FLYING WITH LANGUAGE ANALYSIS
Detailed sample responses to these typical English Examination questions:
"No self-respecting Aussie would say 'good-day'. That sounds as un-Australian as saying 'how do you do'. The greeting is 'g'day'; it's a national badge that unites us all, and if you're an Australian you say it not only to show you are a member of that wonderful group, you say it because it's how you speak. It will always show that you are party of the group, whether you were conscious of announcing it or not."
(Dr Magda Tablisky: My Strine)
'Individuals use language to be identified as a member of various groups, adapting their use of language to fit into the group'.
With reference to at least two subsystems of language, explain how language use reflects a group identity.
