On Erik Borg, says that “We do not generally use language to communicate with the world at large, but with individua of individuals…these groups are gathered into communities.”

Each of us belongs to a number of these groups (called discourse communities). If you stop at a coffee shop routi are a member of that community. Members know what the “rules” are for communicating with each other, what ki greeting is used, what the standard length of comments is, what kind of comments are acceptable, and what kind Other discourse communities might be related to activities with children, fitness, or church. You can probably thin examples of a conversation topic or a greeting that would be acceptable at the gym but not at church. In this ass you are going to look at the communication that occurs in one of your discourse communities, the one an interest in your field of study (major, program, or discipline).
