Assalamu'alaikum everyone.
Nice to have a brief writting again after a long time. Today I would to share an useful knowledge about Sociolinguistic since I'm attending Introduction to Sociolinguistic subject this semester. Fine, here we go.
The Notions of Sociolinguistic by Experts.
Gumperz (1971) has observed:
“Sociolinguistics is an attempt to find correlations between social structure
and linguistic structure and to observe any changes that occur.”
Holmes (1992) defines Sociolinguistics as the study of
“the relationship between language and society.”
Peter Trudgill emphasized that the sociolinguistic research helps in getting a better
understanding of the nature of human language by studying language in its social
context. It also provides a better understanding of the nature of the relationship
between language and society. Peter Trudgill (2000) defines Sociolinguistics as
follows:
“Sociolinguistics... is that part of linguistics which is concerned with language
as a social and cultural phenomenon. It investigates the field of language and
society and has close connections with the social sciences, especially social
psychology, anthropology, human geography and sociology.”
Joshua A. Fishman (2001) thinks:
“Sociolinguistic perspective has enabled researchers to document and to
measure a hereto overlooked type of variation in language use and language
behavior.”
Chambers (2002) opines:
“Sociolinguistics is the study of the social uses of language, and the most
productive studies in the four decades of sociolinguistic research have
emanated from determining the social evaluation of linguistic variants. These
are also areas most susceptible to scientific methods such as hypothesis-
formation, logical inference, and statistical testing.”
My Understanding of Sociolinguistic
The word "Sociolinguistic" is used to refer the study of the connection between language and social. This is study field that comes from the interaction of linguistic with particular academic disciplines. It is a study that has a huge interaction with how language works in every level of social.
Thankyou for visiting. See you to the next post.
