What your speaking style, like, says about you | Vera Regan | TEDxDublin

Cultural and cognitive. On this particular path through immigration, I actually invested in basketball and actually won a scholarship to study out West. Each had an anti-file for the other. These were the stories that showed us why they used language the way they did. The use of the word “Ne” reflected his profile and was shaping it. They were using language to express their evolving identities. The lesson we learned was that people are not simply representatives of social constructs. If you are a sociologist, it is not just age, gender or social class, but there are also parties involved in the same.

Elections also influence. People work on identity. In the place where they live. According to the plans they have. Therefore, these two small parts of speech that seem insignificant actually express a lot in terms of reflection and action. If we go back to the two young women on the bus. Instead of saying they are lazy. Whether careless, or pretentious, or

what

ever we want to say about the young speakers, we must know that these two young women use language to explain many things about their identities and

what

they will be. The next time you hear someone say the word "like," you can say, "Oh, it's like these are the driving engines.

They're like our future." Thank you (applause)
