                 I think that social networking gives language a new face in terms of communication and content. in this new century, teenagers are beginning to clip words and blend and borrow words to mke new words. It has become a posistive and negative affect on the world in the sense that in a positive note it introduces a new culture norm and the contrary being that we somewhat lose our prescriptive way of speaking.

                Ithink that it is a combination of both because not only does the spread of the internet and other technologies create a larger need for English, but different languages in the world. what reduces the necessity of the need of the knowledge of the english language is the search engines and web translators that the web and technology has.

My Name

                                  

Autobiography

       I was raised speaking English because that is the primary language in the U.S. although I speak the same language at home, work, school and my friends, I don't speak it it's proper manner. I feel as if language has evolved to become many things but still remaining the foundation. It also varies among the setting or who are talking to. When I am in school and work, I am polite with the way I hold a conversation amongst my superiors and when I am at home or with my friends I am more relaxed and I express myself freely.

       Learning English from school and home was something that was different. I say this because at home there was no rules in speaking a language and everyone knew what you were saying. In school, it was more uniformed and organized so we would have to think about what we say before we say it. I believe that language occurred between a society trying to survive. It was an evolution in a sense that since society is growing all the time, we are creating new ways to adapt.the way I learned spanish is different than spanish because of its use of masculine and feminine tendencies of words. What I wonder about language is what sparked the phenomenon of language.
