El prestigi: una qüestió subjectiva

El prestigi és una qüestió subjectiva que no afecta les llengües sinó els parlants. En una segona fase de la substitució lingüística, la competència que els joves demostren en la llengua dominant contrasta amb els dubtes i les vacil·lacions amb què s'enfronten quan utilitzen la llengua recessiva.

Are women discriminated? People think that women are more discriminated than men and I agree.. Firstly men and women haven't got the same tastes at home.Women have to do the housework while men wash the car but they don't clean the house.
