Abstract

This article deals with the question of whether English was subject to pidginization or not. Different points of view are presented but to answer the question definitely is not possible since there are no specific criteria to define a language as a contact one. However, the necessary external conditions for pidginization actually existed in the history of the English language, and a mechanism similar to the mechanism of the creolization process took place. This conclusion can be proved by the analysis of different elements of the English grammar. This article presents the results of the comparative diachronic research of non-finite verbal paradigm in the English language.

Highlights

The purpose of this study is defined by the fact that many elements of the grammatical system of modern English are significantly different from their counterparts of the Old English period
The aim of this article is to look closely at the most probable version that is the break of the literary tradition, caused by the prevailing extra linguistic circumstances leading to extensive language contacts of the English language with other languages
This article is a generalization of the results of a more in-depth study, during which the socio-historical conditions for the implementation of language contacts of the English language in the Middle Ages were studied; languages that could have a significant impact on the development of the English language were identified
