Alex’s short sentences do not show any fear from the incoming future, he stays reserved from the beginning till the end of the conversation not attempting to persuade the adviser about his points of view. To conclude, we tried to come up with an analysis of social dimensions in a dialogue taken from fiction. We observed speech between two characters, an adult – a social adviser, and a young boy – a potential juvenile delinquent. The style of both men differed, which depended on their social status, their mutual social distance, the level of formality they had used in their conversation, and the functional effect they both tried to reach in their discussion. We have found out that depending on their social status (both have been switching between various social roles such as parent/child, adult/youth, teacher/student, authority/subordinate), Deltoid and Alex showed either involvement or detachment from the conversation. Deltoid tended to be more involved, close, while Alex stayed detached and distant. When analyzing their words further, the adviser was likely to be more formal, Alex, on the other hand, was more informal (though only when concerning their style in the line “standard-vernacular”). Deltoid’s speech also resulted in high degree of referential, expressive and conative functional content, while Alex’s brief answers were very weak in giving any excessive information. The referential, expressive and affective (conative) content in his speech tended to be very low.
