note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us.One is that since the time of the AngloSaxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different devices for showing the relationship of words in a sentence.AngloSaxon (old English) was a language of many inflections.Modern English has few inflections.We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words.Function words，you should understand，are words such as prepositions，conjunctions，and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words.A few inflections，however，have survived.And when some word inflections come into conflict with word order，there may be trouble for the users of the language，as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and ME or I．The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes，our attitudes toward language forms change also.</p>
