Specifically, linguists distinguish language as an act of speaking, writing, or signing, in given situation (Chrystal, 1992:212) According to Hudson (1996:109) speech as an act of speaking is crucial in a number of social activities, including socialization and it is hardly necessary to stress the general importance of speech in social life. Speech allows us to communicate with each other at a much more sophisticated level than would otherwise be possible, and since communication is a social activity it could be said that speech is also social.} }
