Analysis Of English As An Incarnate Language
English is an incarnate language—I accept this fact wholeheartedly. There is probably a good reason we are not discovering the Urdu slang for "#swag" or "LOL": the language is dead ( for some ), definitely spoken but no longer changing. To be honest, based on those two words, I would endeavor to guess that Urdu is grateful to be dead for the ubiquitous some and the youth . Even in a bizarre scenario, where languages had an afterlife, I bet Urdu would be brutally tortured for eternity, surrounded by hellfire and brimstone , and the entire time it would grin as the demons gnawed at it thinking, "Well, Booyah! atleast no one is using me to say ‘# IKR.’" ( I know right ! Imagine that ? )

Languages, as long as they are spoken, mature, nurture, …show more content…
But if you want to create and change the language you are speaking, PLEASE LEARN TO SPEAK IT FIRST IN ITS TRUE SPIRIT! You know why we still, to this day, use words that Shakespeare just created from the nib of his pen ? Because the man was brilliant and had unheard dexterity of the language in those times. When he noticed a flaw he fixed it, and THAT is how a language should progress. Years ago the words "gluon" and "quark" were just nonsense, but then we discovered those particles and gave them names. THAT is how a language should …show more content…

Status : "Who wants to get a bevie with me ?"

Oh my God ( or OMG please !) NO ONE! You missing-chromosome-lame -excuse - of -a -homo-sapien . How valuable are your calories?! Are you wasting away as you type that pathetic plea for attention? Probably not. So stop it. You’re not helping anyone, you are not saving anyone time, and you are just giving me brain tumour !

#Quettadiaries
English language has been distilled to one symbol: #. And abbreviations . Not international abbreviations or Army Abbreviations ( even they make sense in this scenario) . But some crazy mixture of IDK and BAE that leaves me flabbergasted. I am all for "keeping it simple" mantra but this # hashtag disease has gone too #far.
Times have changed. #iykwim. ( If You Know What I Mean ) I don’t believe any aesthetically balanced sane person can but what if you are from the hippie crowd bend on distorting the decent version of English . Way to go Muh Man

    English as a Common Ground

    English as a Common Ground

    English as a common ground is so that Americans can understand what is being spoken to each other. Americans should be able to communicate and read any material out in this country without wondering what is being said. Foreigners or non-English speaking citizens are increasingly becoming more segregated, creating poverty- stricken areas. The creation of these areas is due to the language barrier (US-English, 2012). Americans who speak English can find it insulting when other begins to speak to them in another language. Majority of the states have English as their official language. So when a foreigner begins to speak another language or attempt to communicate in English, it could be found offensive because if the same person were to go to their country, it would offensive if you did not speak their language. When living or visiting the United States, it would be safe to assume that everyone spoke English if it were the official language. No one would be insulted, nor would an individual find it hard to communicate with another. Making English the official language of the United States means that the government will be conducting everything solely in English. This includes all public documents, records, legislation and regulations, as well as hearings, official ceremonies and public meetings (US-English, 2012). “This means that everything will be conducted in the English language and that no one will have the right to demand government services in any other language” (ProEnglish, 1994). The government cost of multilingualism is in the hundreds of million dollars. Companies have to spend about 15 to 20 percent of production cost to use in translation services (CalRecycle, 1995). For example, Hospitals have to pay for translators to those who do not speak English. Translators in California are paid $45 to $50 an hour! While…

    Designating English As The Official Language Analysis

    English should be the official language of the United States because it is the original language of the United States. Everyone that lives in or moves to the United States should have to learn English as a primary or secondary language. Also, I am not saying that it should be the only language spoken in the United States, It should be a requirement to speak this language because when coming to this county there are many people who hold certain jobs that are very vital to your base needs who can only speak English because that is the only language they have every known such…

    Are today's kids killing the english language?

    In today's society the English language is viewed as an ever changing piece of communication that was once only a simple combination of words. Although English is still our main language in the United States, many feel it has been downgraded in its importance due to the amount of slang and other common slanders its users today have stemmed from it. Today's population of adolescents are majorly being blamed for this factor.…

    Chemistry Lab Report 2

    In our second part of our experiment to determine the molarity of NaOH, we rinsed a burette with about 5ml of water and another 5ml of NaOH to prepare it for the experiment. We then measured exactly 25ml of the prepared KHP from the previous part into a 250ml Erlenmeyer flask and added 2 drops of the indicator, phenolphthalein. Next we filled the burette with the approximately 0.1 M NaOH so that our initial volume will be 0.0mls. We then started our titration by carefully pouring a little amount of the base into the prepared 25ml of KHP with phenolphthalein until we reached the end point. Since the molarity of the NaOH was designed to be more or less the same with the acid, we knew that it would take equal amount of the base to reach the endpoint. Thus we added the first 20 mls in about 5ml increment and swirled to mix after each addition then added just 6-7 drops for the next mls. After we started observing a pink color, we started adding just 2 drops at a time and swirl the flask. When we…

    ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD. LOANWORDS AND THEIR ASSIMILATIONS

    Language and words are part of us human beings. That goes without saying. Because if it won’t be any words people wouldn’t be able to communicate with each other, it wouldn’t be any languages. Nowadays, in such a rushing world everything needs to be done fast. We don’t pay attention to the words we are saying in our daily conversations. We don’t even realize that the origin of the word, its meaning changed over time.…

    English: an Endangered Language?

    Immigrants are viewed by many as one of the fastest growing threats to Standard American English. Grammar prescriptivists and verbal hygienists often argue that the influx of non-native English speakers is one the biggest reasons for the “decline” of American English. Despite the increase of bilingual households, most experts don’t expect Spanish, or really any other language to ever pose a legitimate threat to English, simply because the mother language is usually lost by the second generation. Slang often arises from minority groups as well, another cause for concern to prescriptivists. Expressions like “we be going”, “dope”, and “nasty” all originated from street talk and culture. With this slang entering mainstream culture, many are trying to distance themselves as far away as possible.…

    English as a Lingua Franca

    English as a lingua franca I am going to tell you something about English as a lingua franca. I will be talking about 3 different subjects concerning English as a lingua franca and a lingua franca in common. First of all I will tell you something about the purpose of a lingua franca, or in other words; What is a lingua franca. Secondly I will give some reasons why a lingua franca should be or might be introduced. Then last but not least I will mention some of the problem which might occur when you’re trying to introduce a lingua franca. What is a lingua franca? A lingua franca is a language which would be used as a second language by all people. Maybe some of you have ever heard about Esperanto. It was created in 1859 by dr. Ludwik Zamenhof. Dr. Zamenhof was born in the former Russian part of Poland. His official profession was doctor. The city where he was born, Bialystok, it was common that the people where speaking Russian, Polish, Latvian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian and German. At the end of the 19th century Dr. Zamenhof wrote a book for which he was using the pseudonym “Dr. Esperanto”. This name was based on his hope for a new language. This language supposed to become a language which would be used and learned by everyone, so everybody would be able to understand each other and therefore the people might appreciate each other a bit more than when they are not able to understand each other. Dr. Zamenhof died in Warsaw in 1917. He never saw his ideal to have one common language become reality just partly. Since this time people became more and more interested in one common language, but so far nobody succeeded. English is one of the most mentioned languages when people are talking about a lingua franca, that’s one of the reasons why I chose English as a lingua franca as the subject of my presentation. Now I will tell you something about the reasons why we should have English as a lingua franca. First of all English is already used a lot all over the world.…

    Mapping Youth Culture Through Fliptop

    Language has been our ‘dress of thought’ and avenue of free views and ideas. Unsurprisingly, our values and contemporary influences are imbedded in the language or the choice of words we use. “Language is the key to the heart of culture.” The correlation between language and culture enabled language to “hold the power to maintain national and cultural identity” (Samovar, Porter, 2000).…
