Exploring English Language Variations and Ideologies

During the early years, English seemed like a language that was only necessary for terms of ensuring and giving the ability to simply communicate with others. There was little application of formality and since the language was spoken from early years, it seemed unnecessary to master intricacies such as the use of verbs and nouns that structure the language. Lombardi (2008) and Smiljanic and Bradlow (2008) state that, for native speakers, the difficulty is in understanding that there is a formal style to any language which they have to learn and master through education and training, despite speaking and making use of the language for many years.
