Dialectal variation refers to the change in language by various influences, Patios it’s a dialect from a
particular region and is very popular in Jamaica there are different variations of dialect that was
portrayed in this reflective piece. Mesolect Is a combination of standard English and Patios which is

wi room cause I don’t trust this" Title Jonathan wasn’t ashamed to use poise but it’s instinctively Came

Acrolect is the full use of standard English and this was used in paragraph one when Akeem said hey
how are you I’m a roommate and also when the therapist said we’ll take good care of you they both use
acrolect to show formality.

Language registers is a systematic variant of language appropriate to a particular setting it also

speaks to the level of formality used in written or spoken language the six registers are formal frozen
casual consultative intimate and private language registries are found in various parts of this reflective
piece consulted registers where portrayed when that therapists said you will get better soon and casual

shown because it was a in doctor patient setting and the friendly conversation between friend shows
that it was casual.
