'... Consciousness finds itself inevitably facing the necessity of having to choose a language. With each literary-verbal performance, consciousness must actively orient itself amidst heteroglossia...an illiterate peasant, miles away from any urban center, naively immersed in an unmoving and for him unshakable everyday world, nevertheless lived in several language systems: he prayed to god in one language ( church Slavonic) , sang songs in another, spoke to his family in a third, and when he began to dictate petitions to the local authorities through a scribe, he tried speaking yet a fourth language...all these are different languages, even from the point of view of abstract sociodialectological markers. ...As soon as a critical interanimation of languages began to occur in the consciousness of our peasant... then the inviolability and predetermined quality of these languages came to an end, and the necessity of actively choosing one's orientation among them began. ‘
The Dialogic Imagination, Bakhtin
