One of the best things about language is the progression of it. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the languages change through all of the texts we have read this semester. However, this reading really struck me because it is so incredibly close to what we speak today.
Language is such a beautiful and perfect gift. It is so interesting to watch how it changes and adapts to the time. Even today, though the changes are a lot less romantic than they used to be, there are many words and phrases that have recently been added to dictionaries and/or the vocabularies of the people. Language changes to serves the needs or the focus of the people who are speaking it. We have seen so much of that this semester. This work was written in a more commonly spoken tongue than the other works we have read. This shows a change in society and a shift in the people's focus.
