1. How does society influence language in terms of the following three
relationships: language and physical environment, language and social
structure, and language and social values? Illustrate with examples.
2. Define standard and non-standard dialects. What are overt prestige and
covert prestige? How are they related to standard and non-standard dialects?
Is it linguistically founded that standard dialects are superior to and more
correct than non-standard dialects? Why or why not? Provide at least three
examples for illustration.
3. In defining language and dialect, a rule of thumb is 'mutual
intelligibility.' According to this definition, what is language and what is
dialect? Is 'mutual intelligibility' a good criterion in distinguishing these
two terms? Is there a clear-cut way to define these two terms linguistically?
Why or why not? Provide explanations with at least three examples. According
to Janet Holmes, what might be a better definition to distinguish language
from dialect?
4. What is the relation between context and language? What are some of the
contextual factors that determine the speech styles? How do linguistic
varieties vary according to contexts? Provide five examples for illustration.
5. Define social stratification and social class. What is the relationship
between social class and language? How are social class differences reflected
by linguistic variation? Provide two examples from two different linguistic
levels (grammar and pronunciation) respectively for illustration.
6. Define speech accommodation. When and how do speakers converge or diverge
their speech? What motives them to do so? Name two reasons for covergence
and divergence respectively. What might be some of the problems for overdoing
convergence or divergence? Name one consequence for each act.

附註：其實老師每年都教同樣的東西、考同樣的題目，
考前一週也會把這些考題（很快地）唸一遍給學生聽。
po這篇是讓明年要修課的同學不用在老師唸題目時死命抄還抄不完XD
