English as an Official Language

Introduction

There is a new dilemma in the American political game: Should English legally established as an official language in the United States? Some people agree that this should be done on the basis that we as a nation must develop cross-cultural commonalities. Others disagree with this idea, arguing that it is not conducive to individualism cultures. I think that the latter group has more than an argument. People are programmed for the construction of hundreds of thousands of words, from the relatively small number of sounds.

Discussion

From a purely economic point of view of language can be seen as facilitating the exchange institution, just as important in their struggle, as other, more deeply studied the foundations of orderly markets, such as clearly defined property rights and rules for the contracts. Market, of course, is not only an economic dependence on language, since language can be used for many purposes, including coercion (“arrest this man!").

The paradigm of the exchange, however, proved analytically fruitful and, indeed, was applied to the economists to help explain the functioning of political markets, trade patterns within the family, crime, drug addiction, and many others, it would seem, "noneconomic" aspects of human behavior (Crawford, 34-39).

Viewing language as a convenient exchange of the establishment is located in the study of its growth and influence directly the singular point of view of economic science. This analytical framework in no way diminishes the importance of more traditional approaches to this issue; it simply draws attention to the emerging literature in which economists have begun to colonize the language.

We can say that the U.S. is linguistically diverse, because of the many languages, but we can also find a variety of these languages (Piatt, 56-110). These variations, or dialects, can differ in lexicon, phonology, and / or syntax of the standard language that we often think of as a right 'language, although they are not necessarily less adequate than, say, Standard English. It depends on where, by whom and in what position of the dialect used in that, if this is appropriate.

Such fluctuations are usually due to immigration and human settlements. Regional differences tend to become more pronounced as the speech community to be more isolated by physical geography, ie, mountain ranges and rivers. Many linguists say, when people from knowing whether a person has food home from the supermarket in a paper bag or in a grocery store in paper bags (Bikales, 77-85). A man who comes home from the supermarket in the bag serves as a reminder to us that the linguistic differences are not discrete and continuous variable. Dialects features are more pronounced in the middle of the speech community, and tend to be less visible on the external borders, which they often overlap other regional dialects.

The creation of English as the official language of the United States will do many things. First of all, the modern American idea of multiculturalism will be diminished. Second, many immigrants will not have equal chances of employment, education, driver ...
