Modern English

Krapp's classic study of the English language charts its evolution from Old English to Middle English to Modern English, with a focus on the linguistic and social factors that shaped its development. In addition to tracing the changes in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, Krapp also examines the role of dialects, regional variations, and literary styles in shaping the way we use language today.
