Communication is an integral part of how humans to relate to one another, both individually and by group. Language is one of the central unifying elements of a civilization; it binds people of the group together and also distinguishes them from other groups. While there are many factors involved in the creation of a language, geography can help us trace its origins. Choose one of the sociolinguistic phenomena below, and explore the influencing factors that have shaped its condition. ◦Welsh language becoming obsolete ◦Early African Americans creating a pidgin (common language) to communicate with one another ◦Romance languages existing all over the modern world ◦Quechua speaking a “high language” in public and a “vernacular language” in the home 1.What transpired in the group’s history to cause this linguistic circumstance? 2.Can a group maintain a strong identity without having a common language to bind them? Fully develop your findings in a 2-3 page paper, and be sure to format your paper and cite your research sources as per APA guidelines.
