B. Verbal Communication: Language Variety and Language Register Verbal communication refers to the use of sounds and language to relay a message. It serves as a vehicle for expressing desires, ideas and concepts and is vital to the processes of learning
and teaching. In combination with nonverbal forms of communication, verbal communication acts as the primary tool for expression between two or more people. In sociolinguistics, language variety—also called lect —is a general term for any distinctive form of a language or linguistic expression. Linguists commonly use language variety (or simply variety) as a cover term for any of the overlapping subcategories of a language, including dialect, register, jargon, and idiolect. Varieties of language develop for a number of reasons: differences can come about for geographical reasons; people who live in different geographic areas often develop distinct dialects—variations of standard English. Those who belong to a specific group, often academic or professional, tend to adopt jargon that is known to and understood by only members of that select group. Even individuals develop idiolects, their own specific ways of speaking. The most common language varieties are the following:
Personal - is used for talking with family and close friends. Personal distance can range from 2 to 4 feet. Tertiary - is measured at 12 or more feet between persons.
