- Many adult Americans, particularly males, do not have especially close friends. This is unfortunate for a number of reasons. The lack of close friends places an unrealistic burden on a person’s spouse. He or she is expected to provide all the other’s emotional needs. In addition, without close friends, adults become emotionally limited. They lose the ability to express themselves freely to other people. The Bangwa tribe of Western Africa, by contrast, value friendship so highly that parents assign each of their children a “best friend” in infancy. Friends spend a great deal of time together throughout their lives. The worst part of being old, complained one elderly Bangwaman, was that he had no best friend left to gossip with.

- Recognizing the Summary: For the following paragraph, choose the summary you think is the best. Sociolinguistics is concerned with the ethnography of speaking, that is, with cultural and subcultural patterns of speech variation in different social contexts. The sociolinguist might ask, for example, what kinds of things one talks about in casual conversations with a stranger. A foreigner may know English vocabulary and grammar well but may not know that one typically chats with a stranger about the weather or where one comes from, and not about what one ate that day or how much money one earns. A foreigner may be familiar with much of the culture of a North American city, but if that person divulges the real state of his or her health and feelings to the first person who says, “How are you?” he or she has much to learn about “small talk” in North American English. Similarly, North Americans tend to get confused in societies where greetings are quite different from ours. People in some other societies may ask a greeting, “Where are you going?” or “What are you cooking?” Some Americans may think such questions are rude; others may try to answer in excruciating detail, not realizing that only vague answers are expected, just as we don’t really expect a detailed answer when we ask people “How are you?” (qtd. from Judith Resnick & Lanny Lester, Text & Thought, pp. 194-195)
