2008-09 BM2: Session 3
From Angl-Am
The session should provide a framework of the most important events. The ideal session will mention those dates which will reoccur in the ensuing sessions. Our course should aim at an understanding of those dates and events that triggered developments in almost all fields of the cultural production.
- The spread of global English
- The Anglo Saxon raids
English Lingua franca, American/Anglo Saxon Culture influences the whole world. Political Reasons: 20th century and the US as remaining superpower, 19th century: Great Britain the great Global player. If we go back in history we have to deal with periods in which neither the Anglo Saxon culture nor English as a language played an important role.
