LANGUAGE AND SPEECH LEVELS
Аннотация
Language is not just a system of grammar and vocabulary, but a versatile tool that adapts to social contexts. A key element in effective communication is the ability to shift between different speech levels—ways of speaking that match the formality, setting, and social relationship between speakers. Understanding these levels is crucial not only in sociolinguistics but also in language education and intercultural communication.
