Language is a social construct. It unites the individuals of a given community through a code that
...
is understood by those who use it, ranging from street slang to the prescribed usage of grammar by an elite. This program examines language in a historical context and as a political tool. Since the advent of the printing press and, most recently, the Internet, English has become the universal language, replacing French. This has in turn meant the loss of many languages. Today only 6,000 are still spoken, and it is estimated that by the end of the 21st century, 90 percent of these will have disappeared.

Spanglish, Chicano, Ebonics, and "Surfer Dude" before going to Seattle to consider the implications of voice-activation technology. Linguist Carmen Fought, Stanford University's Cliff Nass, screenwriters Amy Heckerling and Winnie Holtzman, and others speak their minds about Spanish in America, why teens create their own language, gay self-empowerment by redefining discriminatory terms, the oo-fronting sound shift, and whether technology will reinforce or weaken racial/regional stereotypes. The teaching of standard English without devaluing or denigrating cultural linguistic differences is addressed.

...
we live and communicate. This engaging and informative program compares the way a person might have communicated in 1960 to the way we communicate today by following a young writer on vacation then and now. In the 1960s, she uses postcards and letters to correspond with friends back home, while today it's text messages and emails. Audiences will gain an understanding of how vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, and spelling are affected by communication technologies and why these changes have occurred.
