Language Concepts and Ideologies

Additionally, nations having one particular official language often makes it mandatory for immigrants coming into the country to either on temporary or permanent basis to have a fluency in the official language of that nation before they can be granted citizenship. .
             The intersection of language and politics can also very evident in schools, where languages considered minority have either been promoted or banned as political systems try to either sought to ban or promote these minority languages in view of promoting nationality or strengthening identification with one's cultural background. A vivid example of a nation that has sought to encourage the use of minority language is Leonese and Welsh government through their city councils. Lastly, these intersections have also been witnessed by way of political correctness where some individuals mainly women have shown strong objection to the use of some language words such as chairman. This is by virtue of the fact that it implies a man should always be the head or in charge. .
             Intersection Between Language and Socio-Economic Class.
             Socio-Economic Status (SES) of a person is the measure of the total economy and sociology ofa family's in relation to that of the others. Moreover, it refers to peoples' social or economic position in relation to those of other individuals on the basis of education, occupation and education (Lado, 2009). As further observed by this author, an individual's socio-economic class be divided into three broad categories; high, low and middle SES. The language or linguistic environment of high and low SES children vary significantly thus affecting various aspects of literacy and syntax and semantics development. .
             Firstly, semantics that is defined by Linguistic Society of America (2007) as the meaning of phrases and words is highly affected by SES. For instance, by as a result of efficient familiar words processing, children aged as low as 2 years who fall under high SES tend to have superior expressive vocabularies than their counterparts who fall under low SES.
