Language And Community



Community Definition: 


"A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common: Rhode Island's Japanese community; the scientific community." Oxford Dictionary

"The people with common interests living in a particular area" Merrian-Webster

"A group of people that share the same customs, interests, laws or traditions, and language" Course Companion

Communities are created by people to produce knowledge, authority, and language. In each community you may have certain types of language, for example, probably when you talk to your parents or to your school teacher it will be a very different way to communicate compared when you are talking to a friend.
