In order to provide a sufficient response to this intriguing inquiry, one should acknowledge the influential milestones of the Early Modern English period (c.1450 -1750) that laid the groundwork for the emergence of Samuel Johnson’s invaluable dictionary. On the top of that list is the evolution of the English Renaissance which is often referred to as the “Elizabethan Era” or the “Age of Shakespeare” after the most significant monarch and notable dramatist of that memorable era. Another remarkable occurrence is the British exploration, colonization, and overseas trade which hastened the English language’s acquisition of loanwords. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the glorious union of England and Scotland took place at that time while English acquired a typographic

Aside from his conspicuous ability with exposition, what is it about Shakespeare 's work that keeps him significant in classrooms, on stages, in movies, in hearts, in brains—and, "even in detainment facilities, [where] educators find […] Shakespeare offers

Across time, many people have advocated for the stabilisation of the English language. Samuel Johnson was a lexicographer who dedicated his life to doing so. He published his dictionary in 1755, in an effort to prescribe the use of the London dialect of English. However, his aims were not met and people continued to speak in their various dialects. What Samuel Johnson did not expect was the unstoppable way in which language evolves. Neither did he realise the timeframe required for

In America, the debate about “English only in public" has alerted us all, including immigrants. Immigrants come from all over the world. Being a Mexican-American and bilingual myself, I’ve analyzed the concepts of speaking a different language in public and there the linked principles between languages and power. Power is greatly linked to languages and it is something that immigrants as well as minorities have a hard time entering. They have to work twice as hard because of their skin color, their ethnicity, and their language. To have power in America, one must learn and know the English language. Our languages is a huge part of our cultures. Many believe, in America, we should all know the english language. This is true in so many ways, but for those who are bilingual, let's not forget about our native languages. I strongly believe that the English-only debate is a mixture of social and political issues and English should not be the only language we speak in America.

The history of any language defines its origin, present time and the etymology of the words being spoken in that language and how they have change with the passage of time.

I knew from the first day I started high school I had no desire to go to college. My main goal was to graduate high school even if that meant doing only the bare minimum. Which is exactly what I did. I didn't know how important an education was until after high school. Once graduating I enrolled into cosmetology school and even there my instructors advised me to get a degree, which I still was against. After receiving my cosmetology license I began working at a beauty supply store. I found myself knowing what I wanted to say but not knowing how to get it across without talking in ebonics when educating customers. We had a lot of Hispanic customers and only had one employee who spoke Spanish. On her off days I would find myself trying to translate as much as I could from what I could remember from high school Spanish classes. However I spoke Spanglish, a mixture of English and Spanish, which left me feeling embarrassed and frustrated that I couldn't communicate like I wanted to. This prompted me to go back to school for a degree in Spanish and work on my English skills. In her article, “Spanish Lesson,” Christine Marin writes about being raised in an English only household despite being Mexican-American and learning the power of her Spanish language and being bilingual.

With more than 350 million people around the world speaking English as a first language and more than 430 million speaking it as a second language, there are English speakers in every country around the world. The English language is becoming an important language here in America because of the opportunities like higher education, and the careers that it brings. It is all over the media in a way to unite people from different cultures. However, for the people that English is not their first language, it affects them mentally by feeling like an outsider and not being able to learn the English language to fit in America. The way society currently thinks language encourages prejudice, segregation, and discrimination against the non-native English speakers. It's important to notice how people are viewed and judged in order to unite the communities. English has to be learned, but there are ways that instead of helping the communities it produces contradictory results, by working to integrate individuals into a main culture while at the same time singling them out through their involvement, ethics boundary markers, and way of speaking the English language.

Though English is not my first language, it always had been a major part of my education since childhood. At my school in Bangladesh, I was required to be able to read and write English. As a result, since I was little and started going to school learning the English alphabets and being able to read and write in English was a huge part of the grades I received. By the time I was in third grade, I was able to read some of the children books and poems. However, the English education in Bangladesh somewhat focuses on grammar. I never really enjoyed the fact that I knew how to read and write since most of the time I did not understand the meaning of the words that were in front of my eyes. With the English education received from my school in
