Vocabulary
Read the text and choose the best word or phrase to fill in each gap in the text.
A language is a system of communication used within a particular social group. Inevitably, the emotions created by group loyalty get in the way of 1.___________judgements about language. When we think we are making such a judgement, we are often merely making a statement about our prejudices. It is highly instructive to examine these occasionally. I myself have very 2._________ prejudices about what I call Americanisms. I see red whenever I read a certain popular woman columnist in a certain popular daily paper. I wait with a kind of fascinated horror for her to use the locution “I guess”, as in “ I guess he really loves you after all” . I see in this form the essence of Americanisms, a 3.____________ to the British Way of Life. But this is obviously nonsense , and I know it. I know that “ I guess” is at least as old as Chaucer, pure British English, something sent over in the Mayflower. But, like most of us, I don’t really like submitting to reason; I much prefer blind prejudice. And so I stoutly 4.________ “ I guess” as an American importation and its use by a British writer as a betrayal of the traditions of my notional group. Such condemnation can seem virtuous, because patriotism-which means 5. _____________ to the national group – is a noble word. While virtue burns in the mind, adrenaline courses round the body and makes us feel good. Reason never has this exhilarating chemical effect. And so patriotic euphoria 6. ______________ our contempt of foreign languages and makes us unwilling learn them properly. Chinese is still regarded in the West as a huge joke- despite what T.S. Eliot calls its “great intellectual dignity” – and radio comedians can even raise a snigger by speaking mock-Chinese. Russian is , of course, nothing more than a deep vodka-rich rumble bristling with “vitch” and “ ski”. As for German- that an ugly language, aggressively guttural . We 7._____________ that it seems ugly because of two painful wars, that it is all a matter of association. Sometimes our automatic sneers at foreign languages are mitigated by 8. _____________memories- warm holidays abroad, trips to the opera. Italian can then seem beautiful, full of blue skies, vino, sexy tenors. Trippers to Paris , on the other land , furtively visiting the Follies Berger, project their own guilt on to the French language and see it as “naughty” even “ immoral”.
