Subwolfer Studios Equation

Superior Essays
A group I belong to would be Subwolfer Studios. Subwolfer Studios is a small video game company that I am attempting to put together in order to program video games for the cell phones and perhaps other platforms. Although I founded the group, each member of the group has their own roles and we each have to fulfil our own roles in order to make the company succeed. Although, we are in the very basic steps of formulating the company at this point, al we really have fully accomplished is a name, we have met enough times that I can clearly define each person’s role and attitude within the group. To start out, not only am I the founder of Subwolfer Studios, but I’m also the lead programmer. Being that there are currently only 2 programmers it’s more of a title than anything, but it does mean that in the event of a conflict between programing …show more content…
This can be intentional or unintentional by either the speaker someone else. An example of an intentional use of this to change the conversation would be when someone attempts to change the conversation by pointing something out “Where did that dog come from? “ or “Hey I think I see a friend over there” or virtually anything that shifts the conversation away from what it was. On the other side, when the conversation shifts unintentionally due to environment. “What was that!?” someone might say in the middle of a conversation when something surprises them. Segues are the other time when a conversation moves from one topic to another, although this is an intentional shifts of the conversation and normally built into the conversation by the speaker. An example of this would be if a conversation was talking about a dog and the speaker said “Speaking of dogs, my dog is going to the vet for his shots tomorrow.” The conversation wasn’t about the speakers dog, but it shifted to that as a result of the segue the speaker

    According to my personal experiences and past conversations I’ve come across many moments that make me agree with Tannen and her ideas. One, for example, was when person A told person B “ I am going on a hike” , Person B says “ wow ok thanks for inviting me “. This causes an argument between both people because person A simply said he was going on a hike person B assumes she was not invited because person A used the phrase “I”. Person B thinks that there is a metamessage in the conversation when she simply could’ve just asked to come along. This can create an argument because the two speakers aren't operating on the same level of talk as Tannen points out, one speaker was making more of a statement but also making the invitation for the other…

    Graves (2012) says, I would ask the client in privacy of they are alright, and determine if there is a problem with me and the client, or is it the client, or something between the client and another client. If it is that they have been in the group several times and they are silent, they need to be challenged as to why they are not participating and while they are in the group, especially if I have already asked in private why they are not participating and there is not excuse to fit their silence. If the group is silent, why, and if my grade depends on their participation and then that’s a problem. I will do my best to be the best group facilitator and utilize the skills I know, and ask open-ended question to allow the client to choose to…

    The choice of words, syntax and pronunciation; within this conversation are not formal using terms like “man” seen in line 5; “kinda,” “cause,” seen in line 11; “b.s.,” seen in line 12 are evidence of an informal conversation. A conversation in which one has with friends or siblings, not a conversation one would have with a professor, boss, parents or clients. In formal conversations one doesn’t use slang, abbreviations, or even words which can be mistaken for profanity like the term “b.s.” seen in line 12. In this conversation, the participants are coworkers who use the reciprocal first name as a term of address, however; this is not shown within the transcript because the participants in this speech event use the nonverbal cue of eye contact…

    Although the content of a conversation is important, the way in which a person says something greatly affects its meaning. The lecture “Conversational Style” addresses five concepts to observe when people deliver a message: pace, overlap and pause, rate of speech, pitch, and topic. Pace is the “rhythm or speed of alternating turns in a conversation,” overlap and pause deals with whether or not participants “talk at the same time,” and rate of speech measures “how many words per minute” a person uses (Maxwell).…

    Meaning by definition is “what is meant by a word, text, concept, or action.” or “ something that is intended to communicate something else that is not directly expressed” and thus context plays a major role in which way our words are portrayed by the listener and our intention on how it is portrayed. Context is a major contributor to the meaning we interpret in language. Language alone will not portray what your sentence is meant to portray. For example; if “I’m freezing” was stated when it is five degree celsius outside, it would mean it is cold but not actually freezing but if it was stated when it is -50 degree celsius and you have frostbite then “I'm freezing” would literally mean you are freezing to death in the cold weather.…
