COMPLEXITIES OF ENGLISH: A STUDY OF GRAMMAR, VOCABULARY, AND PRONUNCIATION

Abstract

The English language, renowned for its complexity and adaptability, contains numerous peculiarities in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. This study aims to analyze these distinctive features, exploring the historical, linguistic, and sociocultural factors contributing to the language's evolution. Through qualitative research methods, this study gathers insights from linguistic scholars and examines literature prior to 2020 to provide a comprehensive understanding of these peculiarities. Findings reveal that English’s uniqueness stems from historical language borrowing, irregular spelling conventions, and evolving usage norms, impacting both native and non-native speakers. Recommendations are provided to support English learners and educators in navigating its idiosyncrasies.
