1 Language Paper Sundra D. Daniels Psy 360 June 13, 2011 Yelena Gidenko 2 Language Paper When an individual understand language they believe on the meaning of diverse language like: French, Spanish, and English. It is not exactly known as to how frequent the concrete meaning of language is thought of. In the specific aspect of language, it has a complicated terminology and interpretation. Language has often been said that it is the defining quality of human understanding (Roitblat, 2007). Language is an important party all human beings life and can be examined by definition of a small group of words known as lexicons.
For example, use of specific personal pronouns such as we and I in writing has been demonstrated to be an illuminating measure of connection with a specific group (ÍñigoMora, 2004; Rass, 2011; Sherblom, 1990). Cross-cultural analysis of pronoun usage has associated those linguistic systems that drop the usage of specific pronouns with a greater collectivist orientation (Kashima & Kashima, 1998). This includes the Spanish language, which consistently contextualizes interpersonal distance through inflections. Koreans have been shown to prefer the use of possessive plural pronouns more than Americans (Na & Choi, 2009). However, priming introduces a fluid aspect to studies of cross-cultural usage of pronouns since specific context can induce favorability toward either collectivist or individualistic mindsets (Oyserman & Lee, 2008).

Code switching is a condition where people switch one language to another for certain purpose or reason in the same time. the changes of the two languages can be included in word, clause, or sentence level (Coupland and Jaworski,1997: 361). People may switch codes within a speech even to discuss particular topic (Holmes, 1992: 44). According to Cecilia Montes Alcala code swicthing in Tex-Mex or Spanglish is regarded as a phenomenon that is oftenly attribute to illeteracy, lack of formal education and proficiency in one or both languages (montes-alcala_1.pdf). Code Switching according to Brown and Attado (2003:84) can be divided into situational and metaphorical code switching.
Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age.By recognising and understanding our individual differences and embracing them, and moving beyond simple tolerance, we can create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued. Equality: Equality means treating people in a way that is appropriate for their needs. For example, if Michael Flanders wanted to board the plane, it would be no good saying to him, “you have the same stairs as everybody else”. What is needed is a way of getting on the plane that will suit everybody’s needs without showing them up and treating them in a way that is worse than other people. Inclusion: Educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all pupils, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity, attainment and background.

It is considered a dialect of English and not a separate language. I have found in my research of Ebonics that there are many types of English. This is why Ebonics is thought to be slang when it is really a dialect. It works much like English language but with little differences. The biggest difference is that of the sound th, in Ebonics the th sound is d. So words like “those” are pronounced “dose”.
Imagine trying to find a common language for all cultures, races, and religions. To most this would seem like a daunting and almost impossible task. However some rhetoricians choose to use this exact thing to analyze rhetoric. Ideographic analysis uses ideologies as a basis for analyzing an entire text. They find the common culture and language of the time and of the race or social issue at hand and pinpoint words or phrases, other people may not see as common.
The word bilingual in the title does not portray which two languages or cultures will be discussed; however, the word itself suggests that the ability of two languages is possible which as well can represent two cultures. From the beginning the authors show the importance of not relinquishing one’s culture and becoming multicultural. The word choices by Gina Valdes and Rhina Espaillat are essential in the insertion of the reader into the merger of two cultures. Both authors used bilingual diction throughout the poems; Spanish and English were the languages used because the Latino and American cultures are the ones being integrated. The Spanish diction in “Bilingual” is denoted with parenthesis.
