Language is not merely something that is spread out in space, as it
was——a series of reflections in individual minds of one and the same【S1】________
timeless picture. Language moves down time in a current of its own
making. It has a drift. If there were no breaking up for a language into【S2】________
dialects. and if each language continued a firm, self-contained unity, it【S3】________
would still be constantly moving away from any assignable norm,
developing new features unceasingly and gradually transforming it into a【S4】________
language so different from its starting point as to be in effect a new
language. Now dialects arise not because of the mere fact of individual
variation but because two or more groups of individuals have become
sufficiently disconnected to drift apart, or independently, instead of
together. So long as they keep strict together, no amount of individual【S5】________
variation would lead to the formation of dialects. In a practice, of【S6】________
course, no language can be spread over a vast territory and even over a【S7】________
considerable area without showing dialectic variations, for it is possible【S8】________
to keep a large population from segregating itself into local groups, the
language of each of which tends to drift independently. In cultural【S9】________
conditions such as apparently prevail today, conditions that fight
localism at every turn, the tendency to dialectic cleavage is being
constantly counteracted and in part “corrected” by the factors already
referred to. Yet even in so young a country like America the dialectic【S10】________
differences are not inconsiderable.
【S8】
选项
答案
possible—impossible
解析
语义错误。根据上下文可知,此处意为“阻止较多人口分裂成局部的族群是不可能的事”,因此应该使用impossible。
