Description

The descriptive study of sociolinguistics examines how society as a whole, including cultural norms, expectations, and environment, affects how language is used and how society affects language. It varies from language sociology, which focuses on how language affects society. Pragmatics and sociolinguistics have several areas of intersection. Its historical connections to linguistic anthropology have made it difficult to distinguish between the two disciplines. The social life of language is the topic of this book. Microanalysis to broad-based policy and planning initiatives are all included in this field. As a result, sociolinguistics, the sociology of language, and psycholinguistics are all references in this work. All the issues treated in the book are strongly connected by the connection between language and identity, whether that identity belongs to an individual or a group. It offers access to the most important issues and discussions in the area for academics and advanced students, as well as a venue for fresh sociolinguistic research projects.
