ENGLISH KNOWLEDGE
Foreign words
English has gone through
many periods in which large numbers of words from a particular language were
borrowed. These periods coincide with times of major cultural contact between
English speakers and those speaking other languages. The waves of borrowing
during periods of especially strong cultural contacts are not sharply
delimited, and can overlap. For example, the Norse influence on English began
already in the 8th century A.D. and continued strongly well after the Norman
Conquest brought a large influx of Norman French to the language.

Standard
According the
oxford dictionary The standard english is the form of the English language
widely accepted as the usual correct form.
‘The
children use native forms at home and speak standard English at
school'. Come Quickly! i didn't break it!.
The
Non-standard English, According ''teflpedia'' refers to use of English, that is
considered to be sub-standard or not "proper". However,
does not mean cannot be used. the vast majority of the English language
which we use today would certainly have been considered non-standard or incorrect
at some point. For example: ''if I was you'' is used in place of "If I
were you".'They was waiting'' is used in place of "they were waiting
for us"
New words
The new words
are rarely created 'out of the blue'. Word families Language users can both
create new words and understand unfamiliar words, by making connections with
other related words. A group of words that share the same root. is called a
word family. For example, the use of 'diss' (as in 'Don't diss me') shows a
creative use of language, forming a free-standing new word from the prefix used
in words such as: dis-respect dis-like dis-agree. These languages have
inflections for the gender of nouns. German also has inflections for the case
(whether subject, object, etc.) of nouns.
Donotation
& Connotation
Connotation and
Denotation are two principal methods of describing the meanings of
words.
Connotation refers to the wide array of positive and negative associations that
most words
naturally carry with them, whereas denotation is the precise, literal
definition
of a word that
might be found in a
dictionary.
the English
words or expressions whose denotation is completely different from their connotation
because is a suggested or stereotypes that the people put to the other.
No is possible
speak fluent language because a diary with speak with connotation are no use
formal language and plus our society already accustomed to the connotation and will
always talk that way.
