LANGUAGE IN SOCIAL CONTEXT Introduction A discussion of language in social context is focussed on a language acquisition and language learning, significance of language in a community, and relation of language and society.

- 5. AGE OF ADDRESSE People generally talk differently to children and to adult – though some adjusts their speech style or accomodate more than others. Many speakers also use a different style in addressing elderly people, often with features similar to those which characterise their speech to children – a simpler range of vocabulary and less complex grammar.
- 6. Social background of addressee This is strong support for the view that the addressee or audience is a very important influence on a speaker’s style. The most convincing evidence of all comes from the behaviour of the same newsreader on different stations. Where the stations share studios, a person may read the same news on the two different stations during the same day. In this situation newsreaders produce consistently different styles for each audience. The news is the same and the context is identical expect for one factor- the addressees.
- 7. Addressee as an influence on style The better you know someone, the more casual and relaxed the speech style you will use to them. People use considerably more standard forms to those they don’t know well, and more vernacular forms to their friends. The speaker’s relationship to the addressee is crucial in determining the appropriate style of speaking. Example : • Excuse me. Could I have a look at your photos too, Mrs.Hall? • C’mon Tony, gizzalook, gizzalook
- 8. Context, style and class • Formal context and social roles Although a powerful influence on choice of style, characteristic of addressee are not the only relevant factors. • Example : a law court is a formal setting where the social roles of participants override their personal relationship in determaining the appropriate linguistics forms. • People’s role in these formal context determine the appropriate speech forms.
- 9. The interaction of socialclass and style If a linguistics feature is found to accor frequently in the speech of people from lower social group, it will be in casual speech. In other words, the same linguistics feature often distinguishes between speakers socially(inter- speaker-variation), while within the speech of one person it distinguish different styles(intra-speaker-variation).
