Читать книгу An Introduction to Sociolinguistics - Ronald Wardhaugh, Janet M. Fuller - Страница 72

Draw a quick version of your own social network – yourself and ten close friends or family members (don’t overthink this; this is not an actual social network analysis, merely an exercise to get us thinking about how these relationships work in our lives!). Use solid lines for strong ties, dotted lines for weak ties, and single and double lines for those you have infrequent versus frequent contact with.

How would you describe your social network – loose, dense, multiplex or simplex? Looking at your own network, what predictions would you make about who you share the most linguistic features with, and why? (And do you think this is accurate?)
