Lyric Hicks

Giavanna Birch

Visual-This picture represents colloquialism because it is a word that teenagers usually use in ordinary conversation to express something that looks fascinating or sounds nice or looks cool. The word is not formal so it would be considered a colloquialism.

Term: Colloquialisms are words used in any ordinary conversation such as “Hey dude” or “whats up homie”

( Gia) Aim- The authors purpose is to persuade the reader its okay to use colloquialisms when speaking to someone. This is being stated Explicitly because colloquialisms is expressing how you feel, its usually straight and to the point not leaving anything behind. Colloquialism is the language our world is using today. It is a very unreserved and outspoken in expression. Colloquialisms are the proper word for “slang words”

Historical- This influences the relationship between the author and the audience because if the author uses colloquialisms then the audience could relate depending on if they know the words the author or the language the author is writing in.

(Lyric) Audience- Who is the audience? Colloquialism language is used in informal writing situations and creates a conversational tone. Everyday spoken language gives your writing a casual, relaxed effect. Colloquial language is not necessarily “wrong” but it used when a writer is trying to achieve informality.

Cultural- How does the persuasion affect the cultural (modern) context of the written text? It affects modern day context because new words are getting made up by kids or teenagers everyday and we use them more and more until they become normal language we use them so much that parents and adults are beginning to use it in their everyday conversation too.
