USE
IN GROUP ACTIVITY 1
Instructions:
In group read the 2 following statements then reflect on the

your discussion below the 2 extracts.
- In terms of Attitude and Judgements, what are the consequences of

Statement 1

Council’s English 2000 project . . . Speaking after the launch, Prince Charles
elaborated on his view of the American influence. “People tend to invent all sorts of
nouns and verbs, and make words that shouldn’t be. I think we have to be a bit careful,
otherwise the whole thing can get rather a mess.”
(The Times, 24 March 1995)
Statement 2
Language standards are rarely contested, even by those who are engaged in radical
and far-reaching social critique. Yet, standards discriminate against those who don’t
conform, and language standardisation has systematically worked against the
underclass as well as women and minorities . . . The existence of standards, however
objectionable, cannot be denied, so the only viable option, politically at any rate, is to
work towards broadening the standard to include the greatest variety possible,
particularly the ‘uneducated’ arenas of usage which have so far been considered
inappropriate, mistaken, even pathological.
