Conclusions of My Research

For Coke-Cola things were not that difficult to get used to, moving to England and what not. He Does say he misses out on things that relate to childhood telly (British word for TV) and memory's that he didn't experience. On a whole his language was changed but he is not able to notice it as he still lives in England as apposed to bailys who returned to America.


Bailys was able to feel the full effect of British language when she came home to America. She could tell how much her use of certain words had changed by comparing to her friends who hadn't left. Guinness had the same sort of experience.


Guinness had been around Americans for at least 8 months before she moved to America. But her language was always representative of her birthplace, England. There for when she said small things that made perfect sense to her. Her language was effected in little ways but like Bailys she returned back to her home and that took a toll on her diverse hybrid of a language.


So in conclusion were you are and who you are with does make a difference in how you talk. One thing my research uncovered that I hadn't counted on was people talking differently unknowingly. I figured that you would change the way you spoke to change the way you were viewed, but in the cases i observed their language changed based on the influence of where they were.
