| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research investigated language-internal and -external factors behind various language changes that took place mainly in the Modern English period. Sociolinguistically, the language saw a rapid expansion during the period, having had a considerable effect on the world as the most influential language especially since the nineteenth century. Linguistically, on the other hand, it went through a large number of changes caused by language-external factors associated with shift in its sociolinguistic position as well as purely language-internal factors. They have resulted in what the English language is today.
