5. What is Language Repertoire?
Language repertoire is the set of skills and knowledge a
person has of one or more languages, as well as their
different varieties. Linguistics repertoire also need the
ability to quickly and easily change one’s speech
patterns in order to adapt to a new situation. For
example, when we talk with our teacher, directly we use
formal language and be polite. Different with when we
see our teacher talk with her/his friend. They use an
informal way like we talk to our friends. It
spontaneously changes the way we use our language
14. “Diglossia” is the word originated from a
Greek word meaning a state of being
bilingual. Diglossia is a situation in which a
community uses two different languages or
two significantly different varieties of one
language for different situations. The way it
typically works is that one dialect or
language is used for a casual every day
interaction and a different standard language
is used for more official, formal purposes.
15. The dialect or language that is used for daily
communication is typically a “Low Variety”.
Diglossia is very common in the world. The most commonly discussed
example is probably Arabic language. The other examples of using diglossia
are in Italy, German, and Switzerland.
