IS A WHOLE BRITISHNESS POSSIBLE IN BRITAIN?

Öz

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.
