The english tango
Abstract
In this project, I try to combine ideas from the texts Translingual Practice by Suresh Canagarajah and "Should They Write in They Own English" by Vershawn Young to formulate an argument about the strictness of the system of English and even languages as described by scholars and linguists. This argument was very intriguing because I have seen these kinds of restrictions and limitations of common English or Spanglish so I wanted to explore what these two authors had to say about this issue. By analyzing the explanation of "codemeshing" from the two point of views, seeing the functions of languages, trying to find connections between the segregation of language and the increase of dialects, and understanding the difference of tone and audience between the two, I strive to create a concise argument that considers any solutions, point of views, and counter arguments to aid me in my argument.
