- D1000 BC
2In this context, soon after the conquest of the [blank_start]Gaul[blank_end] (region of western Europe comprising [blank_start]France[blank_end], Belgium and other regions), the most natural goal for the Romans was Britain.

13By the [blank_start]16[blank_end]th century, modern languages faced 3 main problems.
- To being with, they lacked [blank_start]recognition[blank_end] in most fields, given that Latin had been supreme for centuries.
- In addition, the need of establishing a uniform [blank_start]orthography[blank_end] was becoming urgent.
- Finally, they required an [blank_start]enrichment[blank_end] of vocabulary to overcome the strong tradition that sanctioned Latin as the language of [blank_start]knowledge[blank_end].- A16

14During the [blank_start]17[blank_end]th century, English still acquired a great number of new words, most of them borrowed from [blank_start]Latin[blank_end]. They were, however, not accepted by everybody. The new borrowings were considered extremely obscure and learned, and their use a sign of [blank_start]pedantry[blank_end]. Thus, they came to be known as “[blank_start]inkhorn[blank_end] terms”, a designation adopted to ridicule them.

15The [blank_start]18[blank_end]th century is considered to be the last period of Latin influence. By that time, there was a great concern about the [blank_start]purity[blank_end] of language. A general fear prevailed that English could be ruined by the intrusion of foreign words, especially [blank_start]French[blank_end]. That prevented further influence via borrowings until the developments of scientific and technical innovations from the [blank_start]19[blank_end]th century.
