RE: ADSactly Education: Anglicisms in Spanish Language and Culture (Part I)

in #education5 years ago

Very good job! Working with young people, the experience I have with anglicism is closer and more recurrent. The language is arbitrary and mobile, it transforms, so many times the speaker is the one who sets the rules and sets the guidelines in that transformation. While it is true that there has always been the assimilation of other languages by speakers, the use of networks, the Internet, television series and globalization itself has made this phenomenon more palpable. The Spanish Royal Academy has already had to put the language in its pocket and accept some "not so pure" words that are part of our language. Thank you for sharing, @hlezama.

Very true. Languages and those who speak it are ultimately the ones to determine the viability of certain changes or innovations. Some expressions catch on, others not so much, and yet others not at all. Like rebel children, languages resist normativity to a certain extent.
