I am an Indian, very brown, born in
Malabar, I speak three languages, write in
Two dream in one. Don’t write in English, they said,
English is not your mother-tongue. Why not leave
Me alone, critics, friends, visiting cousins,
Everyone of you? Why not let me speak in
Any language I like? The language I speak
Becomes mine, its distortions, its queernesses,
All mine, mine alone. It is half English, half
Indian, funny perhaps, but it is honest,
It is as human as I am human, don’t
You see? It voices my joys, my longings, my
Hopes, and it is useful to me . . .

(Kamala Das, 1997: 10)

Kamala Das captures the paradox of English in the world today. To some, English anywhere outside the mother tongue context is an alien language, perhaps even an imposed language. From this standpoint, English has a fixed identity, both political and linguistic. It represents something peculiarly English, or perhaps Anglo-American, but at all events certainly Western. English has become a world language because – and to the extent that – Anglo-American, Western culture has become hegemonic in the world. To others English, although not their mother tongue, is nevertheless their language, an expression of their own unique identity. It is theirs because they have made it so – through their lived experiences in the language that have gained expression in the way they use English. In this view, English has become a world language to the extent that it has been stripped of any simplistic association with Anglo American and Western culture. World English has emerged because its users have changed the language as they have spread it. Of the many English writers from Africa and Asia who have addressed this topic, perhaps none has expressed the point so eloquently as Chinua Achebe:

What I . . . see is a new voice coming out of Africa, speaking of African experience in a world-wide language. . . . The price a world language must be prepared to pay is submission to many different kinds of use. . . . The African writer should aim to use English in a way that brings out his message best without altering the language to the extent that its value as a medium of international exchange will be lost. . . . He should aim at fashioning out an English which

is at once universal and able to carry his peculiar experience . . . I feel that the English language will be able to carry the weight of my African experience. But it will have to be a new English, still in full communion with its ancestral home but altered to suit its new African surroundings. (1994: 433–4)

In “(…) I feel that the English language will be able to carry the weight of my African experience. But it will have to be a new English (…)”, the word but implies:

Segundo Borges-Andrade, Abbad e Mourão (2006), o mundo do trabalho está em constante transformação. Avanços tecnológicos, meios diversificados de comunicação, novas formas de gestão, reestruturação produtiva, entre outros assuntos emergem nas organizações de trabalho. Para dar conta dos diferentes aspectos mencionados as organizações investem cada vez mais em diferentes ações de Treinamento, Desenvolvimento e Educação (TD&E). Analise as afirmações a seguir sobre TD&E e assinale a única afirmativa INCORRETA:

O conhecimento de como e quando uma edificação é usada é um ponto crítico na determinação das exigências de aquecimento e de refrigeração da mesma. Neste contexto é correto afirmar que:

1) In England, however, the tungsten-tipped spikes would tear the thin tarmac surfaces of our roads to pieces as soon as the protective layer of snow or ice melted.

2) Road maintenance crews try to reduce the danger of skidding by scattering sand upon the road surfaces.

3) We therefore have to settle for the method described above as the lesser of two evils.

4) Their spikes grip the icy surfaces and enable the motorist to corner safely where non-spiked tyres would be disastrous.

5) Its main drawback is that if there are fresh snowfalls the whole process has to be preheated, and if the snowfalls continue, it becomes increasingly ineffective in providing some kind of grip for tyres.

6) These tyres prevent most skidding and are effective in the extreme weather conditions as long as the roads are regularly cleared of loose snow.

7) Such a measure is generally adequate for our very brief snowfalls.

8) Whenever there is snow in England, some of the country roads may have black ice.

9) In Norway, where there may be snow and ice for nearly seven months of the year, the law requires that all cars be fitted with special steel spiked tyres.

10) Motorists coming suddenly upon stretches of black ice may find themselves skidding off the road.
