SECTION C: LANGUAGE IN CONTEXT 1. Look at the exchange below and the labels on the right. A: Would you like to come to the cinema tonight?
INVITING
B: Yes, I’d love to.
ACCEPTING AN INVITATION
We call these labels (i.e. ‘inviting’, ‘accepting an invitation’) FUNCTIONS. It is simply a way of categorising the speaker’s intention. Look at the short dialogue below and label the function of each utterance. Put your answer in the column on the right. A: Hey, Bob!
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
B: Yeah? A: Give me a hand with this suitcase, will you? B: Sorry, but Jenny’s waiting for me. A: O.K. Never mind. This dialogue is clearly a very informal one between two speakers who know each other. Write a similar dialogue in the space below on the same topic – using the same functions – between two people who don’t know each other.
