영어의 절약성에 관한 연구

Abstract

When we want to communicate with one another, we are apt to use economical forms in language. In other words, we like economical forms in spellings and pronunciations, for it is broadly true that 'Economy of Speech' is human instinct. As a child he learns English, but he prefers economical pronunciations to extravagant ones. It is even easier for him to make an economical pronunciation in his organs of speech. So it is natural that he often makes such economical errors in learning English. As a child makes such an economical error in learning English, so many Black Americans do in speaking English. But child English and Black English are different from each other in economical English. Many ecnomical expressions in Black English prevails in American folk songs, poetry, hymns and pop musics. Children learn English better and better through their phonological errors, therefore the more errors they make, the more progresses they do. There is no shame in English learners' errors, for they can be fluent speakers through such errors as phonological ones. In English there are some economical expressions, and economical or extravagant expression depends on what we select. Therefore, incessant training we always need, for training is the only choice and language is beautiful.
