Language is constantly changing. ... The various roles of language in every culture are both universal and specific. Universal roles of language pertain cross-culturally while the specific roles of a particular language can only be fully and truly understood by those who understand that language through its culture and likewise understand that culture through its language. One of the most highly-debated issues of current linguistic anthropology concerns the standardization of language. Many people feel that acquiring one standard, universal language, a monoglot, would significantly contribute towards unifying the world. Though language can create a sense of unity among individual cultures, a worldwide monoglot culture would inevitabley be biased, limiting cultural diversity and obscuring a true view of much of the relevant ideology of different cultures existent throughout the world.
