Question

Question from "Sociolinguistics"

Answer 1

I would bet that your answer to this is yes! Most people switch and mix codes while using language. Do you speak differently, using different words or grammar rules, with your friends versus your family versus at school or work? Do you mix these styles of speaking in certain situations? That is what the question is asking you to describe in more detail. If you would like to run your examples by me and talk through your ideas please don't hesitate to reach out!
