	Studying language typology by means of corpora
		Generative Grammar is interested in language competence in a fairly straightforward manner -- relying on introspection and speaker’s intuition, it is subjective and not empirical in the sense that it does not build itself on large amounts of heterogeneous data but rather on few languages or standard dialects.
		Language Typology is first and foremost interested in language performance, which is based on empirical description and comparison of a great number of languages.
		One of the assumptions in the universalist research is the belief that all the languages of the world, ancient or modern are intrinsically similar and exhibit similar complexity of system that, although different on the surface goes back to similar deep structure.

	English language History
		The new and the earlier settlers spoke languages from different branches of the Germanic family; many of their lexical roots were the same or similar, although their grammars were more distant, including the prefixes, suffixes and inflections of many of their words.
		The Germanic language of these Old English inhabitants of Britain was influenced by the contact with Norse invaders, which may have been responsible for some of the morphological simplification of Old English, including loss of grammatical gender and explicitly marked case (with the notable exception of the pronouns).
		The use of Anglo-Saxon to describe a merging of Anglian and Saxon languages and cultures is a relatively modern development.

	Bambooweb: Anglo-Saxon language
		It was a West Germanic language, and was therefore similar to Frisian and Old Saxon.
		During this period of time, it assimilated some aspects of the indigenous pre-Celtic languages, some of the Celtic languages which it came into contact with, and some of the two variants of the invading Scandinavian languages occupying and controlling the Danelaw.
		The language was further altered by the transition away from the runic alphabet (also known as futhorc) to the Latin alphabet, which was also a significant factor in the developmental pressures brought to bear on the language.

		The four major dialects recognized in Old English are Kentish, originally the dialect spoken by the Jutes; West Saxon, a branch of the dialect spoken by the Saxons; and Northumbrian (see Northumberland) and Mercian (see Mercia), subdivisions of the dialects spoken by the Angles.
		The conjugation of verbs was simplified by the reduction of endings and by the use of a common form for the singular and plural of the past tense of strong verbs.
		The influence of East Midland was strengthened by its use in the government offices of London, by its literary dissemination in the works of the 14th-century poets Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, and John Lydgate, and most significantly by its adoption for printed works by William Caxton.

	Old English language at AllExperts
		During this early period it assimilated some aspects of the languages with which it came in contact, such as the Celtic languages and the two dialects of Old Norse from the invading Vikings, who were occupying and controlling the Danelaw in northern and eastern England.
		Like other West Germanic languages of the period, Old English was fully inflected with five grammatical cases, which had dual plural forms for referring to groups of two objects, in addition to the usual singular and plural forms.
		The language was further altered by the transition away from the runic alphabet (also known as futhorc or fuÃ¾orc) to the Latin alphabet, which was also a significant factor in the developmental pressures brought to bear on the language.

		It is the most widely used "second" and "learning" language in the world, and as such, many linguists believe, it is no longer the exclusive cultural emblem of "native English speakers", but rather a language that is absorbing aspects of cultures worldwide as it grows in use.
		English is descended from the language spoken by the Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes (Vikings), that began populating the British Isles around 500 AD.
		The richness of the language is that such synonyms have slightly different meanings, enabling the language to be used in a very flexible way to express fine variations or shades of thought.
