Citazioni | English [...] was flooded with French loan-words during the later Middle Ages [...] It was therefore changing rapidly [...]. The wonder, then, is [...] that, exposed as it was to remolding influences, it remained so true to its own type and historic drift. [...] we have not the right to assume that a language may easily exert a remolding morphological influence on another. |
