Questions: Question 14 ( 0.5 points) Listen The Inuit have dozens of words for what we typically just call snow. This is an example of pragmatic rules emotive language jargon linguistic relativism Question 15 ( 0.5 points) Listen Which of the following factors that can affect how people perceive your status? Accent Choice of words Apparent age of a speaker All of these

Question 14: The answer is: linguistic relativism.

Explanation:

• Pragmatic rules: These are the rules that govern the use of language in social contexts, such as how to take turns in conversation or how to address someone politely. This does not relate to the variety of words for snow.
• Emotive language: This refers to language that expresses or evokes emotions. The variety of words for snow in Inuit languages is not primarily about expressing emotions.
• Jargon: This is specialized language used by a particular group, often to make communication more efficient within that group. While the Inuit words for snow could be considered specialized, the concept is more about how language shapes thought.
• Linguistic relativism: This is the idea that the structure of a language affects its speakers' worldview or cognition. The fact that the Inuit have many words for snow suggests that their language influences how they perceive and categorize snow, which is a classic example of linguistic relativism.

Question 15: The answer is: All of these.

Explanation:

• Accent: The way someone speaks can influence how others perceive their social status, education level, and even intelligence. Different accents can carry different social connotations.
• Choice of words: The vocabulary a person uses can also affect perceptions of their status. For example, using formal or sophisticated language might make someone seem more educated or higher in social status.
• Apparent age of a speaker: The perceived age of a speaker can influence how their status is viewed. Younger speakers might be perceived as less experienced, while older speakers might be seen as more authoritative.
• All of these: Since all the factors listed (accent, choice of words, and apparent age) can affect how people perceive someone's status, the correct answer is "All of these."
