Sociolinguistics
is concerned with language in social and cultural context, especially how
people with different social identities (e.g. gender, age, race, ethnicity,
class) speak and how their speech changes in different situations. Some of the
issues addressed are how features of dialects (ways of pronouncing words,
choice of words, patterns of words) cluster together to form personal styles of
speech; why people from different communities or cultures can misunderstand
what is meant, said and done based on the different ways they use language.
Sociolinguistics encompasses a range of methodologies, both quantitative and
qualitative
