Heteroglossia

After reading the assigned chapter for this week and researching the meaning of heteroglossia I can say that I am still unsure as to its definition. There are bits and pieces that I can put out on the table as to what its definition may involve.

Heteroglossia, (with the influence of Bakhtin), is the different discourses that establish an absolute authority. It involves the language and ideas that we use to identify ourselves. Heteroglossia includes the different ways in which we speak. Everyone pronounces their words differently based on their cultural background.
