Alphonse Daudet's 'The Last Lesson' very prominently raises the question of linguistic and cultural hegemony of the colonial and imperial powers and their lust for controlling the world and influencing their cultures and identities.
The Last Lesson raises the burning question very innocently through the words of little Franz that "Will they make them sing in German, even the pigeons?" This raises the question of immorality of imposing imperial languages and cultures on the colonies. The child questions that when even the birds and animals can't be forced to abandon their language and speak others then what forces the man to think that it would be prudent force other human beings to forcibly accept any language other than theirs.
The language of a country is not only a medium of communication for the people but also the link for identity, once the native language is snatched away from the people. It's not only the loss of convenient communicating medium but also the loss of identity for people for what they have been and what they might become.
When a small child like Franz can think of the irrationality behind snatching away the right of language and identity from people then why can't the war lords and colonizers understand the fact?The French diminutive, which is a form of word modification to indicate smallness or endearment, holds significance in both language and culture. It can convey nuances of intimacy, affection, or informality in communication. In French culture, the use of diminutives can reflect social dynamics, emotions, and attitudes towards the subject being discussed.
In language, a case is a grammatical category that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. Cases impact the structure and meaning of sentences by indicating the role of a noun or pronoun (such as subject, object, or possessive) and how it relates to the rest of the sentence.
Filipino subject is part of the school curriculum in the Philippines. This is where the students would learn all about the Filipino language (the Philippines national language). In this subject, they will study about how to speak and write the Filipino language well. Good grammar, correct sentence formation, correct pronunciation, vocabulary words, etc. would be part of their lessons.
