Languages Mixture Problem within European Countries

Abstract

The author highlights external social factors that have huge influence in language development and that there is some innate capability common to all human beings related to language acquisition and development. A particular case which shows the relationship between these two aspects is the study of surzhyk, Kiezdeutsch pidgins and creoles. The article's content combines such notions as mixed languages, pidgins, creole languages, surzhyk, Kiezdeutsch under one common name of a mixed language which is studied from a psycholinguisitc popint of view. According to the author's approaches a mixed language is a mixture of different means of communication belonging to different language systems which form in the brain of a human being due to relevant multilanguage environment. Moreover, the very fact of their natural existence in the brain is more important than that of their mere usage in the real communication. This paper looks at the origins of surzhyk, Kiezdeutsch pidgins and creoles and explores some of the reasons for their lack of use in formal education. It goes on to discuss how speakers of surzhyk, Kiezdeutsch pidgins and creoles more commonly acquire literacy in the standard European languages within European countries. The author concludes that the nature of some inconsistencies does not affect the system of any language as a whole, which makes it possible to consider dialects and varieties of the language as language variants, and not two different languages.
