Essay / Research Paper Abstract
9 pages in length. When one hears the word 'prejudice,' the image that immediately comes to mind is that of a racial nature; however, there are myriad other forms of stereotypical attitudes that serve to drive the wedge of intolerance, as well. Language, while not always at an obvious factor, represents one of the most socially dividing of all prejudices, inasmuch as the fundamental essence of verbal communication is steeped with lingual inferences specific to that particular language. When foreigners attempt to learn English, for example, these vernacular nuances all-too-often reflect a bias that can readily be detected in popular culture, such as political singer/songwriters Bob Dylan and Wolf Biermann. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
