SIGN LANGUAGE (PIDGIN)
BLACK AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE: Up to the 19th century the population of
Afro-American origin was using a species of Creole language. But with the
disappearance of the slavery and the consequent education of the population
in English, it has been joining to the general norm of the spoken language,
though in the not educated circles still there exist marked lexical and even
syntactic differences. Good example of it is the form of the past that uses the
participle been as auxiliary before the participle of the verb that conjugates:
she been said that (`ha dicho que'). Of any form this group of population is
responsible for the introduction of the whole vocabulary, especially urban, in
the national norm, the universal example can be the word O.K., that
apparently has an African origin, as well as many specific terms of the lexicon
of jazz.
HAWAII PIDGIN SIGN LANGUAGE: During the 19th century the Hawaiian suffered
a strong decrease of his population because of the diseases newly introduced
by immigrants; apart from the death of his speakers, in 1885 there was
promulgated a norm of education that was establishing that the instruction
would give only in English. The island Ni Ihau his inhabitants have been kept
isolated and use almost exclusively his local version of Hawaiian. Some of them
think that the principal reason is the abandon on the part of his native
speakers, say that many of them stimulated in his children the learning of the
English and even they stopped speaking in Hawaiian in order that the children
were not learning it. Meanwhile, others insist that it owed to facts foreign to the
speakers, because the government made the language illegal in the schools it
was a factor that discouraged his use.
THE GOVERNMENT SYSTEM:

states. The executive branch consists of the President who is also the head of
government and chief of state. The U.S. also has a judicial branch of
government that is made up of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, U.S
District Courts and State Courts. The election of the President and the Vice
President of the U.S. is an indirect vote in which people choose two electors

for each state. Then the electors select the president and the vice president of
the country. In order to win the election, the president should obtain 270 votes.
Presidential elections occur every four years. Generally, this takes place the
Tuesday between November 2 and 8, coinciding with the general election of
various other federal, states and local races. The most recent was the 2012
election, held on November 6 in which Barack Obama was elected president
again and he obtained 274 votes.
