Comments

  1. 1) The author is trying to emphasise on how domestic environment effects the language of a child. Exposure to various dialects prevalent in metropolitan cities, influences the child's verbiage. This in turn, creates a challenge for teachers when trying to teach the child a correct language afresh.
    2) Most of the time when I speak in English many time people make out I am native of southern part of India.
    3)My mother tongue and my domestic environment have influenced this way of speaking.
    4) My natural surrounding,my school where I have born and brought up.
    5)Yes I came in this situation while attending school seminar in my school days when one of the speaker was reciting and explaining his poem totally in Sanskrit and I was out of the place as what is he saying?
    6) Very rarely at my workplace ,do to my accent of my mother tongue used the same for marathi language also.
    7) language is mode of communication,It is the culture which get showcase through language and indirectly ones identity from where he or she belong.It through language one can name ones experiences through words .

  2. 1.The Social empowerment is used to understand the important language related to speaking the different language because of level of participation family,group,etc. It also help to self esteem and level of self Confidence.

    2 when I speak to English then neighbor's understand i have more knowledge about linguistic because when i speak on way of my friends,parents,teachers and young children.

    3 The all kind of situation like learning and teaching influenced the way of speaking.

    4 In a School,Colleges and Classes in these environment have to build my English.

    5 yes,In 7th std. of English Teacher was teach different types of poem in school that i never understood which type of poem she teached.

    6 I speak to my best friends and also speak to my elder sister at home only.

    7 language is a connection between the family,Culture,identity,Music and wisdom.without language can't communicate each other and no culture can sustain.language is actually our identity. It is increase a personslity as well as development.

  3. 1)The author in the scenario has written the topic related to Amachi Mumbai related to the difficulties of multilinguias spoken by different caste or religion has different types of languages spoken by them. When the child is born and brought by in Mumbai it becomes easier to learn Marathi language as per the states they are living. Sometimes children get difficult to learn and understand the English language because they migrate from one state to another. Thus it becomes difficult for the teacher to teach or communicate the speaking and learning process.
    2) As in the scenario Salman Rushdie a English novelist of Indian origin Bombay’s garbage argot, Mumbai kachra pati, baat-cheer. Many languages are spoken in their own mother tongue. As my mother tongue language is Marathi and father from southern part of Kerala is Malayalam. But I feel comfortable speaking Marathi and English most of the time.
    3) My mother and relatives has influenced me to speak in their language as per religion in English and Marathi.
    4) Surroundings where do I stay my family and relatives, friends.
    5) Yes I had felt it when I had visited to Kerala with my family dad’s native place. But as I don’t know speaking Malayalam. I got confused what they are talking about.
    6) Yes many times happens my mother tongue is Marathi speaking with the English language with family and friends.
    7) Language defines the identity of the speaker personality which it describes background, caste or religion from which states he or she comes from. It can be through the experience with the social settings such as relatives and friends get to learn different language.

  4. 1) The scenario here about the language of Mumbai tells us that people here have their own bombaiya dialect which is a mix of 3-4 languages which people tend to speak or listen from their childhood from their neighborhood or at home.This is why it becomes difficult in schools to instill a standard way of speaking any one language.
    2) Most of the times other people from my family who stay in other cities say that i have a vert bombaiyaa way of speaking hindi and sometimes mix of 3-4 languages.
    3) I have been influenced mostly from the social region where i stay in Mumbai and neighborhood.And I've been influenced by my family for my mother tongue.
    4) The motives of this influence was to learn how to speak fluently and along with that how to read and write it as well
    5) Yes, sometimes i feel out of place when I'm around people who speak fluent marathi, because somewhere i lack that as i come from a gujarati background and it becomes difficult for me to speak fluent marathi but i can understand it very clearly.
    6) No I have never been commented on majorly on the way i speak. Very rarely people laugh on the way i speak marathi as it is my state language and majority are maharashtrians with whom we come across at workplace or at banks, administrative offices,etc
    7) Language not only expresses identities but also constructs them. For eg. If I'm talking to a person in my mother tongue, we make a bond easily and have a connection in common. Also if you go to banks or any other offices people speak marathi and if you too speak in marathi
    with them they will be more attentive you.

  5. 1. In the above passage,the children get to exposed to different languages since their childhood itself which comes in their habit and they start to learn them. This language may or may not be suitable for school purpose and if the language is not suitable then it turns up the challenge for a teacher to instill a new set of language in students habit. This challenge futher becomes problem for students itself for not able to speak up the language which is essential on work place or in a society.

  8. 1)According to the above text, the author wishes today that the social environment and language reinforcements have a considerable effect on the speech, grammar and dialect of individuals. This hinders their development as langauge of school erudites is different from the local ones. This hinders their opportunities of learning and understanding the context taught in schools. As a result it has an overall impact on their education and future employment perspectives. In India more than any other country Engkish is kept on a pedestal, a person who can speak English is considered profoundly superior to their other counterparts who cannot, however the knowledge of any individual is not restricted to his mere language capacities.
