Outline the differences between speaking and writing in English in a variety of contexts. Remember to consider the use of different varieties of English in each context.
Written and spoken language both belong to the semiotic system (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014). The inception of spoken language is through the acquisition of a vernacular; therefore initial vernacular variety has its roots in family. (Gee, Hayes & Elisabeth, 2014). The perspective of Nativist Theorist, Noam Chomsky created the term Language Acquisition Device to describe how the brain is designed to register and respond to language in a universal way, (Fellowes & Oakley, 2014) therefore allowing language development to take place without being taught (Emmitt, Komesaroff & Pollock, …show more content…
For example if a parent has made a request that is being refused the field maybe the incomplete task, the tenor is parent (superior) to child (insubordinate in this instance) and the mode will largely be affected by the style of parenting – authoritarian. The Register is now set to formal and the function is regulatory.

This is achieved through diminished idiolect and sociolect towards a formal dialect (Emmit, 2010) thus providing an ‘insider’ discourse that English speakers are privy to. (Green, 2006). A demonstration of restrictive code could be used as a point of convergence when a tourist using a heuristic function would like to further understand the cockney vernacular variety. This meaning sharing experience gives power to the taxi cab driver and an adoption/repetition of their tone, intonation and pragmatics would further immerse a tourist in learning about a
