English to French translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. | | English term or phrase: capsule for a worldview | For one thing, speakers of English as a foreign language, or “offshore English,” have often superimposed the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of English onto their native language.
In many cases, English words may be used in an entirely different context.
For example, in continental Europe, the word benefits is often used for profit and the word cost for expenses, and Germans know their mobile phone as a “handy.”
The filtering of English through the native language entails more than the use of different words:
The native language thus modified remains the capsule for a worldview and the source and vehicle for humor and the expression of attitude, disposition, and emotion. |
