Are dialects changing?

Nowadays dialects have become identifiable by just hearing an individual's idiolect, we almost use stereotypes to immediately categorise one's  background,social group and home that has influenced the idiolects. Media and the internet are partly to blame by the spread of various dialects and social groups worldwide by connecting people from all over the world in just under 3 seconds. Infact the internet contributes highly to why people know some much about different dialects and social groups and why people of our world have become so judgemental.

however, are dialects changing?

A geordie accent contrasts with a south london accent,by simple letters being pronounced a unique
 way. these accents sound even more overpowering if you were to put a person with a geordie accent within a group of people with a south london accent or even the other way round.although if the person with the geordie accent was to stay a week with the south londoners his accent will simple merge to suit the type of socialect to make it seem he was apart of the group of people.

Although Accent isn't the only way people to make different dialects feel a contrast with one another;by the influence of a certain socialect for example teenagers were to speak with an elderly person from the same region would soon feel out their dept.

But what if you were to stay within a certain socialect for a longer period of time ?

people automatically would merge into a sociolect they're  not to adjust to the person's way of speech depending on the power they both hold.Putting Into context a posh person speaking with a bristolian; The posh speaking person hold the most power resulting in the bristolian trying to adjust to the way in which the posh person speaks almost out of embarrassment.

Controversial issue-Teenagers

Blogger One-"Teenagers nowadays! I am in Absolute disgust with the lot of them.Me and my wife walked home in the beautiful sunshine from the supermarket today holding two large carrier bags, each filled with all our wonderful fresh groceries we purchased for the week.we were happy,it wasn't at all exciting but we were happy.

from a distance i see poorly,because of my terrible eyesight, two blurry faces walking towards us , at this point is wasn't  worried at all until i realized who they were.

Stupid pointless teenagers.

i was then discomforted.

They strutted towards us arrogantly,with not a care in the wold ,never caring about anyone but themselves and it was then when they got closer my final decision was made .they spat there grubby chewing gum onto the floor in front of us and threw ,laughing uncontrollably their used rubbish onto the pavement.

i was astonished! who on earth do they think they are!I turned to my wife which mirrored my emotion.

Back in my day no one would of  dared to be as disgusting as that.Do teenagers ally think that the mess is magically going to tidy itself up?Something need to be done about them.I will write  to my MP immediately and i hope you all have the guts to do too.no one should be intimidate by them and people should stop these incidents to improve our community.

Analysis of Written Texts with Spoken Elements

By collecting all the written texts that we have gathered as a group,I have found that most of them  are used for advertising a promoting a company or product.the company 'MacDonald's' promotes there fast food using its famous slogan "im lovin it"; using  spoken elements in these situations ,we understand that this must be the best way to appeal to a customer or the people buying the food."lovin"is meant for 'loving'although they mean the same thing the way in which MacDonald's uses it give a more warm and relaxed feel to a family or even a child  -MacDonald is a cheap and cheerful restaurant  giving a sense of informality that  appeals widely .
                kfc uses the same technique -"finger lickin good"taking these specific letter out of the lexis -in this case a 'G' really give use a warm feeling of being yourself and not having to making an impression to be able to eat there-you wouldn't see this slogan for a posh ,expensive restaurant.
