Esto sale de una tarea que me dejó mi profesor del toefl.
I am extremely sorry for not sending you the texts y told you i would. This was, formally, the last week of the semester and shit could rain, man.
Luckily, i am a good student and things can go my way if i push hard onto something. I saw most of my friends quite exhausted by the end of the week and i felt strange.
For this homework i want to write about something that came up during class. History has been one of my favorite subjects during time and the way ot reflects on the language amazes me.
You have spoken about Chaucer, some king and Shakespeare and their defining role on modern english, and its rol on the anglo-saxon world. Besides, by explaining the background on social changes, you have showed me english language as a non-static living ent (ente) .
I really don't know if you were motivated by the defence of your job or your culture, but in retrospective it seemed like the language was a defining tool on social revolution. Powerful countries speak on their own language like China or the US.
Yet, i began to realize that even if languages keep evolving, they are not as definitive as they used to be. The historical violence against culture has come to its latest version through standarisation of language, cataloguing its bastard evolution as substandard.
I think language is being managed to be only a productive tool, its evolution doesn't rely on people although technological advances simplify communication.
We should be able to decide the name of things, to deformalize the way we speak so things get developed on the majorities terms. That's my point.
