THE CREATORS OF GRAMMAR

No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex By changing word sequences and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs and suffixes, we are able to communicate tiny variations in meaning We can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey subtle differences in meaning Nor is this complexity inherent to the English language All languages, even those of so-called 'primitive' tribes have clever grammatical components The Cherokee pronoun system, for example, can distinguish between 'you and I', 'several other people and I' and 'you, another person and I' In English, all these meanings are summed up in the one, crude

pronoun 'we' Grammar is universal and plays a part in every language, no matter how widespread it is So the question which has baffled many linguists is - who created grammar?

At first, it would appear that this question is impossible to answer To find out how grammar is created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language's creation, documenting its emergence Many historical linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to earlier languages, but in order to answer the question of how complex languages are actually

formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch Amazingly,

however, this is possible

Some of the most recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade At that time, slaves from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under colonizer's rule

Since they had no opportunity to learn each other's languages, they developed a make-shift

language called a pidgin Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowner They have little in the way of grammar, and in many cases it is difficult for a listener to deduce when an event happened, and who did what to whom Speakers need to use circumlocution in order to make their meaning understood Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue Slave children did not simply copy the strings of words uttered by their elders, they adapted their words to create a new, expressive language Complex grammar systems which emerge from pidgins are termed creoles, and they are invented by children

Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf Sign languages are not simply a series of gestures; they utilise the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages Moreover, there are many different languages used worldwide The creation

of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua Previously, all deaf people were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a new government introduced schools for the deaf

Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the classroom, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures that they used at home It was basically a pidgin Each child used the signs differently, and there was no consistent grammar However, children who joined the school later, when this inventive sign system was already around, developed a quite different sign language Although it was based on the signs of the older children, the younger children's language was more fluid and compact, and it utilised a large range of grammatical devices to clarify meaning What is more, all the children used the signs in the same way A new creole was born

Some linguists believe that many of the world's most established languages were creoles at first The English past tense –ed ending may have evolved from the verb 'do' 'It ended' may once have been 'It end-did' Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread languages were partly created by children Children appear to have innate grammatical machinery in their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make sense of the world around them Their minds can serve to create logical, complex structures, even when there is no

grammar present for them to copy

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

For over 300 yean since its appearance in Britain in 1621, newspapers were written and read by only a tiny minority In 1896, a new newspaper was produced in large numbers and at such low prices that ordinary people could buy it on every street corner, and it

was an instant success The Daily Mail, which is still running today, was the mother of the

modern tabloid and the beginning of a whole new subculture in the British press Today more than twice as many tabloids are sold than the so-called 'quality press' titles such as

The Times or The Guardian

Originally, the word tabloid referred to the size and format But today, for most people, the word tabloid has nothing to do with shape and size What makes a tabloid a tabloid is

content, and above all, style Tabloids follow a special formula; they report the news, but

only certain kinds Tabloids dedicate most of their pages to stories about celebrities This involves photographing them in embarrassing situations, gossiping about their private lives and generally making them look a bit silly However, the tabloids are not simply an

irritation for celebrities; they are also a vehicle for self-promotion

Though they have millions of devoted readers, tabloids are also widely criticised in Britain They are accused of being sensationalist, in bad taste, and of having no ethical

standards in their reporting and ‘researching’ methods They may tap celebrities’ phones

or even break into their houses just to get a story When criticised, the tabloids state that the public has a right to know about everything, but celebrities have no rights to privacy

at all

So why does Britain, which has access to the best press agencies and the highest journalistic standards, consume tabloids like chocolate? Maybe the reason is that we have enough news on the television, the radio and in the quality newspapers Tabloids are not actually about news at all Tabloids are just about gossip And when it comes to gossip, what matters is not what is true or what is kind, but what is entertaining and what is funny The more in bad taste a story is, the funnier it seems And bad taste is what the British tabloids have made into an art

(Adapted from Oxford Exam Excellence‛ by Dannula Gryca et al.)
