WINDS OF CHANGE IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE – AIR OF PERIL FOR<br /> NATIVE SPEAKERS?
Journal Title: Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language) - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
English today is one of the most hybrid and rapidly changing languages in the world. New users of the language are not just passively absorbing, but actively shaping it, breeding a variety of regional Englishes, as well as pidgins and English-lexified creoles. Also, as in an increasing number of countries English is becoming an element of core education, a near-universal basic skill, native-speaker norms are losing both in relevance and in reverence. This unique linguistic phenomenon has immediate consequences for the language classroom which is the subject of this present paper.
