4 I think that overall, for the final version, I added more organization with bolded words
and clear sections. However, I definitely could have done better and added color/more
elements to the text.
5 I think that I added a lot of detail about my talking circles and what we discuss on a
regular basis.
4 I added the visual for the intonations here on how I greet acquaintances vs. friends
and family and the intention behind it. I probably could have added more in terms of
specific words.
4 I added the visual for the intonations here on how I greet acquaintances vs. friends

specific words.
4 I again added a little bit more detail to this section but could have added more to the
morphology section of it.
3 I added a section for pragmatics since draft 2 and looked at proverbs and quoting the
bible as well as my tendency to make puns and play with word sounds in conversation
with my friends. I certainly could have gone more in depth with this as well. I agree,
need to apply terms + concepts from ch. 9
4 I added more specificity to this section and what happens when we cross the line in
conversation.

4 I added more here as well talking about the difference between the words that my
guy and girl friends use in conversation, but more than likely could have looked into
the difference in talking to acquaintances and kids of differing genders as well.
4 I couldn’t think of much more to say here in terms of dialect and region, but I identify
where my friends and family are from and why my accent slightly differs between
them.✔ no, but connections to any stereotypes, stigmas or prestige attached to any
aspect of accent or dialect is part of the analysis!
4 I added a reflection at the end talking about what I learned from my experience with
this assignment- which was very interesting to me!
5 I agree, a thoughtful and specific evaluation of your work.
