Excerpt from Linguistic Oppression in the German EmpireMuch may be said, both for and against this. Cult of linguistic purity. A language which te fuses to borrow from other languages loses that ¿exibility, subtlety of expression and variety of shades of meaning, which an abundance of loan words enables a language that borrows such words freely to attain, but, on the other hand, linguistic purity conduces to a political result, as indeed it is largely based on a political motive - a conscious and vivid sense of national unity and national uniqueness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
