Answer:

Tan uses a nonstandard version of english with her husband because it is the language she spoke as a child and it expresses intimacy.

Explanation:

Growing up in a multilingual household or speaking English as a second language can lead to interesting speech patterns. Even when we are adults and realize that certain phrases or idioms are not grammatically correct, we often use them anyway because of the fond memories they bring or because of the contexts or people we associate them with.

VMariaS [17]

In chapter 40, Sal receives a gift chicken from Ben. Chickens are Sal's favorite animal. However, this is not the only thing that is interesting about the chicken. The name of the chicken is Blackberry, which is interesting for two reasons. The first one is that blackberries remind Sal of her mother, and the feeling of fondness and sweetness associated with her. The irony, however, is that the chicken also reminds her of kissing, based on the story of the girl who claimed that kissing tasted like chicken. When Sal kissed a tree, she also felt a trace of blackberry, which reminded her of her mother.
