Beschreibung
Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: In this essay the various ways through which colonials imposed imperial languages are presented followed by examples of how postcolonial responses on the issue of language might have varied but shared the goal of declaring resistance and reclaiming indigenous identities. In colonial and postcolonial discourse, language has a central role since language has the power to shape people’s perception of the world. Language was used during colonization as a tool which could influence knowledge and understanding in many significant aspects of life such as politics, economics and social environment. However, language has been used by both colonials as a means for establishing their domination but also by post-colonial individuals in order to reclaim their cultural identities after emancipation.
