Question Answered step-by-step Through the theory of communication accommodation theory (CAT), in… Through the theory of communication accommodation theory (CAT), in a page or longer, research and describe when it’s appropriate to use this theory. (for example) How overaccommodation could lead to more social conflicts. Discuss the hierarchy of stereotypes (which stereotypes lead to willingness in furthering a communication with someone). How overadjusting one’s speech or stereotype-based adjustments could be problematic. So when is CAT appropriate?<---"Whether intentional, overaccommodation, or stereotype-based adjustment that go beyond what is considered necessary and appropriate are often perceived as demeaning, patronizing, and problematic " Excerpt I found that could be useful to you (don't need to use) Third, accent, as well as perceptions of willingness to communicate and willingness to accommodate, exists within a linguistic hierarchy, and as such the results of the current study carry important practical implications for both native and nonnative speakers regarding language attitudes and power within U.S. culture. As demonstrated by Giles et al. (1981), certain accents are viewed as higher status than others. In the United States, where there is no national language, different accents are valued and held in higher status over others (Anderson et al., 2007). For native English-speaking participants, hearing a person speaking with a Spanish accent might induce feelings of linguistic hierarchy wherein they are more attuned to mispronunciations, grammatical errors, or problems with comprehension and clarity. When considering ethnolinguistic vitality, the status of the linguistic group dictates expectations in interactions. <------(https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gretchen-Montgomery-2/publication/319586610_Intergroup_Anxiety_and_Willingness_to_Accommodate_Exploring_the_Effects_of_Accent_Stereotyping_and_Social_Attraction/links/5b843003299bf1d5a72b6eee/Intergroup-Anxiety-and-Willingness-to-Accommodate-Exploring-the-Effects-of-Accent-Stereotyping-and-Social-Attraction.pdf) Arts & Humanities Writing COMM 116 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
