, the English spoken today has an enormous number of distinct words. Besides this, the language has developed slightly differently in each of those countries where it is the majority or official language. There exist words that are familiar to an Australian English speaker that cannot be understood by an American citizen and so on. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity to the English language student. In truth, the differences in the English used around the world are very small and the similarities are enormous - a woman from Ireland will have no trouble understanding a man from the deep south of the United States. The beauty of the large vocabulary is that one can almost always make himself understood.
