IS A WHOLE BRITISHNESS POSSIBLE IN BRITAIN?

Year 2019, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 67 - 74, 30.04.2019

Abstract

The
aim of this study is to reveal whether a whole Britishness is possible in an island
like Britain who has lots of diversities. This paper explains the reasons of
why a whole Britishness is not possible. It offers three reasons for this
impossibility. The first one is reflected as Multi-nationality as there are
Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland beside England. The second one is
reflected as Multi-ethnic minorities as there are migrants from other countries
like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh and the last one is reflected as multilingualism
as there is seen different kinds of languages as well as different kinds of accents
and dialects.

Abstract

Bu
çalışmanın amacı birçok çeşitliliğe sahip olan Britanya gibi bir adada tam bir
İngilizliliğin mümkün olup olmadığını ortaya çıkartmaktır. Bu çalışma
İngilizliliğin neden mümkün olmadığının sebeplerini açıklamaktadır. Bu
imkansızlık için üç sebep sunmaktadır. Ilk sebep İngilterenin yanında, İskoçya,
Galler, ve Kuzey İrlanda olduğu için çok ulusluluk olarak gösterilmektedir. İkinci
sebep Pakistan, Hindistan ve Bangledeş gibi ülkelerden göçmenler aldığı için
çoklu etnik azınlıklar olarak gösterilmektedir ve son sebep olarakta  birçok çeşit dil, aksan ve lehçe
barındırdığından çok dillilik gösterilmektedir.
