Speech communities are co-cultures, defining membership in terms of speaking
patterns and styles that reinforce beliefs and values of the group. Cultural groups are
set apart based on their unique communication styles. Thus, various speech
(communication) codes, or a culture’s verbalizations of meaning and symbols, tend to
