Other institutions had taken the route of adding exhaustive, restrictive language to existing conduct codes or establishing daring, passionate policies (such as speech codes) that invited concern about academic freedom and free speech, the quintessential hallmarks of higher education.
The analysis revealed that the values expressed in the Carolinian’s Creed were identical to those expressed in the university’s published mission statement; it would have been hard to reject one without rejecting the other.
The Carolinian’s Creed is printed in virtually every university publication-admissions brochures, admissions applications, and exam booklets-and on framed or engraved prints of plaques in most offices and in every building.

 Tongue Tied
The Moravians taught the slaves to read and write their own language but because the missionaries did not learn the language properly, the version they taught the slaves to read and write was different from the version the slaves spoke.
An oral language, reduced to writing, becomes a written language, and develops many of the characteristics of the European languages from which the bourgeois intellectuals are trying to free themselves.
But, for a writer to choose to write in a narrow language, out of some misguided notion of authenticity, is the political equivalent of choosing to write in an arcane jargon like that of the discourse known as post-modernism.

 Linguistics Department Tuesday Seminar Series
Language acquisition is seen as an emotionally driven process relying upon an innately specified " interactional instinct." This genetically based tendency provides neural structures which entrain children acquiring their native language to the faces, voices, and body movements of conspecific caregivers.
It is essentially an innate attentional and motivational system which drives children to pay attention to the language interaction in their environment and to acquire that language by general learning mechanisms that subserve declarative and procedural knowledge.
Second language acquisition by older adolescents and adults no longer has recourse to this mechanism, and therefore, success in second language learning is extremely variable.

Gullah — a mix of old English and West African languages that dates back to the days of American slavery — is primarily a spoken, but official, language.
For the estimated 125,000 Gullah speakers in the United States, of which 7,000 to 10,000 speak no other language, the translation of the Bible into Gullah means they can now worship God in their native tongue.
And because Gullah is a spoken language with its own grammar, written translations are labor-intensive, says Sharpe.
