Sociolinguistic Universal 2 IF A feature (like h- dropping) shows a shift in style (formality) It will also signal a difference in social group Holmes, Janet. 2013. An Introduction to Sociolinguistics, 4th edition. London: Pearson, p. 450. 3/7

Encouraging Sociolinguistic Competence 2 Seek to understand:  Culture Shock How to immunize against it with culture capsules, etc.  English in a globalized world; lingua franca 7/7
