This paper is based on a language diary, jottings about your own personal speech use and consumption of
language-based media during one day. Quoting from your language diary does not count as a reference for the
paper.
Pick a day when you are in a number of different settings and are interacting in a number of different language
forms. What language do you use (e.g., English, Spanish, Arabic)? What variety of language do you use?
What is the phonetic variation in your language? How do your grammar and vocabulary vary? How do you
change language from situation to situation? What are the different forms you use to communicate and receive
information (in person, phone, television, internet, etc.)
