Question 1
The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century
revolutionized the spread of the English language. Before the printing press, manuscripts
were laboriously hand-copied, making books rare and expensive. With the advent of the
printing press, mass production of books became possible, significantly reducing costs
and increasing accessibility. William Caxton introduced the printing press to England in
1476, publishing works such as Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales." This was
crucial for standardizing English spelling and grammar, as printed materials provided a
uniform model for the language. The press facilitated the dissemination of English
literature, religious texts, and scholarly works, promoting literacy and making English a
prominent language in literature, education, and administration (Eisenstein, 1980).
