question 48

Essay

The text discusses code switching,an action in which the speaker uses different linguistic variations according to differing cultural contexts.The example in the text is a note from a student to the author of the text,and the example is deconstructed.Discuss how,in this example,the appearance of some of the linguistic properties has been changed by the use of technology.What are some of the ways that language variation can emerge as the result of different technology use? How do these "shifts," which often originate as the result of the properties of the tool itself (smartphone,laptop,and other digital devices)change not just language use and style but also the cultural context and,by extension,the opportunities for code switching?
