Abstract

The goal I had in my mind throughout the creation of this writing was to \nrationalise and demostrate my argument that the ever increasing practice of \nintegrating slang words into the English language would cause significant corruption \nin the language and lead to the irreversible degradation of it and make others care \nabout this transmutation of their man tool of communication. To accomplish this \nmonumentous task, I first identified the most important aspect of English that was \ndegrading in quality due to this new, unexpected change in the language, namely \ngrammar, and then explained, in stark detail, how important a role said aspect plays \nas the very structure of the English language, backing up my reasoning with specific \nexamples. Secondly, I showed the impact of the oversimplified language that came to \nbe through the unrelenting use of slang words on the human mind and its way of \nthinking. And thirdly, I showed the future conseqquences of the integration of slang \nwords into the language as something to watch out for. \nThere was understandably a very small amount of written sources to that \ndiscuss this subject which simply goes on to show that the amount of people who \naware of how their language is irrversibly changing is far smaller that it should be. In \nfact, I could not find a hand written source to back up my arguments. As such, all of \nmy sources come from various corners of the internet where this subject is discussed \nat great lenght. My sources inclued both real life examples and rationalised \narguments showing the degradation of the language and impact of this degradation \non communication in English speaking countries. \nNow, that I am finished with my extended essay I am satisfied by the results \nand believe that I have managed to illustrate my argument to its fullest extent, \nsufficient to make others care about its significance.
