+Question for Discussion
In terms of language, what importance is there in understanding the reason(s) that one segment of a community separates from the main community?
The reason(s) for the separation often explains why a language developed a certain way lexically, stylistically, structurally, phonetically, and semantically. Language does not develop randomly.
Example: Slavery—the need to hide escape plans from the master resulted in the metaphorical style of AAVE

+Unlike historical or political records, . . .
literature provides an even better view of a language's power because literature uses figurative language, which requires the most skillful use of lexicon.
![Page 106: Examreview](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5565eac9d8b42a20638b4c61/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)

Figurative language is the use of metaphors and similes that make direct or indirect comparisons that are meant to be taken imaginatively, not literally.
