Verbs: to Be

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of English

When creating a new language where verb forms reflect the social status or role of the speaker in the community, it is necessary to consider how the language will be used and how the verb system will impact communication and social interactions. Let's imagine we are creating a language called 'Sociolingo,' and the verb forms of 'to be' will be 'amic' for individuals of communal status, 'arist' for those of elitist status, and 'laber' for people in work or labor roles. Each form would be used according to the social identity of the speaker. For example, a farmer would say 'I amic' to mean 'I am' a communal status person, while a noble would say 'I arist' to express 'I am' an elitist status individual. This would have a profound impact on interactions as language would reflect and reinforce social hierarchies, potentially affecting how people address and relate to each other.
