My Family Speech Community Analysis
First draft of My Family’s Speech Community
We definitely all have experienced one or more speech community in life. I have encountered a lot growing up with separated parents, through school, work, just everywhere I encountered them. There are also many different ones. If someone can’t find them or notice them at first, just sit back and listen to the people around and then go somewhere else with different people and listen to them. Try and distinguish the differences in wording and dialect. Do they use different slangs? It is that easy to notice how people speak. Just go out and step into the world of speech communities. The one I’ll be talking about in this paper is, one specific side of my family, the household of dad’s brother’s side. First we will distinguish, who are these people? Where are they from? What do they and where they are from look like? The genders in the household? The races? The average age …show more content…
I have a family community where they speak country and have their slang that goes along with it. I have people all the time look at me and ask why I talk so funny? Or where am I from? And I don’t have that much of an accent that I notice by myself just talking. Since I grew up partially and have most of my roots from Hart County I have sort of adopted the accent and a bit of the slang. But I feel I can’t hear it as much as other people who speak heavily country and slang in their house every day. I grew up partially there because my parents were split. But if someone talks to me long enough and I’m in the middle of talking and I’m talking quick I will start to babble a little and then sometimes the next few words that come out sound as if I lived with these people my whole life. People or my friends will go what was that? And I would say that’s my country side coming
