Oral traditions to written expressions: The evolution of English literature before the anglo-saxon invasion
Authors
R Dewangan
Abstract

Since ancient times, the English language has been open to incorporating new words and expressions, and this process is now ongoing. Perhaps as a result of its adaptability to these lexical invasions, English has adopted the moniker "Lingua Franca." Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the numerous thinkers who have attempted to alter the English language since the Norman Conquest. Geographical and intellectual advancements as well as an increase in the number of foreign terms incorporated into the English language throughout the sixteenth century marked Britain's transition to a uniquely modern language by the time of Shakespeare. This study aims to concentrate on the elements of new word additions, writing style modifications, and the search for the terms' origins. The essay will also provide a brief explanation of further developments that occurred in England throughout the Elizabethan era.
