I really liked this article. As a young African American woman that attended private schools, I relate to this. The author is looking at a young affluent boy trying to imitate what he believes is black culture as he perceives: violence, drugs, rap and slang. He changes his language to adapt to black culture to be “cool” but when he rises to adult culture he loses the accent in favor of a preppy look. Mike is appropriating a culture he knows nothing about. He dresses like a young African American boy and speaks in AAVE but he is not a member of the Black community. I thought it was really interesting that the article highlighted that there is an inherent connection between the poor, violence and black culture. Mike seemed to struggling with not understanding the black plight. The author also explained that movies and pop culture were bridges to study and imitate black culture.

Given that research like this is used to support programs that push for enhancingeducational equity, espousing a perspective that highlights and honors the linguisticcomplexity and sophistication of all language groups is often eschewed in the popularmedia
It is sad that even today, children growing up in poverty STILL don't have access to the same education as children from wealthy communities as seen in Flint.

how cultural diversity intersects
Chapter four really touched on the fact that the language gap is inherently tied to minorities and people living in poverty and historically that caused people to falsely say these children are less intelligent

he most commonly usednames for such roles are: Agent, Actor, Object (or Patient, or Theme, or Undergoer),Instrument, Experiencer, Goal, and Source.
This is reminding me of shift footing and its practical purposes in writing and literature, specifically in news articles.

such forms asLau Afioga‘Your Highness’ (
I like this form of high/low context societies because Alesana was learning about different cultural and different types of language via the a person's actions. When a person wants something they specifically change their voices and this is important to understanding how langauage operates in this community.

I never realized agency could be categorized into two separate categories. I always assumed that it was a one dimensional thing that just meant you were responsible/ doing a thing.

It's interesting that different symbols have entirely different meanings depending on where you are. A head bobble is a form of body langage and metaphoric language that can translate to may things just like the index and middle finder translate to several different things in different cultures.

This is not a trivial point given that I learned countless stories about discrimi-nation of deaf people by shopkeepers in Mumbai: deaf people were being ignored, notserved, made to wait forever, or hushed away. Also, this article only focuses on thevisual-gestural and auditory-oral modality, and not on the modality of writing, which isoften intertwined with the two former ones, and covered in another publication(Kusters,forthcoming b). Furthermore, the interactions featuring Pradip (the deaf-blindman, case 2), differ significantly from the ones described in this article and are analysedelsewhere (Kusters,forthcoming a,forthcoming b)
I found this to be an interesting point because when I travel, I rely soley on iconic images and body language to describe what I want and how I am feeling as my form of language. A member of the Deaf community is capable of conveying how they feel or what they want via body language and pointing and its frustrating the would be discriminated against
