Yes as a historical event that happened in English, linguists talk about it's impact and what it was as a cultural moment in the language's history but if you know linguists, you know that they do not care one little tiny bit about prescriptivism or the rules of English. Linguists study how people use language not how people should use language. That's what English teachers are for.
