Functions

                                                                 

                  

 Every time we speak or write is because of a reason or a purpose. So here we have some examples of functions: apologizing, greeting, clarifying, inviting, advising, agreeing, etc. Here we have more explanation: 

                                    "Language Function by Williams Jennifer"

In this part I have learned that when we describe the function of the language we focus in how it is used. We have three different ways to describe the language: context (the situations). Exponent (what we say). And the function (asking, suggesting, or thanking someone). There are three functions of the language and each function depends on the context. We have formal (more socially distant) neutral, when we want to show neither great respect nor to much informality and informal (it is more socially casual). So I can practice formal, informal and neutral language in every day but according to our purpose and according to the situation because we should use the language properly.
