Social conventions involves alternation, co-concurrent constraint, sequential, and code. Alternation = being able to successfully change from one linguistic form to another and then back again. Co-concurrent constraint = rules that limit the forms we use in social situations. Sequential = ritualized sequences; hi, how are you? or god-bless you . Code switching = being able to switch from one language/dialect to another. Contextualized = within context; concreate; supported by environment; gestures, facial expressions, objects held or seen, shared knowledge of a situation. Decontextualized = without context; more abstract; requires more knowledge from the speaker and listener. Multiple choice on the meaning of the different linguistic units (phoneme, morpheme, syllable)
