Abstract:

Language policy in multiethnic states includes prognostic aspect as a necessary component for making better decisions within a changing language situation. At present, when the speed of decision-making in all spheres of human activity has significantly increased, there is a need for additional involvement of forecasting methods from the sciences related to sociolinguistics. The article provides an overview of forecasting methods traditionally used in Russian sociolinguistics. In order to increase interest in this aspect, sociolinguists analyze the possibility of introducing key methods from other interdisciplinary sciences to predict language development in sociolinguistic studies.

Abstract:

This article is devoted to studying the founders of sociolinguistics and their comprehensive research dedicated to this science. Besides, the article provides with the data that has contributed to the development of new trends in sociolinguistic science. Sociolinguistics, being a science that combines such domains as society and linguistics, studies language changes in society, language policy in it, corpus planning of language, problems of national, official and minority languages, as well as gender policy in linguistics. Such sociolinguists as as Abdykadyr Orusbayev, Joshua Fishman, Zamira Derbisheva, Yu.D. Desheriev, who were engaged in research in this field, made a huge contribution to the development of sociolinguistics.

Abstract:

In this paper, I consider the use of corpora in sociolinguistic research and, more broadly, the relationships between corpus linguistics and sociolinguistics. I consider the distinction between "conventional" and "unconventional" corpora (Beal et al. 2007a, b) and assess why conventional corpora have not had more traction in sociolinguistics. I then discuss the potential utility of corpora for sociolinguistic study in terms of the recent trajectory of sociolinguistic research interests (Eckert under review), acknowledging that, while many sociolinguists are increasingly using more advanced corpus-based techniques, many are, at the same time, moving away from corpus-like studies. I suggest two primary areas where corpus developers, both sociolinguistic and non-, could focus to develop more useful corpora: Corpora containing a wider range of non-standard (spoken) varieties and more flexible annotation and treatment of spoken language data.

Abstract:

The Sociolinguistic Glossary aims to provide a systematized corpus of basic terms and concepts of modern sociolinguistics, which since the second half of the XXth century has been rapidly developing at the junction of various humanities and social sciences and is being replenished with new concepts of an interdisciplinary nature, acquiring and developing its own conceptual and terminological apparatus. The articles of the Sociolinguistic Glossary will be devoted to the most important topical issues of sociolinguistics-language and society, language and nation, interaction of language and culture, bilingualism and multilingualism, language policy and language legislation, language planning, as well as concepts used in sociolinguistics as fundamental: language situation, language policy, language conflict, language contact, methods of sociolinguistic research, etc. Special attention in the glossary entries will be given to the languages of Russia.

Abstract:

This contribution discusses the state of affairs of sociolinguistics in the Dutch language area. The discussion is particularly based on the conference papers in the proceedings of the "First Conference on Sociolinguistics", which was organized in November 1991. This conference was meant to be the first one in a series of conferences to stimulate sociolinguistic research in the Dutch language area and to bring together sociolinguistic researchers from different areas. The contributions in this volume represent the plenary lectures from that conference. In our overview two questions are addressed: 1. For which topics did the attention diminish over the last ten years and which topics seem to have gained importance? Is research into social vari-ability and the social context of language and language behaviour loosing its impact? 2. Are theoretical developments in sociolinguistics rather scattered and diffuse and is there hardly any theoretical progress in sociolinguistics?

Abstract:

Summary: This chapter presents a comparative analysis of the Catalan and Occitan sociolinguistic situations. Whereas these two sister languages have often been studied in parallel up until the modern period, they are now often opposed because of the differences in institutional support and prospects of maintenance. This comparative or contrastive study investigates the origins of the discrepancy of the Occitan and Catalan situations in terms of the speakers’ linguistic conscience and linguistic identity. An analysis of the treatment of diglossia by Occitan and Catalan sociolinguists sheds lights on the similarities and differences in the theorisation of power relations between dominant and dominated languages over two territories, France and Spain. The transnational aspect of these two languages, with Occitan being spoken in the Aran valley and Catalan in the region of Roussillon, is also examined and demonstrates the impact of national policies in France and the lack of global community identification for Occitan. In this way, the findings highlight the manner in which language ideologies present at the macro-level, can affect the speakers’ socio-psychological representations of Occitan and Catalan.

Abstract:

The paper reviews the monograph on sociolinguistics “Grundlagen und Aspekte der Soziolinguistik” (Hannover, 2022) by the leading contemporary Germanist Peter Schlobinski. This unique work is equally useful both for the initial acquaintance with sociolinguistics and its quintessential foundations, and for improving the practical experience already available in this area and searching for new research impulses. The review covers in detail all the structural components of the book: the theoretical part with its chapters on the conceptual and methodological foundations of sociolinguistics, as well as the practical part, which is a collection of diverse sociolinguistic studies conducted by P. Schlobinski in different years. The monograph focuses on issues of social dialectology, urbanolects, linguistic relativism and criticism, the problem of taboo and sociolinguistic processes in Internet communication.

Abstract:

AbstractIn a globalised sociolinguistics “[d]ifferent types of societies must give rise to different types of sociolinguistic study”, as Dick Smakman and Patrick Heinrich argue in the concluding remarks of their (Smakman, Dick. 2015. The westernising mechanisms in sociolinguistics. In Dick Smakman & Patrick Heinrich (eds.),Globalising sociolinguistics. Challenging and expanding theory, 16–35. London: Routledge) bookGlobalising sociolinguistics. Challenging and expanding theory. To this end, a basic condition must be met: both target languages and societies must be well known. This is not the case in much of Central and West Africa: with only few exceptions, here local languages and societies are generally under-researched and sociolinguistic studies have focused mainly on urban contexts, in most cases targeting the interaction between local and colonial languages. With regard to individual multilingualism, this urban-centered perspective risks to limit scholarly attention on processes that, while valid in cities, may not apply everywhere. For one thing, there might still be areas where one can find instances of endogenous multilingualism, where speakers’ language repertoires and ideologies are largely localised. The case in point is offered by the sociolinguistic situation found in Lower Fungom, a rural, marginal, and linguistically highly diverse area of North West Cameroon. The analyses proposed, stemming from a strongly ethnographic approach, lead to reconsider basic notions in mainstream sociolinguistics – such as that of the target of an index – crucially adding spiritual anxieties among the factors conditioning the development of individual multilingual repertoires in local languages.

Abstract:

This is the eleventh volume in the Blackwell series “Handbooks in Linguistics.” Of the previous ten, one was devoted to general sociolinguistics (Coulmas 1997), making this the first in the series to deal with a specific branch of sociolinguistics. For many scholars, variation theory (including the study of change in progress) is the heartland of sociolinguistics, though not everyone would go as far as Chambers 2003 in equating sociolinguistic theory with variation theory alone. As the earlier Blackwell handbook suggests, the field of sociolinguistics is broader than variation theory per se. However, considering the richness of the handbook under review, one can understand why variation theory should hold the high ground in sociolinguistics. The handbook comprises 29 chapters, divided into five sections: methodologies, linguistic structure, social factors, contact, and language and societies.

Abstract:

The development of Sociolinguistics has been qualitatively and quantitatively outstanding within Linguistic Science since its beginning in the 1950s, with a steady growth in both theoretical and methodological developments as well as in its interdisciplinary directions within the spectrum of language and society. Field methods in sociolinguistic studies have been motivated by the various research objectives pursued: sociological, sociolinguistic, or linguistic goals. The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) to provide a review of the theoretical movements within Sociolinguistics, and, on the basis of this review, (ii) to explore their consequences and implications on the research methods used in the field. This will be achieved by conducting both a retrospective synthesis of past developments and achievements, and an exploration of the current situation and of potential future developments.

Abstract:

Summary: In this article we analyse the sociolinguistic situation of Catalan in the Valencian region in the last two decades. The Servei d’Investigació i Estudis Sociolinguistics (The Department for Research and Sociolinguistc Studies), an official centre of the Department of Education of the Valencian Government, carried out the interviews which have been used in this study in 1992, 1995, 2005 and 2010. With this data, we have studied the evolution of the knowledge, usage and attitude Valencian people have with regard to their language. In general terms, the evolution of Catalan is shown to be negative, and its usage is decreasing in social and private spheres. The reasons for this decrease – which can be observed in relative figures – can be justified, on one hand, by the arrival of a great number of immigrants in this period and, on the other, by the political change which took place in 1995 in the Valencian Government, which has meant a regression in the process of linguistic recovery.

Abstract:

Although it is easy to do so, The sociolinguistics of sign languages (henceforth SSL) is not to be confused with Ceil Lucas's other books, The sociolinguistics of the deaf community (1989) and its sequels, the Sociolinguistics in Deaf Communities series. Whereas the latter volumes aim to present new research in the area of sociolinguistics pertaining to Deaf people and other users of sign languages, the book under review presents almost no new (to those already familiar with this field) information on aspects of sociolinguistic research on members of this language community. Instead, this book should more accurately be seen as a companion volume to her book (with Clayton Valli) Linguistics of American Sign Language: An introduction (2000; henceforth LASL). Like LASL, SSL is intended as a textbook for use in college-level courses dealing with linguistics (or a stand-alone course in sociolinguistics, as was Lucas's intention) of sign languages and Deaf communities.

Abstract:

AbstractThe paper surveys overlap between corpus linguistics and variationist sociolinguistics. Corpus linguistics is customarily defined as a methodology that bases claims about language on usage patterns in collections of naturalistic, authentic speech or text. Because this is what is typically done in variationist sociolinguistics work, I argue that variationist sociolinguists are by definition corpus linguists, though of course the reverse is not true: the variationist method entails more than merely analyzing usage data, and not all corpus analysts are interested in variation. But that being said, a considerable and arguably increasing number of corpus linguists not formally trained in variationist sociolinguistics are explicitly concerned with variation and engage in what I callcorpus-based variationist linguistics(CVL). I first discuss what unites or divides work in CVL and in variationist sociolinguistics. In a plea to cross subdisciplinary boundaries, I subsequently identify three research areas where variationist sociolinguists may draw inspiration from work in CVL: conducting multi-variable research, paying more attention to probabilistic grammars, and taking more seriously the register-sensitivity of variation patterns.

Abstract:

Abstract Whereas initially texts from the past were given relatively little attention in sociolinguistic studies, nowadays historical sociolinguistics as a discipline has come to maturity, too. A central notion in (historical) sociolinguistics is that of context: regrettably, however, there is still no generally accepted theory of how context can be captured and related to language. One of the few frameworks that has attempted to provide a coherent and unifying account is the so-called Functional Sociolinguistic framework. In this article, I illustrate the potential of this model for the study of Post-classical and Byzantine Greek complementation.

Abstract:

When sociolinguistic became the concern of linguists and sociologists alike, being a fertilized land for cultivation, the need became necessary to suggest a comprehensive sociolinguistic theory which deals with sociolinguistic research. Such theory should become a link between linguistics and sociology. The theory should sort out all the problems and phenomena which have been neglected by the theory. Such investigation resulted in many attempts in two dimensions: on one hand, understanding the sociological aspects of language, and on the other, understanding various linguistic aspects of society. Accordingly, many terms and concepts emerged into existence such as (macro and micro, sociolinguistics) which became centers of gravity within the area of sociolinguistics. Different aspects of sociolinguistic appear and increased in the lessons of the area. Such phenomena became more complicated with the development of the societies which later became a big impediment in suggesting a more comprehensive theory, characterized by stability according to necessity as the basic principles are unclear. The most obvious phenomena are language variation and linguistic disparity which cannot be recognized and differentiated clearly and became an area of misunderstanding regarding many sociolinguistic terms. Such terms have been neglected and have not been their due attention. Thus, their views and perspectives became vague, that is why the area requires a thorough investigation to identify many basic concepts in sociolinguistics.

Abstract:

Language is a social phenomenon and variation is inherent to its social nature. Recently, there has been a surge of interest within the computational linguistics (CL) community in the social dimension of language. In this article we present a survey of the emerging field of “computational sociolinguistics” that reflects this increased interest. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of CL research on sociolinguistic themes, featuring topics such as the relation between language and social identity, language use in social interaction, and multilingual communication. Moreover, we demonstrate the potential for synergy between the research communities involved, by showing how the large-scale data-driven methods that are widely used in CL can complement existing sociolinguistic studies, and how sociolinguistics can inform and challenge the methods and assumptions used in CL studies. We hope to convey the possible benefits of a closer collaboration between the two communities and conclude with a discussion of open challenges.

Abstract:

Until recently, the history of the Francophone sociolinguistics has known two dictionaries of sociolinguistic terms. The article provides the context of the development of a new dictionary of sociolinguistics edited by J. Boutet and J. Costa, published in Paris in 2021, the main purpose of which, according to the authors, is to reflect the current state of sociolinguistics. The brief description of the structure, as well as of the word-list of the dictionary, the analysis of the composition of the dictionary entry and specific examples of definitions allow us to draw conclusions about the peculiarities of the reviewed issue. In addition, this collective publication seems to be essential not only as a new tool for further research, but also as the confirmation of the active development of sociolinguistics as the independent branch of the science of language.

Abstract:

AbstractAs sociolinguistics continued to develop in the 1970s, members of the Council’s Committee on Sociolinguistics (1963–1979) reflected on the direction and intellectual impact of this emergent discipline. In this 1972 article, Dell Hymes, cochairman of the committee, describes several orientations toward the field among its practitioners, and argues for what he regarded as the most ambitious: a “socially constituted linguistics.” By this, Hymes meant a sociolinguistics that challenges linguistics’ core theoretical starting points of linguistic structure and grammar with a focus on the social meaning and functions of language in context. In relation to our “Sociolinguistic Frontiers” series, Hymes presciently argues that ultimately the field must address how inequality and language intersect, going “beyond means of speech and types of speech community to a concern with persons and social structure.”

Abstract:

Abstract Digital media have become a mainstream source of data for sociolinguistics, reflecting the ubiquity of such media and the centrality of their role in people’s everyday speech as well as changed attitudes towards what constitutes a valid object of study in sociolinguistics. As our personal and professional reality becomes more technologized, there is, however, an urgent need to engage with a deeper understanding of the current and evolving digital economy underpinning this reality in order to assess critically the data that we now encounter. Trends such as personalization, securitization, and hierarchization, for example, mean that the sociolinguistic data we encounter are increasingly shaped by users’ digital identities. In the current digital economy, language is a key tool for steering, recording, and tracking these identities, for example, in the form of algorithms; however, the sociolinguistic dimension to these processes has not yet been explored fully. As well as more integrated approaches to studying digital sociolinguistic data, our increasingly technologized reality demands that we build algorithmic reflexivity into our teaching and our research.

This paper explores the contexts of emergence and application of Cognitive Sociolinguistics. This novel field of scientific enquiry draws on the convergence of methods and theoretical frameworks typically associated with Cognitive Linguistics and Sociolinguistics. Here, we trace and systematize the key theoretical and epistemological bases for the emergence of Cognitive Sociolinguistics, by outlining main research strands and highlighting some challenges that face the development of this field. More specifically, we focus on the following terms and concepts which are foundational to the discussion of Cognitive Sociolinguistics: (i) usage-based linguistics and language-internal variation; (ii) rule-based vs. usage-based conceptions of language; (iii) meaning variation; (iv) categorization and prototypes; and (v) the interplay between language, culture, and ideology. Finally, we consider the benefits of taking a Cognitive Sociolinguistic perspective in research by looking at the actual studies that are presented in the current volume.

Abstract:

This research paper examines the challenges and strategies involved in developing sociolinguistic competence in elementary school pupils in Indonesia. Sociolinguistic competence is the capacity to use language appropriately in various social and cultural settings. Sociolinguistic education is an essential component of language education; however, implementing it in Indonesian elementary schools presents a few challenges, including the selection of suitable materials and activities, consideration of cultural diversity, and the development of effective teaching strategies. This paper proposes strategies for promoting sociolinguistic competence in Indonesian elementary school pupils through a literature review and analysis of extant sociolinguistics education programs. Utilizing authentic materials and activities pertinent to Indonesian culture and language, facilitating activities to develop critical thinking skills, and promoting inclusive and culturally responsive learning environments are some of the strategies employed. The paper concludes that sociolinguistics education can enhance students' language and social abilities, promote intercultural understanding and appreciation, and offers suggestions for future research in this area.

Abstract:

Takesi Sibata, the pioneer of sociolinguistic dialectology, anticipated several developments that we now apply internationally in the discipline of sociolinguistics. I outline Professor Sibata’s accomplishments from a Western perspective, but I am mainly interested in promoting wider appreciation of his work in the study of language variation. To do that, I review some of his analyses and show how Professor Sibata developed concepts that persist in contemporary sociolinguistics. I show that, for instance, about fifteen years before the inception of Western sociolinguistics, Professor Sibata was already engaged in studying sound change in apparent time, identifying linguistic innovators, eliciting folk concepts about dialects, and seeking empirical evidence for the critical period in dialect acquisition, as well as other pursuits that are now integral to our discipline.

With the rapid development of the Internet, Internet buzzwords have gradually entered sociolinguistics and become an important aspect of sociolinguistic research. Based on the criteria of timeliness and popularity, this paper obtains many novel 2022 Internet buzzword corpus through various online social platforms and friends around them, and finally selects two types of Internet buzzwords as research objects: “English homophonic mosaic”, “word family analogy” through sorting and classification of the obtained corpus, and attempts to analyze their specific manifestations and causes from the perspective of sociolinguistics.

Abstract:

This paper is a qualitative sociolinguistic study that theorizes the place of English as an official/second language in Pakistan. The data are taken from six Pakistani English newspapers covering the Pak-EU discourse from 2002 to 2018. This investigation uses constructivist grounded theory methodology (an off-shoot of grounded theory methodology) to generate a theory that shedslight on the peace potential of English language as used in the selected data. It is subsumed under the parameters of peace sociolinguistics, a relatively new field within the broader discipline of sociolinguistics. Peace sociolinguistics acknowledges all languages to be carriers of human values and capable of bringing different peoples together. In the classic style of grounded theorymethodology, primacy is given to language and codes are developed in order to show how English language is used to portray a common reality between two world entities, Pakistan and the EU. This sociolinguistic constructivist grounded theory study is underpinned by social constructionism which takes the view that language does not just describe the world but actively constructsit, having real consequences. The socially constructed reality presented here is shared and contextual and takes the form of a rigorous theory called “a theory of peace sociolinguistics of the EU-Pak discourse in selected Pakistani English newspapers.'' This theoretical rendering demonstrates the viability of English to be used for peaceful purposes while challenging the current dual status ofEnglish as a colonial legacy and a necessary agent of globalization.

Abstract:

Abstract “Identity” as an operating variable and/or explanatory concept continues to pervade sociolinguistic scholarship. This article reflects on and discusses the continuing dominance of post-structural and social constructionist accounts of identity and debates whether recent work has led to an “unrestrained embracing of speaker agency” (Bell 2017: 592) with a comparative neglect of social structure, or whether this work is contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between local meaning-making practices and macro-socio(linguistic) processes, and thereby challenging extant binaries in sociolinguistics, in particular: the treatment of stability versus fluidity, agency versus structure and the traditional dichotomy between micro- and macro-sociolinguistics. Reflecting on historical developments and recent trends, it outlines the significant contribution of theoretical models and empirical studies to sociolinguistics, whilst noting obvious gaps, e.g. insufficient studies of the Global South. It is argued that recent work is contributing to a sociolinguistics which foregrounds and problematises the concept of “context” and the contingency of difference and belonging. The paper also argues that recent identity scholarship opens up opportunities for cross-disciplinary projects, drawing on the combined expertise of sociolinguistics, cognitive sociologists and psycholinguists to explain inter alia such phenomena as fluidity and variation in speaker/community attitudes and practices.

Abstract:

Translating is sociolinguistic activity. We can define sociolinguistics as the study of language in relation to society, and this is how we shall be taking the term in this book. Sociolinguistics has become a recognized part of most courses at university level on 'linguistics' or 'language', and is indeed one of the main growth points in the study of language, from the point of view of both teaching and research. There are now major English-language journals devoted to research publications) and a number of introductory textbooks, apart from the present one.

Welcome to the first issue of Volume 6 of Lifespans & Styles: Undergraduate Papers in Sociolinguistics. This issue includes three papers that continue the journal’s mission of showcasing excellence in undergraduate research in sociolinguistics. What’s more, even though these papers were all researched prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, all stand as excellent examples of the kind of sociolinguistic research that can be done during a period of lockdown and social distancing: one is an analysis of a television show (Greene), one is an analysis of films and a television serial (Chan), and one is an analysis of a pre-existing linguistic corpus (Titheridge). These add to a number of papers in L&S that exemplify the kind of sociolinguistic research projects that are possible without face-to-face data collection.

Abstract:

Tourism has become one of the central phenomena of a post-modern society greatly owing to its liaison with language. Especially prominent is the link between tourism and English language which, being the global lingua franca, not only monopolises all negotiations/transactions that take place in a tourist destination, but also functions as a creator of a destination’s many realities, indeed as the very embodiment of processes in tourism. Over the past decade the multifunctionality of English in tourism has attracted considerable sociolinguistic research. This paper discusses the importance of merging sociolinguistics with the theory of tourism. The clear advantage of tourism scholars’ acceptance of sociolinguistics as an accredited field of study lies not only in developing new understandings of language/discourse in tourism but also in an increased transdisciplinarity of two perceivedly distant fields of study: sociolinguistics and tourism.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article attempts to establish the important links between Corsican sociolinguistics and Catalan sociolinguistics. To this end, it returns to the main characteristics of Catalan sociolinguistics through the notion of “diglossia” and “language conflict” it generates, notions that have largely fed minority studies. Moreover, the terms of the famous Catalan dilemma are clearly stated by the substitution of the dominated language or its normalization as inevitable outcomes of linguistic conflict. The reflection tries to establish the parallels between the various situations and the passage from the Catalan elaboration of a conceptual tooling in a situation of domination to the Corsican sociolinguistic and political fields. Finally, we propose to re-evaluate the initial Catalan conceptual framework in order to better adapt it to the Corsican situation, notably by showing some limits of this framework in terms of diglossic polarities and representations.

Abstract:

The relevant issues of Kyrgyz Sociolinguistics were analyzed in the proposed article. There have been great changes in the language area of Kyrgyzstan after gaining independence. The use of the state language in all domains, the improvement of language policy, as well as the language situation in the language space, the improvement of minority languages, exogloss balanced, exogloss unbalanced language situations and language changes are reflected in this article. Since Kyrgyzstan is a multinational, multi-confessional country, it is necessary to develop a flexible language policy. Thus, it is believed that sociolinguistics and sociolinguists make a great contribution to solving new issues in recent years. To some extent, this article also examines the issues of bilingualism and multilingualism in society.

The Internet buzzword containing a lot of Chinglish is a new form of language generated in the context of the rapid development and wide spread of the Internet. A large number of Internet buzzwords, which is different from the traditional media language, correspond with the trend of the time as well as meet the satisfaction of people’s language demands. As an academic discipline, the main purpose of sociolinguistic is to study the relationship between people’s language and the social condition. This paper will illustrate the Chinglish in the Internet buzzword from the perspective of sociolinguistics. Keywords: Chinglish, Internet buzzword, sociolinguistics

Abstract:

This article presents an overview of sociolinguistic research in the Dutch-speaking community of the Netherlands and Belgium. The overview is based on the contributions to the 4th Sociolinguistic Conference held in March 2003, after three earlier conferences in 1991, 1995 and 1999. Compared to the earlier conferences, the 2003 conference shows an increased number of papers, due to an increased involvement of Flemish researchers. In terms of sociolinguistic subdisciplines, the main developments are a decrease in the research of multilingualism and language contact, and a steady flow over the years of linguistic variation research, and of interaction and discourse studies. The most striking development, however, is the fact that almost half of the papers at the conference (49%) are concerned with aspects of Dutch and Belgian multicultural and multilingual society. Again 76% of this body of research is concerned with education. For this reason the authors survey the present-day relation between sociolinguistics and applied linguistics. They conclude that in the Dutch-speaking community and internationally, applied linguistics has developed into a field that encompasses sociolinguistics and presents a stage for the presentation of sociolinguistic research.

Abstract:

This review provides a state-of-the-art overview of Spanish sociolinguistics and discusses several areas, including variationist sociolinguistics, bilingual and immigrant communities, and linguistic ethnography. We acknowledge many recent advances and the abundant research on several classic topics, such as phonology, morphosyntax, and discourse-pragmatics. We also highlight the need for research on understudied phenomena and emphasize the importance of combining both quantitative and ethnographic methodologies in sociolinguistic research. Much research on Spanish has shown that the language's wide variation across the globe is a reflection of Spanish-speaking communities’ rich sociohistorical and demographic diversity. Yet, there are many areas where research is needed, including bilingualism in indigenous communities, access to bilingual education, attitudes toward speakers of indigenous languages, and language maintenance and attrition. Language policy, ideology, and use in the legal and health care systems have also become important topics of sociolinguistics today as they relate to issues of human rights.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to such a research area as the economics of language. The economics of language is a relatively young science. It is located at the intersection of sociolinguistics and economics. The economics of language has been developing since the 1960s, and it still remains insufficiently studied and underestimated by both sociolinguists and economists. Unfortunately, there are very few scientific studies in this area so far and they are conducted mainly by foreign authors. In addition, as many researchers note, sociolinguistics and economics develop individually, although many aspects of sociolinguistics have clear economic dimensions. The article discusses the concept of the economics of language, gives a detailed description of the history of the formation of this scientific direction, provides an analysis of the works of foreign and Russian scientists, and describes the main areas of research.

Abstract:

This paper integrates aspects of both generative theory and variationist sociolinguistics. To compare the structure of two varieties of French (Acadian French and Laurentian French), I adapt the comparative sociolinguistics approach to compare the syntactic structure of these varieties. Specifically, I focus on the effects of a single linguistic constraint across multiple sociolinguistic variables. I argue that such a comparison provides insights into the underlying grammatical structures of the varieties under comparison, differences that may have remained hidden otherwise. To illustrate the approach, I focus on a single constraint, sentential polarity, and I analyze its effects on two sociolinguistic variables, yes/no questions and future temporal reference. Results show that the polarity constraint is operative in Laurentian French for both variables, but inoperative in Acadian French. To account for this difference, I argue that Laurentian French negative structures involve a negative head above the tense phrase while Acadian French does not.

Abstract:

This study was aimed at analyzing the sociolinguistic phenomena during the implementation of the direct method in Arabic language learning at PP Al Iman Putri. The method used in this study was a case study method with a qualitative approach. The results of this study reveal that the sociolinguistics contributes to language learning, i.e., sociolinguistics as is a sub-discipline that studies language related to social factors to be the main provision for students when they pursue their studies in Middle Eastern countries. Sociolinguistics phenomena found in learning Arabic through the direct method were carried out by the means of various linguistic activities i.e., morning dialogue activity, correction of incorrect or inappropriate vocabularies, Arabic speech, learning activities using Arabic (with direct method), language court program (a program held by language department to punish those who do not use Arabic in their daily communication), Arabic drama, Arabic story telling, news reading in Arabic, Arabic vocabulary, and competition of nahwu and sharf (Arabic grammar) and mahfudzat.
