ENG 358 Week 1 Benchmark Assignment – Etymological Research
Essay
Details:
Choose a word you use often. Make sure the word has some history
(at least a few hundred years). After you have your chosen word, find the
word’s root and history by going to the Oxford
English Dictionary.
Summarize the word’s history and root language(s). Write an
essay of 750-1,000 words describing the history and developmental changes of
the word, including its beginnings in the English language and how it has
changed in usage, prevalence, and context over time.
Then, answer this question: In chapter 1 of Changing English by
Graddol et al. (2007), Joan Swann explains that some accounts of change in the
English language differ in terms of their approach. She explains that one of
her sources, Tom McArthur, emphasized “the diversity of different ‘Englishes’,
in terms of their linguistic characteristics and the social political contexts
in which they are used” (p. 6). By contrast, another of Swann’s sources,
Randolph Quirk, approached the study of English from the assumption that the
language is “relatively fixed, something unified and discrete, playing down the
diversity highlighted by McArthur” (p. 6). Thus, we have two paradigms: the paradigm
of diversity or the paradigm of stability. How do your representation of your
chosen word’s history and the entry you find in the Oxford English Dictionary reflect
one of these two paradigms? Or do your history and the Oxford English Dictionary‘s
entry fall somewhere in between? Explain your reasoning.
This assignment is designed to get you familiar with the history
of a single word. By studying a word’s history, you will gain greater insight
into the flexibility of language and the importance of meaningful reading and
writing.
