The movement to preserve local dialects is often viewed by linguists as a struggle against the homogenizing force of global media. While some argue that a universal language simplifies communication, the loss of a dialect is the loss of a unique worldview and cultural history. To let these dialects die is to allow a portion of human heritage to vanish forever.
Which one of the following most accurately describes the author's attitude toward the preservation of local dialects?
- Earnest championing of the cause, treating each dialect's survival as a matter of cultural urgency
- Wary disapproval of organized efforts to keep fading local dialects alive against the global tide
- Passive resignation to the seemingly inevitable disappearance of local dialects under global media now
- Practical worry centered on the financial cost of funding public dialect-preservation programs
- Qualified endorsement that ultimately concedes a single universal language is the better outcome
