The incorporation of a massive amount of French vocabulary assisted in the change that English underwent over the centuries, from Old English to the Middle English to Modern English. French has seriously impacted many fields of knowledge such as legal language or trade terms. The present paper will be offering the overall historical, social, and linguistic context, which facilitated the permeation of French into the English language. It will also specifically analyse this impact on some extracts from well-known English literary pieces, dating from different centuries, in order to measure the impact of French vocabulary on this field of knowledge.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessproyecto fin de carrerathe norman conquestfrenchenglishliteraturevocabularyetymological analysis
