Basic Concepts In Sociolinguistics

Authors : Benzoukh Halima .

Abstract

In this paper, we will try to find out the essence of the social function of language. Language and society are intertwined because a society moves with language. A language defines the linguistic behaviour of a group of people in a given society. We will find out what sociolinguistics means by examining various definitions and unearth their points of convergence.
