    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…

    Why Not Use Standard English All the Time?

    Standard English is an idealised variety that constitutes a set of norms associated with intellectualism, professionalism and prestige adopted by the educated speakers of English. As it is of a prescriptive nature, it constitutes what is deemed as the ‘correct’ use of grammar and vocabulary and often found in formal registers of language. Whilst it is most recognisable in written texts, Standard English also appears, though more variably, in spoken modes. However, regular use of Standard English threatens the expression of identity and culture that are conveyed through non-standard linguistic features. These non-standard features are inevitable in the modern globalised world where language is heavily influenced by aspects such as technology, displaying the tendency of language to change constantly and suggesting that a ‘standard’ form of English will not remain standard for long.…

    English Official Language

    There have been many discussions about making English the official language of the United States. And not only has there been discussions, but people are starting to act. There have been movements, unity acts, and even laws have been proposed to make this a reality. So why isn’t English our official language yet? To me the United states has always been a cultural diverse nation. And because it is diverse, it is the reason why America is what it is today. Holding a barrier to one language takes the flavor out of the world and that is why the United States should NOT make English its official language. There should not be an official language at all.…

    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.…

    Malay language

    There are two different varieties of the same language which are used in the community. One is known as “High” varieties, the other “Low” varieties. Each of them has their own role to play in a language. High varieties are commonly applied in the formal contexts, like meeting or press conference while low varieties are usually used in informal contexts, such as daily conversation with friends and family. Diglossia could also occur between two languages (Holmes, 2008).…
