	Early Modern English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early Modern English refers to the stage of the English language used from about the end of the Middle English period (the later half of the 1400s) to 1650.
		The standardization of English spelling falls within the Early Modern English period, and is influenced by conventions predating the Great Vowel Shift, explaining the archaic non-phonetic spelling of contemporary Modern English.
		English was used in church services, making the general population more familiar with a standard version of the language, rather than the liturgy being in Latin, which was totally incomprehensible to most people.

	Early English Period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In architecture, the Early English Period is a historical division of English Gothic architecture.
		It is customary, therefore, to recognise a transitional phase between the Romanesque and Early English periods from the middle of the 12th century.
		Characteristic of Early Gothic in England is the great depth given to the hollows of the mouldings with alternating fillets and rolls, by the decoration of the hollows with the dog-tooth ornament and by the circular abaci of the capitals.

	The Early English Theaters
		In early English theaters there was a total absence of painted or movable scenery, and the parts for women were performed by men or boys, actresses being as yet unknown.
		A few screens of cloth or tapestry gave the actors the opportunity of making their exits and entrances; a placard, bearing the name of Rome, Athens, London, or Florence, as the case might be, indicated to the audience the scene of the action.
		The performance began early in the afternoon, and was announced by flourishes of a trumpet.

	Early English (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		It is in the Early English period (1200-1275) that the Gothic style became truly adapted by English craftsmen \ architects.
		This period is also called "Lancet" referring to the pointed lancet windows (narrow, untraceried) that characterize it.Form is still austere and proportion is magnificently simple.During the Early English period, the heavy rounded arches gave way to lighter, pointed arches in nave arcades, windows and doorways.
		Important examples of Early English architecture are to be found at York (transepts), Lincoln (nave, choir, chapter house), Rochester (choir and transepts), Wells (nave and west front), Worcester (choir), Bristol (Elder Lady Chapel), Durham (Chapel of the Nine Altars), Southwark (choir, retrochoir), Westminster Abbey and most of Lichfield.

	Early English Currency
		Here is the currency in table form with some nicknames and three additional coins minted prior to the nineteenth century but now no longer produced.
		Fifty is "l." One hundred is "c." One thousand is "m." To the best of my knowledge, the Romans did not reckon in millions, and they certainly did not have the political audacity to run national budget deficits in the trillions.
		Dates on early printers' title pages (until the C19) typically were written in capital Roman numerals.

	The Early Modern English Dictionaries Database (EMEDD)
		Instead, until the late 17th century, English dictionaries were normally "bilingual," either in mapping a non-English language to English (that is, translation) or in mapping hard, often Latinate English, so-called "ink-horn" terms, to easier common English (a function of synonyms).
		Richard Bailey also sees lexical indeterminacy as a general linguistic phenomenon, not limited to the early period: "Rigid sense divisions typical of dictionaries fail to capture the synchronic fact of variation that is present in every living language community" (1980: 212).
		Early dictionaries display a sensitivity to the imprecision of words that many of our lexicons today try to expunge from the language.

	Early Modern English (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Speed and efficiency in pronunciation brought an end to Middle English pronunciation of the final "e" and shifted vowels to nearly their modern positions in the mouth (AKA "the Great Vowel Shift").
		However, printers and grammar teachers had not yet succeeded in inventing the "rules" for English spelling, punctuation, usage, and grammar, and the oral/aural language was still changing rapidly.
		Some linguistic historians postpone the end of Early Modern English until 1700 or even later, when printing conventions and public education had time to establish a loose general consensus about rules for spelling, punctuating, and rhetorically organizing English prose.

	Early English Bibles
		The English has some archaic usages, as for example the word "sometime" used in the sense formerly, the word "and" used in the sense also, the word "bearing" in the sense holding up, the word "virtue" in the sense power; and we see also an archaic compound word, "righthalf," meaning right side.
		At this time in the history of the English language most educated men wrote in such a style if they wrote in English at all, but usually they wrote their books in Latin.
		In 1560 a new translation of the Bible was published by English Puritans who had fled to Geneva under persecution during the reign of Mary, the Roman Catholic daughter of Henry VIII.
