Ex. 5. Read the following Early New English variant of the

translation and compare the predica

tes in EME and OE texts:

heard, came, did not seem painful, beheld, overcame, put to flight,

bare.

All the students are to analyze the three ways of storing the

"resources" of the language at the seminar with the teacher:

1. Forming new words from the foreign loans by means of

native affixes.

2. Modifying the sense of existing English words.

3. Framing new words from native stems.

It seems logical that before analyzing this or that text,

professors of History of English should point out all the possible

errors straight away. The result of this work is to find out the

most difficult problems which are to be discussed at the next

seminar.

Let’s get rid of our "inferiority complex of never doing quite

enough" and enjoy studying the English language, which has

undergone a lot of changes through the centuries.

We are hoping that all the texts and the exercises with our

keys will help students take their confidence in studying English

at the next level.
