Michael Campbell Romero-Pino Language contact 9/7/22 Language Contact Language contact is a natural and unavoidable social phenomenon that is a direct result from engaging and interacting with people that do not share a common language. Contact results multiply greatly and include the overtaking of lesser languages and their contribution to social function. Communities that speak different languages are a result of their location, and demographic importance. Those ideas push individuals to master multiple dialects in addition to their native language. Most of these variables are all factors that implies Some cultures are better kept through the written word. Contact through language changes greatly according to the actual demographic distribution of that spoken language. While keeping up with modern times We tend to see that language can also get colonized in its relation to the Old World versus The New World ideologies. Industry, commerce and sales, militarized force, or intervention along with trade is how some of those languages tend to get dominated from a cultural perspective. North American approaches to Spanish are different than the Puerto Rican forms of Spanish. The first groundbreaking steps towards an approach as upwardly as that were taken by the United States language policy task force of 1980. within the United States we have implemented Spanglish, that is a commonly misconstrued idea that Spanish words in an English language contains only O's and A's at the end of a word. around 1972 about 190 Puerto Ricans that were residing in New York with the vast majority being racially Puerto Rican, with less than the majority being ethnically Puerto Rican. After asking about 190 people, a small percentage of the lesser majority indicated their use of American Spanglish. Through this research we have discovered that a newer language was formed due to the contact between the Americas and Mexico. A result of these crossover languages catalyzes many basic language rules to render ineffective, resulting in small amounts of vocabulary to overpower certain aspects of another language.
