Abstract

A rather controversial issue in historical linguistics concerns the determination of the impact that other languages may have in the later development of a given language, especially in cases contact is known to have been intense. This contribution attempts to give an assessment of the impact of the Romance element in Medieval times and establishes useful contrasts with later romance element. We also attempt to discern how both Romance strata have influenced contemporary English. We shall deal with the history of Romance influence –French and Latin-, and feel the need to examine the problems which relate to the determination of sources. It is hoped that our discussion may contribute to understand the relevance and weight of Germanic vs Romance elements in contemporary English.
