I've been listening to a library rental on the History of The English Language done by Prof. Michael Drout. I've been learning a considerable amount of very interesting things about linguistics. Most recently about Grimm's Law and Verner's Law and I Mutation, and other very confusing laws of linguistic mutation in Germanic language from PIE(Proto-Indo-European).
Okay, really something that is highly more interesting to me is the Hapax Legomenon, which simply put is word that appears only once within a written body of work, which is a very interesting phenomenon to happen.
You can of course read more at the links provided above. If you want a little more fun, then oyu can visit the Hapax Legomenon.
