Linguistic Identity of First-and-Second Generation in the Midwest and the Loss of Their Mother Tongue
During the past 30 years, the number of Spanish speakers in the U.S. have grown more than 37.6 million. However, despite the growth of Spanish speakers and the opportunities that being bilingual can give to Latinos, many Latinos are losing their native language to the second or third generation. I argue that because of the negative experiences from speaking Spanish during childhood, in addition to the negative perceptions toward Latinos by the dominant culture, many Latinos unconsciously decide to change their native language to English in an attempt to assimilate into the American culture. The loss of language among Latinos will be explored through the use of language and cultural theories, which will help to explain some of the causes that affect the loss of language among Latinos in the United States. Durante los últimos 30 años, el número de personas que hablan español en los EE.UU. han crecido más de 37,6 millones. Sin embargo, a pesar del crecimiento de los hispanohablantes y las oportunidades que el ser bilingüe puede dar a los latinos, muchos hispanos están perdiendo su lengua materna para la segunda o tercera generación. Yo argumento que debido a las experiencias negativas provenientes de hablar español durante la infancia, además de las percepciones negativas hacia los latinos por parte de la cultura dominante, muchos latinos inconscientemente deciden cambiar su lenguaje materno por el inglés, en un intento de asimilarse a la cultura americana. La pérdida del lenguaje será explorado por medio del uso de teorías lingüísticas y culturales, las cuales ayudarán a explicar algunas de las causas que afectan la pérdida del lenguaje entre los latinos en los Estados Unidos.
