Most people change their dialogue according to who they are communicating to. However most spoke language still contain errors that one would not find in properly written English. The writing language is an articulate thing as opposed to spoken language.
Through analyzing the above people’s speech, one can see that everyone is comfortable and friendly with one another. This depicts how one talks to another. Most, if in front of their boss, wouldn’t mock their own boss with “If yew even thin’ ‘bout gettin’ hurt yur fired. I worked a few of them jobs Yew fall yew were fired before yew hit tha ground Aa-ight na get up thur” like David said. I also noticed that instead pronouncing the words “you” and “your”, they they pronounced then with an “ew” …show more content…

I thought I was going to get here, make sure the floor was level, and then go to work. I was going to see about getting you to run to the house. I know I have a handheld jam saw, but I think the blades have been eaten. There’s a difference in the way one would write it and they way one would speak it.
The next thing to break down is the fact that Jason’s first piece of dialogue did not start off properly. He dove right in with “Was about to say there ain’t no work man’s comp ‘roun hur”, instead of using “I” at the beginning. Here he dropped the correct way it would have been written and assumed that Wayne and Dave knew that he meant “he was about to say…”. We could even go as far as to guess without hearing the recording, that these gentlemen are from the south with their slangs of “Outside Why not just pop out the screen of the winder” and “This’d werk better if we pu a body in it Ugh” that Dave

  • Adapt Communication With Children

    310 Words  | 1 Pages

    When we communicate with children and young people sometimes we have to adapt how we speak to them because of the age of the child or because of their learning abilities. Obviously the younger a child is the simpler we have to make things to ensure the child knows what is being said to them. But as a child grows and becomes confident in how they speak and communicate then also the language can grow as well. Never over complicate matters because this can make a child feel uneasy and not want to become involved in communicating with someone else.

    Individuals change the way in which they talk depending on who they are conversing with. For instance, teens will utilize exceptionally informal dialect when chatting with their associates, while they will utilize more endorsed dialect when speaking to grown-ups. An example of the sorts of things that informal dialect contains is the utilization of non-standard language structure. With the use of slang and non-standard sentence structure the speaker makes the dialect a great deal more loose and casual. Oppositely, by adopting a more standard language structure and using more complex vocabulary, they can present a formal pitch. The two transcripts given show numerous instances of the route in which teens take in order to adjust their language and suit the crowd.

    1015 Words  | 3 Pages

    By assuming that students will learn proper communication skills without guidance is a big mistake. Individuals should begin learning basic communication skills at birth and continue learning throughout their educational experience. There are, of course, many types of communication. We use verbal communication, non-verbal communication, written communication and many different forms of. Additionally, communication plays an important role in the process of conveying knowledge as well. Communication is instrumental in education since it helps the instructor and the students to work together with each other. Communication is the most important component of any society. In order, to communicate properly we need correct pronunciation, because pronunciation affects how we understand the meaning of the words. If the sound of a word is different it could lead the listener to believe that the word has a different meaning, and if this happens, it is very obvious that it is a form of improper communication. This may lead to a lot of misinterpretations. To avoid these kinds of problems we need to teach accurate pronunciation. English, in schools, is a very important subject for teaching proper...

  • Linguistic Perfection vs. Spoken Language Comprehension

    1508 Words  | 4 Pages

    For a learner, it often seems natural to seek perfection of the language (Bygate 2000:30). They may try to convey the message using a full sentence and complex constructions. The speech of lower level speakers isn’t filled with reduced forms such as contraction, elision, assimilation, and reduction. They may not use weak forms, linking, assimilation or intrusion and consider reduced forms as signs of lazy or careless English. Though appropriate in written language, and to a certain extent in short-turn formal speech, such language may sound too formal in everyday conversations, causing unfriendliness and hostility from the listener. Moreover, they are unable to understand natural spoken language.

  • The Internet and the Future of Language

    736 Words  | 2 Pages

    Unlike previous communication media, the internet is global, interactive and electronic. Such characteristics of the media have different influences in linguistic development. Moreover, the internet also redefines the relationship between the written and spoken aspects of language, according to Dr David Crystal, the internet language is called ‘written speech’ or ‘spoken writing’. In spoken language, there are two main differences between the internet language (aka Netspeak) and face-to-face conversation: firstly, in electronic situations of conversation there is a lack of simultaneous feedback and secondly, the rhythm of the interaction in electronic situations of conversation is slower than in conversational speech situations. Furthermore, in written language, while traditional writing is static and permanent, the internet writing can be revised and restructured if necessary. Nevertheless the fact that the Netspeak displays the graphic and visual aspects, it is safe to say that the Netspeak has both speech and writing properties (Crystal 47).

  • Differences Between Speaking And Writing English

    1647 Words  | 4 Pages

    The intention of this report is to highlight the differences between speaking and writing English in a variety of contexts. Whilst both are valuable forms of communication, the differences between them can be traced back to the origin of humanity. Speech is an inherent genetic capability that most humans are born with the possibility of producing, whilst, as Bright, 2015, explains, writing is a fairly recent invention in our evolutionary story that has rules to be followed (p.1, para. 2). The difference between these uses of language is not simply genetics, but how they are used comparatively in daily life within similar contexts. This can change depending on social status, culture and the relationship between those communicating. How the use of both speech and the written word changes according to need to be either formal or informal is called ‘register’. The contexts that will be explored in this text will be within the classroom and within the family home. The aim of this report is to emphasise that the meaning of words can be changed depending on the situation in which they are being used and by who, and how.
