- W239175800 abstract "Public interest in language is strong, as evidenced by recent articles on spoken and written forms of contemporary English in major news magazines. The December 8, 1q75 issue of Newsweek contains several allegations, notably by Mario Pei, castigating linguists for causing the decline in writing ability in the United States. In this paper an attempt is made tm refute each of Mario Pei's accusations, citing the published vork of various structural and other linguists. It is suggested that the fault for his and the public's misunderstanding of what linguists actually believe about language is partly on both sides. The well-known CCCC paper referred to in the Newsweek article offers evidence that poorly understood linguistic information results in well-intentioned but misdirected policy shifts among educators. Linguists have a responsibility to make the results of their research available to society in terms which are accurate and clearly understandable. Their failure to do so has resulted in their being blamed for events not under their control. It is noted that there are some possible real causes for the writing problem mentioned in the Newsweek article, and the contributions linguists might make to the effort to find a solution are discussed.
