Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapter 9 of the Van Herk text, paying close attention to the information about Hymes’ S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model. Frequently refer to your Week 3 Final Paper Outline: S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G in Real Life assignment and the observations you made of the speech event, and assess it using Hymes’ S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G model.
This week, you will write your Final Paper based on your outline, synthesizing it with scholarly and/or credible sources and concepts from the textbook, and posit a unique sociolinguistic thesis about the situation and event that you recorded.
