Language and Cultural Context

Language changes? All people who speaks English speaks with same words, accent, intonation? Do you have the same 'key words' or 'codes' that a person from the South or North of Chile?...


Yes! Language is constantly changing because the different cultural contexts. English, isn't speak always the same way. English change depending the social and cultural context, for example a judge doesn´t speaks like a person from the ghetto, or and Indian person who speaks English, because, the use of words, the intonation, accent are different. That is the Language Variation, which I will refer in more detail in my next entry. Key words are also very important in language, for example, as I wrote in my last entry, the Legal language, language in sports and Medical language.
