Discussion #4

In the chapter " How To Tame A Wild Tongue" by Gloria Anzaldua she  discusses the cultural and gendered impacts of the language itself. From an early age girls are taught not to talk too much, not to talk back and not to ask questions. In Mexico the female plural is excluded from the language, leaving women fall under the masculine plural. Here are examples of women’s exclusion from the language.The chapter then discusses some of the examples on how the language changed and evolved. An infusion of different Spanish, Native American, and English sounds and words were combined to develop into this Chicano Spanish. This Chicano is a hybrid of Spanish and English. It is similar to a form of Arabic dialect we have which sort of create Arabic words through English letter pronunciation. This is valid in many other languages as well which comes to show how language is evolving.
