Edgar W. Schneider is a German linguist who investigate the evolution of
English across the world. He is my career-related persona. Some of the books I have read
are ‘English around the World’, 'A Handbook of Varieties of English' and 'Post Colonial English'. Which are a some introductory works portraying all the
different aspects of modern English and its evolution over time and across the world.
A first glance the content stroke me hard as he spoke of ‘World Englishes’.
I thought there concept was mistaken. Later, l learnt that is the pluralization
that users have incorporated into the language, by instance grammar characteristics,
vocabulary and phonetic variation have made possible the conceptualization!
As a related topic, one of my favourite sites is https://www.ethnologue.com/
since I can find all the necessary data to learn about a specific language group of a hidden culture. Language is at the core of this site. I also love the anthropological
side of it, which makes me feel more connected to its content.
Hi Juan. I like your blog and the themes that you write. I think that is important have referents in the life. Today this can be a person, a book or a website jaja. When a person think that discovered the gunpowder and he don't have a referent is complicated.
ReplyDeleteLinguistics is a very fascinating topic of knowledge as is philology. When you study different forms of language, a world opens up before your eyes. In any case, I think that language hasn´t evolved over time, but has been degenerating.
ReplyDeleteIn deed language evolves, the very language isn't alike at all to that of used in the XIV century. Language evolution hasn't anything to do with language correctness and/or linguistic purity. Probable you refer to the new tendencies pushing new conceptualization around language gender. Thankfully, language evolution doesn't get affected by such tendencies...
DeleteThe anthropoly is ligated to the theater too! maybe is because is related to social phenomenons, where the lenguage and rites are part of the theatrical performance. What fascinating to learn about how the develop of language, as in the societys change. As my teachers says ''Language create the frames of our reality'', a reality that is always in transformation.
ReplyDeleteWOW, how I loved this comment! Thinking and rethinking about you said Noelia, I totally agree about that relation between arts and anthropology and language in the end. Human beings are a field of study in itself!
DeleteHi teacher, like Noelia said before anthropology is very ligated to the theater, so it's very nice to read how many things we do are connected, i found this blog very interesting.
