This session will cover:

• Overview of University College London's „From Old English to World Englishes“ project
• How the work of OED's historical lexicographers complements the work of historical linguists
• How linguists and lexicographers can contribute to society's knowledge of how the language has evolved from Old English to Middle English to Modern English
• How studying the history of English helps us understand why the words we use look or sound the way they do, why English has borrowed so extensively from other languages, and why it has many different varieties spoken in different parts of the world
• Several examples of words and senses recorded in the OED
• Q&A time

Presenters:

• Dr Danica Salazar (panel chair) | World English Executive Editor, Oxford University Press
