“Cause
i speak three tongues, one for each : home , school and friends”
(Jamila
Lyiscott
– 3 ways to speak English). Both Jamila and Anzaldua uses different
kind of voices,
because
in reality, we have to be bilingual in different aspects in life,
there are different voices
that
we speak. It all depends on who we speak with, we have a voice for
family, a voice for
friends,
a voice for work. We all adapt and adjust to different situations.
For instance , when
you
are with friends , you can relax and be loose with your language.
However, in a
professional
setting , you have to use the standardized form of language.
Communication is not
about pronounciation , Is it more important that we pronounce a
word
in a certain standard way? As long as you can get the message across.
It is about
making
the other person understand what you are trying to say. All
languages are equal in
terms
of significance and use.
