How is our understanding of culture and society constructed through and by language?

Our understanding of culture and scoiety is reflected by the way we speak. There's slang, snootiness, bad grammar,a dn accents. The way you speak tells the person more about you the you would think.

For example, if you have bad grammar it shows that you aren't educated. Also, the way your voice comes out if it's sharp and your answers to questions are short and mean sounding it may show that you're not a very friendly person. But, if you speak with kindness and with a large range of vocabulary it gives off a very sophisticated look.

The way you speak definitely tells someone about your culture, but so does the way you dress. By just speaking to someone you can tell where they are from or what their nationality is or how educated they are. Accents are amazing and they are hard to immitate if you are not around someone who has an accent. They make you unique and informs people about your past. Language tells more about your past then now or your future. One of the reasons for this is becuase you learn how to speak when you're young and it stays with you forever and it's very hard to break your talking habits and begin new ones.
