Formal and Informal Language
Colloquial language is informal language;
it’s more of a spoken language rather than a written one. It includes
contractions such as wouldn’t and can’t. We mirror colloquial language in our
writing. Colloquial language might include slag and idiomatic language, these
are cultural phrases that don’t really make sense ‘It’s raining cats and dogs’
this is only culturally understood. Euphemistic language is also another aspect
of colloquial language, where you soften language ‘he’s dead’ ‘he passed away’.
Hyperbolic language is where you exaggerate something. Colloquial language is
reflecting spoken language.
Slang is a type of language that’s
associated with groups of people; it can be regional ‘parmo’ ‘howay’ north
east, ‘fam’ midlands. Slag can also be connected with generation, youth
orientation slag, words you would use as a young person, ‘sound’ ‘mint’ ‘milf’
Puns are where phrases have two meanings;
‘dreamers never lie’ puns are rife with tabloid newspapers. It creates humor,
to give it more excitement.
Formal Example
To be confident in your own body is
important in my opinion. It is important not to take people’s opinions into
consideration when thinking about your own body image. It is surprising to
think how many teenage girls feel self-conscious about themselves. You should
be lead to believe that imperfection is perfection; it would be interesting to
see if I could change people’s perceptions on how they feel about their body
image.
