Mary Bucholtz' critique of the traditional conceptualization of speech community was based in part on which of the following factors: (Select all that apply)

	a.	avoidance of marginalized members
	b.	fixed notions of identity
	c.	overemphasizing social engagement
	d.	the role of language as too central
	e.	relying too much on participants' understanding of their practices

Answer 1

Avoidance of marginalised members as the other languages exvept english were given less importance and many were not even known or considered

Fixed notions if identity as the use of language justified identity and also its sameness or distinctiveness which wasnt right

Relying too much on participants understanding of their practices as the practice is given most importance and the participants understanding about it is evaluated which is not reliable for research
