My Family Has A Big Influence On The Language

Paul Roberts did a great job explaining how different parts of one’s life, known as communities, affects their language development and their language at a given time. Growing up in Pittsburgh, attending a performing arts high school, and currently working at job where I talk to many different people has changed my speech and has extended my vocabulary. Now I use more of my Pittsburgher language when I am at home or surrounded by friends from Pittsburgh as well. I rarely use my theater and dance jargon around fellow dancers and theater goers. Now with my current job I am learning new terminology for different careers. I know that I will be exposed to many more communities and my language will adjust to my new surroundings. Once a person is older they are more stubborn and stuck in their language mindset, but will continue to adjust their speech to fit in or they just get use to the new

Families will often share experience, knowledge as well as language, and it can often be misinterpreted by people from other families; word and phrases can mean one thing to one family but another thing to a different family as it could have a different meaning.

3. In paragraphs 10 through 13, Tan juxtaposes her mother’s English with her own. The point these quoted passages make is to show how different was her mother’s English from her English.

In her article, she mentions that Sociologists and linguists will probably tell that a person’s developing language skills are more influenced by peers (Amy Tan). However, Amy Tan thinks family condition is very foremost for a person’s spoken English. Most of the time, people always can not find the distinction when they get used to a thing. If people do one thing for a long time, they always think it perfectly normal. In addition, the language spoken by the family plays a large role in shaping a language of the child. Her mother’s English still limits people’s perception of her. Furthermore, her mother’s English almost had an effect on limiting her possibility as well.

People from different backgrounds may use and/or interpret communication methods in different ways because every family has their own way of communicating together. For example: some children might hear or speak more than one language at home or they could hear others swearing. This can affect children’s communication and how they communicate as adults.

Language is a very important and significant part of individuals’ life. It is considered as one of the best device of social behavior. Language is a means with the help of which people communicate and send a social message to one another. But language does have very special characteristics according to which it changes and very depending on many factors. According to the researchers there are no two people who speak identically. Their languages vary as per their geographic location, age, gender, ethnicity, social background etc. many a time, it is observed that even the members from same family speak differently due to differences in their location ( Biber & Conrad, 2014). For example, in my neighborhood, there is a difference in the ways of

Most questions of whether and how language shapes thought start with the simple observation that languages differ from one another. And a lot! Just look at the way people talk, they might say. Certainly, speakers of different languages must attend to strikingly different aspects of the world just so they can use their language properly.

Everyone is an individual but people from the same or similar backgrounds tend to communicate in the same ways. This is to do with shared culture, different experiences and family backgrounds. Therefore when communicating with people who have a similar background to you, you may assume that they will interpret what you are saying in the way you intended however you should not expect this to happen or use this as a method of course. The experiences of communication children have depend a lot on their home lives as experiences outside of the home environment and family circles at this age will be limited.

Communication is easy and mothers can talk with their children and they can connect with them. Some people who have this benefit are unaware that some families do not have this advantage in their homes. Lee Thomas and Linh Cao understand that some families have language change through each generation. Cao herself lived in house where her relatives used several different languages and learned first hand that there are many losses when a family doesn’t share a common language.

Most people think languages are different from one another. The languages origin, pronunciation and grammar. That in fact is not true. Many languages have similarly spelled and pronounced words that mean the same or similar thing. Most languages around the world use Latin and Greek words, for example in the medical field but not only. Being a bilingual student I think sharing origins of words can be very helpful in learning a new language.

How do both nature and nurture interact in the promotion of language development in young children?

Although I have my own idiolect, the way I speak constantly changes. This is because I try to adapt my spoken language to suit the situation I am in. There are many reasons for why I try to adapt my spoken language some of the main reasons being that I am fearful of the judgements and perceptions that others may make because of the way I speak also being afraid of exclusion or not being able to fit in and sometimes I feel pressurised into speaking in a certain way.

I would love to think that your family background and where come from should not predict how you communicate in life, but who you grew up with, who are your family and where you grew up definitely has a lot of influence of how you are going to communicate later in life

Language has gradually advanced over many millions of years. Slang has developed, and other cultures languages and quirks have made their way in, and it has become one. Language has a way of shaping our identities, and personal cultures. It brings us together, and sometimes it even makes us move apart.

Family means many things to different people, yet the word itself can bring about a host of emotions from anyone who hears the word uttered. As a child growing up in the 60s and 70s the family dynamic was defined by the people we grew up with were related to by blood, and extended to the many family members of the different generations that made up the family unit.
