Answer 1

The process described in the situation is an example of style-shifting. Style-shifting refers to the change in language use based on the social context or situation. In this case, the child is using more Standard English forms in school, which is a formal setting, as opposed to using Guyanese Creole, which may be more commonly used in informal settings or at home. This change in language use based on the context is characteristic of style-shifting.
