This is three paragraphs on Arbies and Albion’s transcription .

Transcription :

Arbies: Ight, what position are you in the league                                                                                                 Arbies: Lemme jusss bring out the league table, juss look at da table look at da table  look at the table.           Albion: I personally fink yeh (back channeling                                                                                               Albion: No cuz den dey make da points equal now                                                                                      Arbies: Look at the table,look at the table (repetition, emphasis)

Arbies and Albion use a lot of language devices like idioms , omissions and repetition. Words like Ight ,juss,fink and cuz are all idioms . The words have been shorten for efficiency but no a lot have been taken out so you can still understand what they are saying .

Arbies and Albion are friends so they understand each other and know what they are trying to say. Arbies uses a lot of repetition like “juss look at da table look at da table  look at the table. ” This is to force his point across . When Arbies does this he’s forcing Albion to look at proof to back his argument , proof that Arbies knows is solid that why it’s like he’s forcing Albion to look at t because he knows that the has won the argument .

Albion does not say to much to back up his side of the argument because he knows he’s lost and does not have anything else to say he’s trying to back up his argument but because of Arbies’s persistence he cant really say anything else because he knows its pointless .

Ramone : Where’s Andy? why,why did,why you our of class .                                                                         Gabriel: Got sent out                                                                                                                                             Ramone : [laughs] bullet head , where’s that fat guy.                                                                                           Andy : Yellow , Yellow , Yellow                                                                                                                             Ramone : Where u going we have to do this fing                                                                                                 Gabriel : Your fat

Transcript :

Ramone : Where is Andy ? Why are you out of class ?                                                                                     Gabriel : I got sent out .                                                                                                                                         Ramone : [Laughs] You’r head is shaped like a bullet . Where is that fat guy?                                                     Andy : Yellow , Yellow , Yellow                                                                                                                           Ramone : Where are you going to we have to do this .                                                                                     Gabriel : You are fat .

When Andy says yellow three times that is alliteration . Terms like Bullet head is and idiom because only a certain group will know what it means . When Gabriel excludes I from the 2nd line that is called omission and that is for efficiency .

In the non standard version of this they talk very different and use a lot of terms only they know what means like bullet head and yellow . They talk like this with each other because their comfortable with each other and their all friends . From this little bit we would be able to make a judgement that they are all friends because of the way they speak to each other . Also because of the first line “Where is Andy ? Why are you out of class ?” Because of the last bit “out of class” we know that their in school . Because of this we know that the people speaking are under 18 .
