THE CREATORS OF GRAMMAR 
No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing word 
sequences and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs and suffixes, we are able to communicate 
tiny variations in meaning. We can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has 
taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey subtle 
differences in meaning. Nor is this complexity inherent to the English language. All languages, 
even those of so-called 'primitive' tribes have clever grammatical components. The Cherokee 
pronoun system, for example, can distinguish between 'you and I', 'several other people and I' 
and 'you, another person and I'. In English, all these meanings are summed up in the one, crude 
pronoun 'we'. Grammar is universal and plays a part in every language, no matter how 
widespread it is. So the question which has baffled many linguists is - who created grammar? 
At first, it would appear that this question is impossible to answer. To find out how grammar is 
created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language's creation, documenting its 
emergence. Many historical linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to 
earlier languages, but in order to answer the question of how complex languages are actually 
formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. Amazingly, 
however, this is possible. 
Some of the most recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. At that time, slaves 
from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under colonizer's rule. 
Since they had no opportunity to learn each other's languages, they developed a make-shift 
language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the 
landowner. They have little in the way of grammar, and in many cases it is difficult for a 
listener to deduce when an event happened, and who did what to whom. Speakers need to use 
circumlocution in order to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes 
for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the 
time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children did not simply copy the strings of 
words uttered by their elders, they adapted their words to create a new, expressive language. 
Complex grammar systems which emerge from pidgins are termed creoles, and they are 
invented by children. 
Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are 
not simply a series of gestures; they utilise the same grammatical machinery that is found in 
spoken languages. Moreover, there are many different languages used worldwide. The creation 
of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, all deaf people 
were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a new government introduced schools for the deaf. 
CODE: LHNH01 - ĐỀ SỐ 01 - Page | 4 
Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the classroom, in the playgrounds 
they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures that they used at home. It was 
basically a pidgin. Each child used the signs differently, and there was no consistent grammar. 
However, children who joined the school later, when this inventive sign system was already 
around, developed a quite different sign language. Although it was based on the signs of the 
older children, the younger children's language was more fluid and compact, and it utilised a 
large range of grammatical devices to clarify meaning. What is more, all the children used the 
signs in the same way. A new creole was born. 
Some linguists believe that many of the world's most established languages were creoles at first. 
The English past tense –ed ending may have evolved from the verb 'do'. 'It ended' may once 
have been 'It end-did'. Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread languages 
were partly created by children. Children appear to have innate grammatical machinery in 
their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make sense of the world around 
them. Their minds can serve to create logical, complex structures, even when there is no 
grammar present for them to copy.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate 
the correct answer to each of the questions 
For over 300 yean since its appearance in Britain in 1621, newspapers were written and 
read by only a tiny minority. In 1896, a new newspaper was produced in large numbers 
and at such low prices that ordinary people could buy it on every street corner, and it 
was an instant success. The Daily Mail, which is still running today, was the mother of the 
modern tabloid. and the beginning of a whole new subculture in the British press. Today 
more than twice as many tabloids are sold than the so-called 'quality press' titles such as 
The Times or The Guardian. 
 Originally, the word tabloid referred to the size and format. But today, for most people, 
the word tabloid has nothing to do with shape and size. What makes a tabloid a tabloid is 
content, and above all, style. Tabloids follow a special formula; they report the news, but 
only certain kinds. Tabloids dedicate most of their pages to stories about celebrities. This 
involves photographing them in embarrassing situations, gossiping about their private 
lives and generally making them look a bit silly. However, the tabloids are not simply an 
irritation for celebrities; they are also a vehicle for self-promotion. 
 Though they have millions of devoted readers, tabloids are also widely criticised in 
Britain. They are accused of being sensationalist, in bad taste, and of having no ethical 
standards in their reporting and ‘researching’ methods. They may tap celebrities’ phones 
or even break into their houses just to get a story. When criticised, the tabloids state that 
the public has a right to know about everything, but celebrities have no rights to privacy 
at all. 
 So why does Britain, which has access to the best press agencies and the highest 
journalistic standards, consume tabloids like chocolate? Maybe the reason is that we have 
enough news on the television, the radio and in the quality newspapers. Tabloids are not 
actually about news at all. Tabloids are just about gossip. And when it comes to gossip, 
what matters is not what is true or what is kind, but what is entertaining and what is 
funny. The more in bad taste a story is, the funnier it seems. And bad taste is what the 
British tabloids have made into an art.
