Questão 6)

Variations in English

How we speak is influenced by many things. Firstly, there is learning to speak English itself, where how we
pronounce our words is all part of learning how to speak and copying the speech of those around us. If we are
born into bilingual families, then we may learn to speak English alongside another language. Then, as we go to
school, we learn to read and to write a written equivalent of English speech that has standardised forms of
spelling, punctuation and grammar, known as standard English.

Questão 7)

Why isn't "American" a language?

Why does American English take such liberties with our common tongue? On the other hand, why has it not
taken more liberties? English speakers first started colonizing America more than 400 years ago. Since then,
American English has been evolving, influenced by other languages, culture and technology. As the linguist Max
Weinreich said, a language is a dialect with an army and a navy; the US has been an independent country for
more than two centuries – and boasts the world’s most powerful examples of both. So why is American not a
separate language? Money talks, and the US has not seen it as worthwhile to declare a distinct language, since
American English, like the American dollar, is the current dominant force globally, like it or not.
Adaptado de HARBECK, James. Why isn't "American" a lanugage? Disponível em: <http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20150715-why-isnt-american-a-language>. Acesso
em: 04 jul. 2018.

According to the text, why isn't "American" considered a language?

____________________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________
Resolução

Because American English is already a dominant force and does not need to be declared as a separate language
to influence the world.

English as the universal language of science: opportunities and challenges

English is now used almost exclusively as the language of science. The adoption of a de facto universal language
of science has had an extraordinary effect on scientific communication: by learning a single language, scientists
around the world gain access to the vast scientific literature and can communicate with other scientists anywhere
in the world. However, the use of English as the universal scientific language creates distinct challenges for those
who are not native speakers of English.
