These instances are quite different from the usual intonation pattern in the RP, where the stress is put on the last stressed word according to the typical intonation pattern. Moreover, the difference in the accent could be seen from the pronunciation of the /r/ sound in the middle of the words, where the /r/ becomes lightly more trilled /. This peculiarity is quite obvious in the Jordana’s speech manner, as could be seen in the word frogs /frɒɡz/ (13:35). However, other characters like Lloyd, Oliver’s father, do not produce the trilled /r/ sound at all, so this aspect in the speech might add more to the manner of the teenager’s rather than to the accent of Southern Welsh.

Because he does not hear anyone speak English in Lakemba he automatically assumes that they do not hold an Australian identity as speaking English is seen as a criteria to be Australian. (Reference here language in the reader). In comparison it is strongly evident that ADF does have a sense of being the “other” therefore I cannot use the concept of universalism to their text.
He states, "I didn't want to be different from anybody else. I wanted to be like everybody else. Look like them. Talk like them. But I was just a yankii – a yellow-faced boy with a strange accent.

Kim uses something called a vocal fry, a low creaky vibration tone of voice. In the text, They’re, Like, Way Ahead of the Linguistic Currrrve by Douglas Quenqua, he uses tone, style, and structure to show that America’s young women use vocal fry.

Her family talked to her in a southern accent.

In her writing, Tan often describes her experiences as the child of Chinese immigrants, growing up in northern California and living in American culture. Tan explains how she has learned to embrace the many Englishes her mother speaks and how her background has also caused her to have different Englishes. While others classify her mother's English as "broken" she finds no fault in it. In Tan's view, just because something is broken does not necessarily mean that it is in need of fixing. In her essay, author Amy Tan addresses the connections between languages and cultures in describing the different Englishes her mother uses.

The passage “On Seeing England for the First Time” by Jamaica Kincaid uses repetition and figurative language to convey her resentment toward England. Jamaica Kincaid uses repetition in her passage to show how her attitudes toward England as it slowly erased the Antigua’s culture. Kincaid uses the words “Made in England” to express how the English had dominated their culture and their way of life; the Antigua people had been asphyxiated by the English and their culture so aggressively and for so long that they began feeling inferior for not being English which made them try even harder to strive and be just like them because they considered that their main goal, to be able to be part of the magnificence that was the english culture. She goes on to explain how she had to change personal aspects to be more acceptable by her society
The “S” sound is very smooth and flows very well. This makes the death of the young boy instant. It also makes time seem short and makes every detail insignificant. Frost and Owen both heavily use the contrast.
She refers to “Made in England” on numerous accounts to show exactly how much of her world revolved around this “perfect” ideal place everyone wanted to live up to (33). Explaining how everything but “the exceptions being the sea, the sky, and the air we breathe”, Kincaid is portraying a sense of dictatorship over her own life (33). Her tone grows stronger with more anger towards this control England had on her life as her essay goes on. Using this tone reinforces her argument of showing the reader that England was not as splendid and fabulous of a place people have depicted it to
Language is the most powerful tool of communication in this world, with language we are able to create change. For instance Martin Luther King Jr is a man who created peace against racial oppression with he delivered his speech because of it he received a Nobel Prize. In his “I have a dream” speech, his words were inspirational when he spoke about equality. He said, “ Now is the time to make real promises of democracy.

Her article, Britishness, and Otherness: An Argument, uses ethnohistory, nationalism and cultural methodologies to express how those in the British Empire rattle and are protective of their identity. In her article, she discusses how British identity waves since identity exists in a ven diagram and not in the black and white roles of the past. Religion, gender, race, ethnicity and many other identities exist in various combination depending on the individual. She asks why little attention has been focused on how or why the British population defines themselves against both real and imaginary enemies.
