There are several possible relationships between language and society. One is what social structure may either influence or determine linguistic struc-【M1】______ ture and/or behavior. A certain evidence may be adduced to support this【M2】______ view: the age-grading phenomenon whereby young children speak differently from elder children and, in turn, children speak differently from mature【M3】______ adults: studies which show that the varieties of language that speakers use reflect such matters like their regional, social, or ethnic origin: and other【M4】______ studies which show that particular ways of speaking, choices of words, and even rules for conversing are in fact highly determined by certain social requirements. A second possible relationship is directly opposing to the first: linguistic【M5】______ structure and/or behavior. may either influence or determine social structure. Many of these who argue that languages rather than speakers of these【M6】______ languages can be "sexist". A third possible relationship is that the influence is bi-directional: language and society may influence each. A fourth possibility【M7】______ is to assume that there is no relationship at all between linguistic structure and social structure and that every is independent of the other. A variant of this【M8】______ possibility would be to say that, although there might be some such relationship, present attempts to characterize it is essentially premature, given what【M9】______ we know about both language and society. Actually, this variant view appears to be the one that Chomsky himself holds: he prefers to develop an asocial linguistics such as a preliminary to any other kind of linguistics.【M10】______
