I have always been curious how a language evolves.
Can anyone recommend a short essay or other online resource/s that explains, with examples, how something like the oldest English (is this Beowolf?) ended up turning out to be English of 2016? I can understand a micro-evolution of language but not really macro...
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
