Dear Steve,I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, and thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy. Will you let me be yours?Melanie
Dear Steve,
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, and thoughtful people who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we’re apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours,
Melanie
(Start Copying again!!) Lingua Franca• A “common trading language”• Evolved during crusades along Med.Sea
trading routes• Traders needed to communicate
• A Language Convergence – Tongue of Franks (S. France traders) mixed
with Greeks, Italians, Spanish & Arabic
• Today, English = global lingua franca
• PIDGIN -simple language that arises from contacts between people with different mother tongues (small vocab.)– Caribbean colonization –
English / French / African speakers mix = A Pidgin English
– Used among common people, not elite
• Over time, pidgin might become the mother tongue
• CREOLIZATION – process where a new language emerges (replacement)– Gains native speakers
– Original Pidgin becomes fully adopted (called Creole language)
MULTILINGUAL STATE
• Country where more than one language is used– Switzerland, Quebec, Belgium
• MONOLINGUAL STATE – Only one language spoken– Japan, Iceland, Portugal
