Japanese Language in Decline?
Is Japanese declining in “the age of English“? I’m skeptical. People have been complaining about linguistic decay since the beginning to time.
While the intellectual quality of books in libraries, articles on the net and everything written in Japanese is becoming worse and worse, productions in English in contrast would appear to be becoming richer and richer, full of intellectual energy and vitality.
A few minutes of American television ought to disabuse anyone of the notion that English is “full of intellectual energy and vitality.”
