the Californian Dialect

Why would a new dialect emerge more quickly in California? my answer to this is that California is a large state were many different ethnicity mix there for.......it will spreed faster also California is a state were a lot of events take place and were the rest of the country looks upped on, like new york. with the reading we had i can connect with it a lot because i am a bilingual and like in the study they did i also speak Spanglish a lot especially at home and with close friend in my same situation.

  1. I believe that they have a lot of ethnicity there but I also believe that a lot of Americans have lived in California at one point in there life or have at least visited there. Also, Hollywood has a lot to do with it because it is portrayed through all of the movie stars and interviews so it has become more prevelant in the way everyone is speaking.

  2. I agree with your idea that language evolves a lot in California because of the different ethnicities that live there. Cultures blend together and new languages and words are created or given new meaning, wihch can't happen in other states where the population is less diverse.
