reviewed Semantics, Culture, and Cognition: Universal Human Concepts in Culture-Specific Configurations on January 03, 2012 Semantics, Culture, and Cognition: Universal Human Concepts in Culture-Specific Configurations
Lots of intriguing arguments about why we should strive to preserve language diversity. In addition, it debunks the need for Official English in America by arguing that anyone who wants to prosper or wants their children to prosper will learn English as a matter of course regardless of outsider attempts to make them either adhere to their native language or force them into learning "proper" English. (I also hadn't considered the side-effect the Official English movement creates by marginalizing Amerindian languages.) As for the prescriptive language argument, it remains to be seen whether language constrains thought but nearly everyone can agree that language diversity increases the possibility for original thought and expression.
