Response for Monday: Laib on amplification and compression

After reading Laib's chapter 14, Development: Amplification and Compression, explain a hypothetical situation in which amplified language would be preferred. Also provide a situation where compressed language would be most useful. Finally, look at your group's discourse community for project #2. Does it prefer amplification or compression? Why? How do you know?
