What is Sociolinguistics? | Language, Society, and Identity Explained
Why do we change the way we speak depending on who we’re talking to? Welcome to Sociolinguistics—the fascinating study of the relationship between language and society.
In this introductory lesson, we explore why "how" you speak is often more important than "what" you say. We’ll look at how social factors like your age, gender, social class, and ethnicity shape your linguistic identity.
In this video, you will learn:
The Core Definition: What makes sociolinguistics different from pure linguistics?
Social Variables: How our environment dictates our word choices and accents.
Code-Switching: Why we flip between languages or dialects (perfect for my viewers in India and Pakistan!).
Prestige & Stigma: Why some ways of speaking are considered "standard" while others are marginalized.
Whether you're a Linguistics major in the USA, a BS English student in Pakistan, or preparing for UGC NET in India, this video breaks down complex theories into simple, real-world examples.
