Question:
|
It seems that there's been a trend in increased use of second person when people are referring to themselves in speech.
Example:
Q: ''How did you feel when you lost your job?''
A: ''You're in shock. You get angry, you feel lost. You wonder what you could've done differently, but you have to move on.''
Has there been any linguistic research done on this aspect of language use? I'm trying to remember when I first noticed it. Thank you very much for any information you can provide.
