I have just posted a new cartoons on our cartoons page. It's from the cartoon series "Frazz" which involves a young boy who is asked to use the word "sprain" in a sentence by his teacher. This is more of a sociolinguistic cartoon than a "purely" language policy cartoon, but linguistic usage is of course a kind of language policy. Frazz uses the word in a way he claims is "how they talk in the Bronx" which is of course attributing non-standard linguistic behavior to the residents of one of New York's five boroughs. Usually popular conceptions would attribute this to Brooklyn, since "Brooklynese" is the popular conception of what non-standard New York English (NSNYE) sounds like.<BR>
<BR>
By the way, I notice that each time that I update the cartoons page, I get absolutely NO REACTION from our membership. Is this something people really don't care about? To me it's a humorous but ongoing language policy issue.<BR>

To access the cartoons page, go to our website, click on "resources" and scroll down to "images".<BR>
