There's a little bit here about goblin's speaking in a more traditionally goblinesque manner around humans than amongst themselves and they do it to meet expectations of what humans want from them. I think that's an interesting idea in theory, but it also kind of plays to the idea that cleverness is in eloquence and that speaking 'properly' is a marker that they are worth taking seriously, which I'm not a big fan of.
