This this a draft of my introduction. :)
There are many factors that inform a person’s decision to speak in a certain manner. Culture, exposure to information, immediate context, biology, and a myriad of other factors are at play when a person speaks. However, it can be argued that the dominant factors can be observed in discourse: what is the speaker prioritizing in their speech? The answer is not necessarily one that is consciously decided by the speaker, but is definitely present. Through this paper, it my goal to utilize one conversation between two adult women [“Ch” is a “A”’s professor] as a case study to illustrate how those priories can be seen within a conversation. The aspects to be researched will be credibility, identity, and comfort as the main markers that dictate why A switches discourses throughout the conversation.
