Languagereactive翻译 and Social Status
One's language is inseparable from the its identity in the society. I still remembered that a neighbour got up early to practice the pronunciation everyday in order to make his sounds euphonic, when I lived in Australia.
  Indeed, the language is the sign of one's social status, especially in the multi-national and multi-cultural society. The so-called "identity", is also a kind of knowledge structure, indicating the cultural background of the social group where you come from, the knowledge degree and even the geographical position.
  The language will influence the corresponding cultural cognition. For example, the research finds that, for the bilingual chinese, when asked about the cultural concepts in chinese, their answers are more apparent to reveal the chinese styles than asked such problems in English. Interestingly, when Hong Kong and Macao people who speak cantonese are asked about china's culture and religion in mandarin, their answers are always more close to the ways of westerners express than in cantonese with the same questions.
    In fact, for the chinese learning foreign languages, the majority are not the real sense of so-called "bilingual people", but "bilingual users"; The latter is in the language and the expression level, but the former is in thinking and life habits. However, this process is not still, but can be converted.
  Therefore, the study of language learners, is in fact a kind of social relations, which he understands and forms across the space and time.Thus, he faces is not only the linguistics, but the multiple, changing social status.
  Research also shows that a person's speech style is not aptotic, but it will change as the changes of the social environment and the people he talks to. In general, the personal speech has a tendency to convergence (that is, follow the crowd), but sometimes it also  have divergent tendency (that is to show their own characteristics). For example, when I went back to Beijing, my "Beijing tone" becomes strong a lot; And when my English friends in Australia, his "anglicisms" remains more apparent. I don't know whether it is deliberately to show its identity.
During the process of people adapting to the exotic culture, his attitudes to the native language also have a positive or negative choices. Some people, when they are active in the other mainstream cultures at the same time, they are inclined to weaken their own native language ability; However, some people,  strengthen this aspect, thinking this is an advantage.
    Generally speaking, if the language that a certain social groups speak is for some kind of social respect(such as in England, the language spoken the noble as a representative of the queen.),it will have a higher social superiority. And its members also might show distinvtive, in order to keep with its positive group characteristics.
Of course, it is inevitable to have others draw close way of speaking to this group.
A man's language also can become the evaluation of other objects. According to the research, people can judge his social position, education level, kind or not, intelligence, ability and even wealth from the language and so on.
  Visibly, language has the meaning to the individual. If the clothing is the body's modification, then the language is the external expression of one's comprehensive value. Therefore, the language should not only be regarded as a tool, but a kind of quality.
