The document summarizes the key differences between social language and academic language. Social language is informal and used in everyday communication like conversations with friends. It can include slang, repetition of words, and sentences starting with "and" or "but." Academic language, on the other hand, is formal language used in classrooms, textbooks, and assessments. It features more sophisticated vocabulary, sentences starting with transition words, and no slang. The document was submitted to the English department of M.K.B University of Bhavnagar as part of a class.
