- Abstract
- This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in the first-year Writing and Rhetoric classes, Integrated Learning Environments, and Thinking Matters programs. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style. Through exploring the role of Singlish in linguistic resistance in the present-day post-colonial Singapore, Ethan A. Chi asserts that erasing language diversity is equivalent to erasing the cultures they embody.
