The evolution of language

• March 2017
Léa Marchl is an 11th grade student at the LFNY. She is fluent in four languages: French, English, German, and the official idiom of the LFNY, Frenglish. It seemed only natural, then, that she would be intrigued by linguistic intricacies. Her current English class and the ongoing national debate over the validity of terms like “radical islamic terrorism” or “fake news” have made her wonder about the evolution of language – why language is constantly changing and why we should embrace that transformation instead of fearing it.
