Question

What type of language convention has the author used to separate the declarative sentence from the disruptive phrase in this excerpt from "Totally like whatever, you know?" "Declarative sentences—so--called because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not— have been infected by a totally hip and tragically cool interrogative tone?"

Answer 1

The text presents a linguistic stylistic convention.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text shown in the question above presents a creative and stylized language to determine the meaning of a declarative sentence and a disruptive sentence. When this happens, we say that a stylistic convention is taking place, where the author makes a linguistic analysis through a creative language and outside the cultured standard of writing.

In the case of the text above, this convention is linguistic stylistic, as it investigates and exposes the meaning of expressions through a literary language.
