1 jan 1800 ano - Around the start of Late Modern English

Descrição:

The Late Modern English period came into existence around the 1800s, shaped by colonisation and the Industrial Revolution. New words were needed for the new scientific and industrial breakthroughs and these words were shaped from Greek and Latin (as most scientific words are). Because of the British colonisation, the English language spread worldwide and created new variants and dialects of English, such as Australian English and American English. The creation of English dictionaries in this time helped to globalise the language and as technologies developed, radio and the internet also helped this. Our lexicon has been expanded because of all these things, and the pronunciation or phonemes and vocabulary from each English speaking language differs as some words in America and Australia are different and are not found in each other's dictionary.
