In class on Thursday someone said that as a language gets older the more that it shortens and consolidates. I'm reading Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee for another class and the following passage struck me:
He would not mind hearing Petrus's story one
day. But preferably not reduced to English. More
and more he is convinced that English is an unfit
medium for the truth of South Africa. Stretches
of English code whole sentences long have
thickened, lost their articulations, their
articulateness, their articulatedness. Like a
dinosaur expiring and settling in the mud, the
language has stiffened. Pressed into the mould of
English, Petrus's story would come out arthritic,
bygone. (117)
