Conversation homework

In this conversation Person A and person B are having a conversation about a situation which just occurred, person A wasn’t their while person B was. Person A is very formal in how he speaks to person B; this is why it leads me to believe he is a police officer as his questions are very facts based. While person B is very informal in this piece as person B is telling person A about the situation. Person A is in control and is directing the conversation as he is asking all the questions in a formal and force full way but polite at the same time.  This is a transactional piece as it provides information, the language of person B is low register this could be multi monosyllabic words and colloquial.

 

There is a lot of non-fluency language in person B speech in this; there is a lot of “er” and “um” which shows how in power person A is as she is hesitating with every answer as she hasn’t got the power because of the situation. Because of the use of interrogative sentences by the policeman “could you see if anyone was hurt?” causes these responsive as these question shows enforces power. The use of the conversion fillers throughout  this piece “and” shows that she’s struggling re call the sense because of the force of person A ,The struggle to reply with long sentences also shows how hard it was for Person B to contribute to the conversation quickly. The use of hedging language by person B shows that person A is in control as she challenges herself in the conversation aswell “He must have had it” Person A leads the topic as he asks the questions. Person A contribution but because of the situation in reality in this piece and how the replies are to his question’s shows that person A controls the conversation. There is a lot of tabo language as showing the type of character person B is and could help set a sense “bloody flying he was”; this shows the sort of character he or she is by the use of this language. This language is there to heighten what happened to the person A so person A understands the information.

 

 

In this piece person A is in control while person B helps to solve the problem by filling in person A. There is a lot of Transitional language by person A questions however The amount of fillers used by person B shows the struggle she faced to answer because of the shock of the accident.

list 7 words: terrorist,guerrilla,freedom fighter



These words really make you think when they used simply because they are all the same however just using one of these words sets a picture in your head. e.g When hearing terrorist it sets an image of a person who wants to hurt you however in their eyes they are freedom fighters, using a different word will set an image of the locals depending on which side you are on of a war or just how you want them to be protrade. In ww2 The french freedom fighters/ guerrillas would of been made out to be in a strugggle to surivie and everyone would care however if a nazi paper wrote about the french in ww2 they would of been refered to as terrorist because their challanging their beliefs. Also each word has different connotations to it, A freedom fighter makes you believe hes a horroic fighter who stands up for what he beileves in. A guerrilla makes you think of a organised force who fight to help their side win, they are looked like a little army fighting in enemy territory. Using guerrilla doesnt make you think you have joined for choice it makes you believe they were forced to join. Terrorst makes you believe that their out to kill.All three words are the same meaning however using them gives a different spin on the person or people described.
