chapter 6

Listening to the language that a subculture uses is very important. Words and phrases that are used may not be used by a different group or have completely different meanings. It is really hard for me to pick up the exact language that they use in the studio. I hang out with most of the people that I observed on a regular basis. Most of what they say seems natural to me because I am so used to it. I am going to try to pick up things that I would not normally say.
