INTRODUCTION



Middle English, which refers to the English language spoken from around 1100 to 1500, is
often considered a transitional period between Old English and Modern English. During this
time, the English language underwent significant changes in terms of grammar, vocabulary,
and pronunciation due to various influences, including the Norman Conquest and the
influence of Old Norse and Latin.
