@dallasreds @smwforever45 Yosh is absolutely correct… the pidgin/creole nature of English is largely down to Latinate (Norman French) influences; specifically, how the linguistic hēgemonia of an ‘imported/imposed’ language utterly transformed the ‘native’ (Germanic) Anglo-Saxon, (and already hybridized) Anglo-Celtic admix. Case in point, the extensive word re-duplication exhibited by our beautiful mongrel: swine/pork, ask/enquire, buy/purchase, sunder/sever, etcetera. XD
