• History of English Language
• Loanwords
• Growth of English language (where do new words come from? Example: Word gifts)

Culture?

According to the Oxford University Press culture is: 

"The way of life of a people, including their attitudes, values, beliefs, arts, sciences, modes of perception, and habits of thought and activity. Cultural features of forms of life are learned but are often too pervasive to be readily noticed from within."
