A speech community is a group of people who share a set of linguistic norms and expectations regarding the use of language.[1]

Exactly how to define speech community is debated in the literature. Definitions of speech community tend to involve varying degrees of emphasis on the following:

Shared community membershipShared linguistic communication

Early definitions have tended to see speech communities as bounded and localized groups of people who live together and come to share the same linguistic norms because they belong to the same local community. It has also been assumed that within a community a homogeneous set of normsshould exist. These assumptions have been challenged by later scholarship that has demonstrated that individuals generally participate in various speech communities simultaneously and at different times in their lives. Each speech community has different norms that they tend to share only partially. Communities may be de-localized and unbounded rather than local, and they often comprise different sub-communities with differing speech norms. With the recognition of the fact that speakers actively use language to construct and manipulate social identities by signalling membership in particular speech communities, the idea of the bounded speech community with homogeneous speech norms has become largely abandoned for a model based on the speech community as a fluid community of practice.

A speech community comes to share a specific set of norms for language use through living and interacting together, and speech communities may therefore emerge among all groups that interact frequently and share certain norms and ideologies. Such groups can be villages, countries, political or professional communities, communities with shared interests, hobbies, or lifestyles, or even just groups of friends. Speech communities may share both particular sets of vocabulary and grammatical conventions, as well as speech styles and genres, and also norms for how and when to speak in particular ways.

Answer:

Dispute resolution at initial level injects a sense of security and belief in an individual and hence improves the relationship between the two

Explanation:

The internal conflicts between the people and institution if resolved at an earlier stage build confidence in people working in the institution. They also start respecting the institution and start believing that their voices are also heard irrespective of their post.

This also brings clarity in relation and expectations both at the institution and individual level. Once a strong bond develops through this exercise of dispute resolution at initial level, the relation between institution and people become co-ordial.
