Essay on Varieties of englishA writer can learn through other writers’ works. In the exercise, five passages written byseveral authors were to be observed. By reading the texts, the differences in the way the authorswrote the passage were highly noticeable. The way these authors wrote the texts exhibited thenonstandard and standard English, also known as the varieties of English. So, does knowingabout these varieties of English help a writer in his/her composition?In the first passage, grammatical errors were observed like the inconsistency on the verbtenses, subject verb agreement and improper use of punctuations especially the dash. The passage was in nonstandard English, mainly because of the words used by the author. She usedslang (an’, ‘em, yellin’, tellin’) and dialect (whup, git, tole, yeh). The word ‘it’ was always used,making the readers confused of what the subject really was. The passage was presented bynarrating a story in chronological order, but details are very vague that is why the ideas are notconveyed clearly. It can be inferred that the author, Eudora Welty, is a native who isunprofessional in English based on how she presented her work.The second passage is the almost the same with the first passage by the way it was presented. Grammatical errors were still present, faulty parallelism and subject verb agreement.Like in the last sentence, ‘you’s’ was used instead of ‘you’re’. The passage was in nonstandardEnglish since the author also used slang (ain’t, tellin’). The sentences lacked conjunctions, thatmade the ideas vague. Also, details were insufficient because the reader cannot even identifywho the speaker was talking to. The passage was conversational in tone and the speaker seemsvery angry arguing with someone. Eudora Welty also wrote this passage, another piece thatshows how she is not used into writing formal English. Unlike the first two passages, the sentences in the third passage did not include anygrammatical error. The passage is standard English, particularly formal, because of the use of extensive vocabulary. It included too many complex sentences without simple sentences to balance it out. Some sentences could have been compressed and some unnecessary descriptionscould have been omitted so that the passage would be easier to understand. There was sense of order in presenting the details. The author may be an educated writer, professional in English,who seems to have a strong background about the topic since he knew every detail of it.The fourth passage did not also contain grammatical errors. It was very informative. Thewords used were simple and brief, which enables average readers to easily understand it. Theauthor used scientific terms and well-defined statements to clearly present what he wanted toexplain. The first part discussed the general concepts of photosynthesis and the next parts wereabout the specific details. Rutherford Platt, the author, may be a scientist or botanist who presented the topic in a fun and interesting way as if his target readers were the average readers.The fifth passage also discussed photosynthesis but in a different approach. There werealso no grammatical. Mostly, the sentences were in compound form and in the active voice. Itwas very informative too, the topic was presented in a more scientific and formal way and thewords used were deeper. The details were expressed clearly by using descriptions and equationsso that the readers would understand more about it. By reading the passage, it can be inferredthat the authors were experts in science whose aim is to educate and to inform its readers.To sum it all up, the five passages showed the differences between the standard andnonstandard English. The grammatical construction, choice of words, the details and the way itwas presented also varied in every passage. By reading the texts, some characteristics of theauthors can already be inferred by how they write. Each of the levels can communicateeffectively for those people who are accustomed using it, also depending on the time, place,occasion, etc. And yes, knowing the varieties of English will surely help a writer in his owncomposition. When the concept is mastered already, the level of usage and when to use itappropriately can be easily determined.Job BoardAboutPressBlogPeoplePapersTermsPrivacyCopyright We're Hiring!
