The speech community is an important topic in social linguistics. But previous studies have some deficiencies in this area. The researchers have little discourse about language emotion and verbal frequency as factors in the speech community, and the relation between the speech community and the community.With the children of young intellectuals as research object , the paper do qualitative analysis from aspects below-language mark ,language usage , language perception and language emotion. Therefore, we have two new points about speech community that unnatural communicative Concentration is an important form and language emotion is the essential factor of speech community.The paper includes five chapters.The first chapter is the introduction, including review of definition of the speech community, definition of the research object, analysis of research significance and value and general introduction of research methodology. Based on the previous research, we sum up the main factors in traditional concept of speech community and discover three questions below—the importance of language emotion and verbal frequency and the relation between the speech community and the community. We will discuss these questions through interview.Chapter two is the analysis of the research object in the point of sociology. Based on review of definition of the community, we investigate the frequency in interaction of the research object, and find out this group is a emotional community with weaker relation. And we find out the group member get a vague idea about their personal identification.Chapter three is the analysis of the research object in the point of linguistics. We do research on the language situation of the group from aspects below—language mark, language usage, language perception and language emotion. And find they act different .Therefore we find the group is not a traditional speech community.Chapter four is the analysis of the deeper language emotion of the children of young intellectuals. We find the group members have crisis in mother language identification which is related with their personal identification. Therefore, we find out this group is an untypical speech community by the same crisis in mother language identification. Chapter five is the conclusion of speech community. Combining the interview and research above, we find out the language emotion is the key factor of the speech community, especially in the unnatural communicative Concentration. And the speech community can be the natural communicative Concentration as well as unnatural communicative Concentration. And the difference between the speech community and the community is the language emotion.In a word, the paper makes new conclusion of the speech community through the interview and a linguistic analysis. And get new discourse about language emotion and verbal frequency as factors in the speech community, and about the relation between the speech community and the community. And they are of great significance to researches on social linguistics as well as analysis of the emotional community.
