What is behind the name "Growing English"?

 This e-portfolio was created by Dheyse Medeiros, an undergraduate English student. First of all, the blog has evaluation and educational purposes, once it is going to be used for the discipline "History of English" of Universidade Federal de Campina Grande. 

Nothing of this blog is unplanned. For example, the title "Growing English" was chosen instead of "English analysis" or other simpler names once the languages are alive.  When something grows it grows from a seed (or embryo) that may never result in something identical, it tends to have its variations. Language works the same way: we have the roots, trunk, branches, leaves, and the fruits. However, when it comes to language, the trunk is the social culture, transporting and supporting, the dialects/languages are the branches with such a great variety, while the leaves, flowers and fruits represents the natural impulse to communicate, attracting us to understand each other and to create new ways of communication, but the roots are the history, collecting nutrients continuously, it never stops.

The position of the verb to grow has some explanation too: Who is making the English grow? We do it all the time.  It doesn't matter if we are native or second language speakers, we are always reproducing and recreating the way the language is being spoken/written. 

All of those pieces of information may be easily understood if you pay attention to the URL: thesiteisloadingthelanguageisgrowing. The site loads fast and so grows the language.
