Amy tan's mother's language variety played a significant role in shaping tan's identity. which excerpt from her reflective essay "mother tongue" shows her admiration and appreciation of her mother's broken english? [1]and sure enough, the following week, there we were in front of this astonished stockbroker, and i was sitting there red-faced and quiet, and my mother, the real mrs. tan, was shouting at his boss in her impeccable broken english. [2]sociologists and linguists probably will tell you that a person's developing language skills are more influenced by peers than by family. but i do think that the language spoken in the family, especially in immigrant families which are more insular, plays a large role in shaping the language of the child. [3]lately, i've been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as "broken" or "fractured" english. [4]i began to write stories using all the englishes i grew up with: the english i spoke to my mother, which for lack of a better term might be described as "simple”. . i wanted to capture what language ability tests can never reveal: her intent, her passion, her imagery, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
