TOPIC: Indicating status and social positionings
NAME:
Alexis Ramirez
CLASS: 7th semester
Teacher: Cesar Narvaez
Indicating status
 According to Claire Kramsch (1998, p.42), In
verbal encounters, what people say to each
other is anchored in the perspective of the
speaker.
 So the speakers choose what to say and
how to say it always indicating the social
status of the listener using social deixis that
helps the speakers to indicate time, place,
etc.
 Social deixis is reference to the social
characteristics of, or distinctions between,
the participants or referents in a speech
event.
 So it means that social deixis in English
expresses social position.
 Social deixis does not deal with three main
components (person, place and time) of the
coordinate system of subjective orientation, but
they show how different social rankings and the
participants of communication utter relationships
within society via language.
 Levinson (1983, p.90) said that social deixis is
a deictic reference usually expressed in certain
forms of address which will include no comparison
of the ranking of the speaker and address. For
examples: your highness, Mr. President, your
majesty, etc
Social Positioning
 Social position is the position of
an individual in a
given society and culture. A given
position (for example, the occupation
of priest) may belong to many
individuals. Social position
influences social status.
 Claire Kramsch (1998, p.42), said that the
use of social deictics like pronouns, forms of
address, or names is one way speakers align
themselves to the cultural context as they
understand it.
 So the decision of add or delete somo
pronouns, address or names is the speakers
decision and it works together with the
context.
 In social positions an individual may hold fall
into the categories of occupation (medical
doctor, academic lecturer), profession (member
of associations and
organizations), family (parent, sibling,
etc.), hobby (member of various clubs and
organizations).
 So using the social positioning people is able to
give a hierarchy to the person that is talking to
(in spoken language) .
 Social positions are visible if they require an
individual to wear a uniform or some other
kind of identifying mark.
 Non-visible social positions are
called hidden.
 A position that is deemed the most important
to given individual is called central.
 Social position together with social
role determines individual's place in
the social environment and social
organization. A group of social positions
will create a social class and a social
circle.
