1:44
one of the defining features of Old
1:47
English is its intricate vocabulary
1:49
influenced by a medley of languages
1:51

1:57
influences results in a lexicon that
2:00
brims with multifaceted words each
2:02
carrying layers of meaning that often
2:04
require multiple Modern English words to
2:07
convey adequately

resonated with both literal and
3:39
metaphorical interpretations all within
3:42

Clarity in modern communication has led
4:21
to the shading of certain linguistic
4:23
features that were prevalent in Old
4:25
English
4:26
as a result while Modern English excels
4:29
in straightforward communication it may
4:31
sometimes struggle to capture the
4:33
profound emotional and conceptual
4:35
nuances that its predecessor
4:37
effortlessly conveyed
