LANGUAGE FUNCTIONS

Language functions refer to the purposes in which we use language when we say or write something. We use language for a variety of formal and informal purposes. Also, it sometimes depends on what tone we adopt to communicate something.

For example:

Peter lent some money to Carlos for two days and one month later. Peter says:

Polite

Strong

Carlos please, can you borrow my money?

I want you borrow my money.

I think that you must borrow my money.

It would be a good idea if you borrow my money.

My money, right now, OK?
