How does language determine relationships? Do you talk differently depending on your environment? How does this help or hurt you?
Language determines relationships by expressong your feelings. Yes, I think most everybody talks differently depending on their environment. People know that their business or professional demeanor is different than when they are around a comfortable and friendly group of familar people. You have to be able to distinguish betwen certain groups and determine what is appropriate for the ocassion. I think that this helps me because it raises my awareness and makes it easier to adapt to diffent types of groups and settings.
