    What is Sociolinguistic ??
    1. It is that part of linguistics which is concerned with language as a social and
    cultural phenomenon. (Peter Trudgill, 1983)
    2. Sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationship between language
    and society with the goal of a better understanding of the structure of language,
    and how language functions in communication. (Ronald Wardaugh, 1986)
    3. Sociolinguistics is any study of language in relation to society. (Peter Matthew,
    1997)

    Sociolinguistic is a study of relation between language and society,


    how language contributes in social context and how communities
    shape their languages by using them.

    2 subjects of inquiry :
    1. Micro-sociolinguistic
    How social structure influences the way people talk, and pattern
    of use
    correlate with social attributes such as class, sex, and
    age.
    2. Macro-sociolinguistic
    What societies do with their languages, that is, attitudes and
    attachments that account for the functional distribution of
    speech forms
    in society.

    Dialect
    Version of a language that is special to a particular region or group.
    Dialects of the same language are different from each other, but still
    understandable to speakers of another dialect from that language.
    Social dialects are varieties of language used by groups, defined
    according to:
    1. Social classes
    2. Education
    3. Age
    4. Gender

    Prescriptivism
    Prescription approach to language (prescriptivism) is concerned with what
    might be termed linguistic etiquette. Prescriptivism is best exemplified by
    the traditional approach to the teaching of grammar in English schools.
    Prescriptive grammarians put forward a number of arguments in defense of
    their preferences:
    1. One form is more logical than another.
    2. Appeal to classical forms.
    3. A preference for older forms of the language.
    4. Injunction against the use of foreign words.

    Code Switching
    Code-switching is language products that is produced naturally
    by the people who use multiple languages (bilinguals) either a
    doubling in the level of words, phrases and sentence and the
    sentence does not violate the rules of this product of the
    structure of words, phrases and sentences which in both
    languages.
    Code-switching refers to the situation where people switch
    between different languages within the same communication
    activity. Patterns of language choice vary according to speakers
    social backgrounds and the types of interaction in which they
    engage.

    Pidgin
    Pidgins arise when groups of people who do not speak a
    common language come into contact with each other. They
    evolve between people who speak different languages and need
    some way of communicating with each other to carry out trade
    or work.
    Being a new communicative system, pidgins are often very
    simplified or reduced.

    Creole
    A pidgin becomes a creole when it is learned as a first language
    of a new generation, it becomes stable and established and
    comes to be spoken as a mother-tongue by children. The
    process of turning a pidgin into a creole is called creolization
    Creole tends to be more fully developed linguistic system than
    pidgin: Because of the innate capacity to develop language, the
    children then turn the pidgin into a full-pledged new language,
    known as creole (Language Files, 499)
