Journal: Language and Situation
You will explore how language changes based on the situation. Imagine a situation in which one person is asking another person for a favor (identify one favor and utilize it for the entire assignment). Select three of the following situations:
• Grandchild talking to grandparent
• Two romantically involved people talking
• Employee talking to boss
• Student talking to professor
• Two siblings talking
• Two neighbors talking
• Parishioner talking to a pastor
• Parent talking to a child
• Two colleagues talking
For each situation that you select, write a dialogue between the two fictitious people; the dialogue should focus on one person requesting a favor from the other person.
Reflecting on your dialogues, answer the following questions:
1. How did the dialogues change?
2. Why did the dialogues change?
