An historical overview

This page is a group on the Yahoo Network, called Analytical Indicant Theory. In one of its posts, a member of the group wrote the essay: "Latin and English: a historical overview". It is a great and well-informed text, especially because it explains the different phases of English adoption and assimilation of Latin: the Zero, First, Second, Third, and Modern periods. It is interesting to read because it gives many interesting examples of words which came from Latin and may be unknown by us.
