Ethnolinguistics studies the relationship between language and culture, and how different groups perceive the world. It examines how perception and conceptualization influence language and are linked to different cultures. For example, some cultures name cardinal directions based on sunrise/sunset, while others use geographic landmarks. Cultural Linguistics also explores this relationship, viewing language as encoding cultural schemas and models, with applications in intercultural communication and language learning.

Language, society and culture
This document discusses sociolinguistics and the relationship between language and society. It explains that speech communities share linguistic norms and expectations, and that language varies based on social factors like class, education, age, gender, ethnicity, and style/register. Variations include social dialects, over and covert prestige, as well as differences in formal and informal registers depending on the context and audience.
Language variartion and varities of language
This document discusses language variation and the different types of language varieties. It defines varieties as forms of language that differ in pronunciation, vocabulary, or grammar between regions, social classes, or functions. The key varieties discussed are standard language, dialects, registers, pidgins, creoles, classical languages, and lingua francas. Standard language is used widely for official purposes, while dialects vary regionally or among social groups. Registers differ based on social or occupational context. Pidgins emerge for communication between groups with no shared language, and creoles develop when pidgins are passed to children as a native language.
Sociolinguistics Speech Communities
The document discusses the concept of speech communities. It defines a speech community as a group of people who share similar language ideas, uses and norms. It notes that members of a speech community use language according to a set of shared norms and characteristics. The document outlines key elements of speech communities including population, area, facilities, identification and interaction. It also discusses sociolinguistic variables that can cause one to belong to one speech community and not another, such as age, social class, education and others.
Theories Of The Origins Of Language By Rabia
There are several theories about the origins of human language:
1) Onomatopoeic theories propose that early sounds imitated environmental noises like animal calls.
2) Instinctive sound theories suggest language emerged from instinctive noises people made.
3) Symbolism theories postulate language developed from reacting to one's surroundings.
4) Physical need theories claim communal grunts from tasks evolved into chants.
5) Romantic theories argue language originated from the romantic aspects of human life.
Scientific approaches study language formation through glossogenetics and paleontological evidence. Comparisons of ancient human fossils show physiological capacity for speech in early humans.
Hstorical Linguistics
The document discusses two main branches of linguistics:
1) Historical linguistics studies how languages change over time. It focuses on connections between languages and their historical development.
2) Descriptive linguistics investigates the structure of language at a single point in time without considering historical changes.
Historical linguistics and descriptive linguistics are interdependent, as the current state of a language is influenced by its history and synchronic variations can lead to diachronic changes.

Language maintenance
The document discusses factors that influence language maintenance or loss. It summarizes Giles, Bourhis and Taylor's model which identifies three main factors: 1) Status - including economic, social, and language status, 2) Demographic factors like population size and distribution, and 3) Institutional support through representation of the minority language in various institutions. Additional linguistic factors like standardization and cultural factors like emphasis on ethnic identity and community also influence whether a language is maintained or lost.
Lingua francas
This document discusses lingua francas, which are common languages used for communication between groups that do not share a native language. It provides examples of historical and current lingua francas, including English, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic. English has become the most widely spoken lingua franca due to factors like British colonialism, the world wars, and its use in domains such as business, media, and science. Other languages have served as lingua francas in different regions and eras depending on geographical, historical, political and commercial influences. The choice of lingua franca depends on the linguistic backgrounds and needs of the communicating groups.

"Linguistics is a Science"
Linguistics may be defined as the scientific study of human natural language which involves the study of the nature, structure and variation of language, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, socio-linguistics, bio-linguistics and pragmatics.
Since linguistics is considered to be scientific study of natural human languages, we need to know the scientific approaches to carry out studies in this field.
Introduction to psycholinguistics
This document discusses psycholinguistics and language acquisition. It addresses the general issues of psycholinguistics including language acquisition, production, comprehension, and the relationship between language and thought. It then focuses on first and second language acquisition. It describes two notions in first language acquisition: overgeneralization and undergeneralization. Some examples of each are provided. Reasons for overgeneralization and undergeneralization are discussed. Stages of first language acquisition are outlined. The document concludes by discussing whether children are better than adults at learning a second language and comparing natural and classroom settings for second language learning.
SOCIOLINGUISTICS:Language Maintenance, Shift and Death
This document discusses several topics related to language contact, borrowing, maintenance, shift, and death. It defines key terms like borrowing, language maintenance, and language shift. It also identifies several factors that can influence language shift, such as demographic, attitude/value, economic, social/political factors. Finally, it discusses different types of language death like gradual, sudden, radical, and bottom-to-top death and identifies several causes of rapid language loss and endangerment on a global scale, including natural/environmental causes, political/military causes, social causes, language policy causes, cultural/religious causes, and linguistic causes.

Pidgins creoles - sociolinguistics
This document provides an overview of pidgins and creoles. It defines pidgins as contact languages that arise between distinct linguistic groups for communication, featuring reduced grammar and vocabulary. Creoles develop from pidgins when a new generation acquires the contact language as its native tongue, expanding its structure. The document outlines the processes of pidginization and creolization, and notes that creoles may decreolize over time to resemble the standard language. It provides examples of pidgins and creoles, and a model of their life cycle from jargon to creole and possible convergence with the standard form.

sociolinguistic
This document discusses various linguistic concepts related to sociolinguistics. It begins by explaining that language serves a social function in helping establish relationships and convey information about speakers. It then discusses the differences between language and dialect, as well as dialect and accent. Several key concepts are defined, including speech communities, communicative competence, linguistic variables, and constraints on linguistic variation. Methods of sociolinguistic data collection and analysis are outlined. Studies examining linguistic variation related to social factors are summarized. The concepts of style shifting, accommodation theory, dialect contact and levelling are also covered.
Introduction to linguistics lec 1
This document provides an introduction to the field of linguistics. It defines linguistics as the scientific study of language and discusses how it differs from traditional grammar in being descriptive rather than prescriptive. The document outlines the scope of linguistics, dividing it into micro- and macrolinguistics. Microlinguistics includes the study of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Macrolinguistics encompasses sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics and other fields. It also discusses the usefulness of linguistics for students of language, teachers and researchers.
Sapir Whorf hypothesis
The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis proposes that the structure of a language affects its speakers' worldview or cognition. It includes two principles: 1) Linguistic determinism, that language determines thought, and 2) Linguistic relativity, that different languages encourage different ways of understanding the world. Debate exists around whether language truly determines thought or just influences it. While some studies support the hypothesis, others have found universal patterns of thought across languages. The hypothesis remains an area of interest in linguistics but is seen as too extreme in its strongest claims.
Language Planning and Policy
Language planning and policy aim to address issues that newly independent post-colonial states face regarding their multi-ethnic populations and national identity, including what languages to adopt officially. After independence, Algeria's leaders followed a nationalist model and decided to promote Arabic through Arabization policies to help unify the country under their regime. Arabization imposed Arabic in administration, education, and public sector work to standardize the country's language and culture. It was a process that elevated Arabic from a foreign language to the national language of Algeria.
Introduction to linguistics ppt
This document provides an introduction to the study of linguistics. It defines language as a system of symbols used for communication that is learned through cultural transmission rather than instinct. Experts define language as a human method of communicating ideas through a voluntary system of symbols. Key characteristics of human language include interchangeability, productivity, and cultural transmission. Linguistics is the scientific study of language, including areas like phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax.
Applied linguisticss
Applied linguistics is the scientific study of language in real world contexts. It involves applying theories of linguistics to understand and solve language-related problems. Applied linguistics draws from fields like linguistics, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics. It focuses on areas such as second language teaching and language testing. Applied linguistics aims to investigate language learning and teaching issues and find practical solutions. It has played an important role in addressing language problems faced by people around the world.

Introduction to Soicolinguistics
The document discusses sociolinguistics and language variation. It defines sociolinguistics as the systematic study of language in society, focusing on how individuals and groups use language in social contexts. There are three main perspectives in sociolinguistics: geographic, examining regional dialects; anthropological, studying the relationship between language, culture and thought; and sociological, analyzing the link between social relations and language varieties. Speech communities are groups that share the same or similar language varieties. Varieties include dialects, sociolects, and idiolects, which differ by region, social class, gender, age, and ethnicity at the lexical, phonological and syntactic levels. Pidgins are simplified mixed languages for basic communication between
Language, culture and thought
This document discusses the relationship between language, culture, and thought. It makes three key points:
1. Culture can be defined as the knowledge that is learned from other people, either through direct instruction or observation. Since language is learned from others, it is closely connected to culture.
2. Concepts and meanings that underlie language are based on a person's general knowledge and concepts. Understanding language relies on shared knowledge between speakers and listeners.
3. Some concepts and categories may be organized differently in different languages due to cultural differences. While core meanings of words are often shared across languages and cultures, there can be variation, especially in more peripheral concepts. Prototypes provide a framework for analyzing these differences
Language Shift and Language Maintenance
The document discusses language shift, which is a change from using one language to using another, more dominant language. This often occurs among immigrant families and communities. It provides examples of language shift occurring among Coptic speakers in Egypt and Hungarian speakers in Austria. Language shift happens for various social, economic, political and demographic reasons, and it can ultimately lead to language loss or even death if a language is no longer spoken. Maintaining positive attitudes about a minority language and frequent use of it can help prevent language shift.
The renaissance & language change
The Renaissance began in Italy in the 15th century and spread throughout Europe by the 17th century. It was a period of cultural, artistic, political, and scientific "rebirth" as European scholars rediscovered many classical Greek and Roman ideas and works of art. During this time, over 10,000-12,000 new words entered the English language as ideas and knowledge spread. The Renaissance significantly impacted art, religion, language, and society as new ways of thinking emerged that questioned traditional religious authorities and emphasized naturalism, humanism, and individual thought and expression.
Language maintenance and Shift.
This document discusses language maintenance and shift. It defines language maintenance as the continuing use of a minority language in the face of a dominant language, while language shift refers to one language displacing another in a community's linguistic repertoire. The document then examines factors that can contribute to language shift, including the prestige of the dominant language, economic pressures, and institutional domains like schools. It analyzes language shift patterns among migrant minorities, non-migrant minorities, and migrant majorities. Finally, it discusses factors that accelerate language shift and ways that minority languages can be maintained, such as through community ties, contact with homelands, institutional support, and positive language attitudes.
Creole
This document discusses creoles and pidgins from linguistic and social perspectives. It defines creoles as pidgins that have acquired native speakers, arising through extended contact between language groups where one dominates. Creoles provide insights into the origins and identities of their speaker communities. The document also discusses decreolization as the process where a creole converges over time with a dominant standard language. Key terms related to decreolization include basilect, acrolect, mesolect and post-creole continuum. The process of creolization whereby a pidgin develops into a creole through generations acquiring it as a first language is also examined.
An Outline Of The History Of Linguistics
Linguistics began developing in antiquity with early traditions arising in Mesopotamia, India, Greece, and Rome in response to language change. These traditions focused on grammar and morphology through word lists and rules of word formation. In the Middle Ages, interest in vernacular languages grew in Europe alongside Latin. By the 15th century, European colonialism exposed scholars to many new languages, facilitating comparisons and the eventual establishment of the comparative method for recognizing language families such as Indo-European.

The document discusses several key topics in linguistics:
1. Linguistics is the scientific study of language, examining its nature, structure, units, and modifications. It emerged in the 19th century to emphasize a newer approach focusing on spoken language compared to traditional philology.
2. Philology refers to the study of written records, establishing their authenticity and meaning. It involves reconstructing imperfect texts by comparing variants and interpreting information about history, culture, language and literature.
3. Linguistics can be divided into descriptive/synchronic versus historical/diachronic approaches, theoretical versus applied areas, and micro- versus macrolinguistics. Various specialized fields within macrolinguistics are

Saussure distinguishes between synchronic (static) linguistics and diachronic (evolutionary) linguistics. Synchronic linguistics refers to studying language at a single point in time, focusing on the relationships between elements within the system. Diachronic linguistics refers to studying language change over periods of time by comparing states separated by time. Saussure viewed language as having an inner duality manifested through the interaction of the synchronic and diachronic.
Module 1
The document discusses the history and development of the field of historical linguistics. It explains that historical linguistics studies how languages change over time and are related to one another. Traditional historical linguistics focused on documenting past language changes, while modern historical linguistics examines the social and cultural factors that influence language change. The history of the English language reflects the cultural and political influences of groups like the Romans, Vikings, and Normans that have shaped its vocabulary and grammar over many centuries.
Historical linguistics introduction
Historical linguistics studies how languages change over time through successive stages. It examines changes in languages from earlier forms to modern forms. The primary tool of historical linguistics is the comparative method, which is used to identify relationships among languages and reconstruct prehistoric proto-languages. Historical linguistics serves as the foundation for comparative linguistics. Some key causes of language change include sound changes through articulatory simplification, analogy and reanalysis in morphology, language contact and borrowing, and sociological factors influencing adoption of innovations. Subfields of historical linguistics include comparative linguistics, etymology, dialectology, phonology, morphology, and syntax.
History of applied linguistic
Applied linguistics began in the 1950s with the founding of the University of Edinburgh School of Applied Linguistics in 1956 and the Center of Applied Linguistics in Washington D.C. in 1957. The British Association of Applied Linguistics was formally established in 1967 to promote the study of language use, acquisition, and teaching. Applied linguistics is concerned with the role of language in people's lives and problems associated with language use, drawing from linguistics as well as other fields like education, sociology, and anthropology. It differs from linguistics in that linguistics focuses only on describing language itself, while applied linguistics seeks to address real-world language issues.

This document discusses the origin and spread of languages. It begins by proposing a new "Wholly-independent Multi-Regional hypothesis" for the origin of humans and languages that challenges existing theories. It then examines the origins of spoken and written languages in different historical contexts and proposes an "Epochal Polygenesis" approach. The document also introduces several new concepts to describe the contact-based and non-contact based spread of languages. Finally, it emphasizes the need for continuous reassessment of language dynamics theories to incorporate new lessons learned.What is anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present. It is divided into four main subfields: physical/biological anthropology which studies human evolution and biology; cultural anthropology which includes archaeology, linguistics, and ethnology to understand human cultures and societies; linguistics which examines the structure and development of human languages; and applied anthropology which uses anthropological knowledge and methods to analyze and address real-world problems. Anthropologists seek to understand humans as a whole through interdisciplinary and holistic research on our biology, behaviors, beliefs, and environments over time and across cultures.

It examines how national values and traditions shape language and thought over time. Ethnolinguistics also examines the link between language and culture, but focuses more on studying the languages of tribes, dialects, and cultural groups. Sociolinguistics traditionally considered these issues as well. Comparative linguoculturology is an emerging field that investigates cultural displays in different but related ethnic groups by comparing linguistic elements like myths, rituals, folklore texts that reflect similarities and differences in cultures.

Oikonyms as a Research Object of Linguoculturology
In the article, the development of linguoculturology in the linguistics, its researchers, the importance of learning the toponyms, including oikonyms in a lingucultural orientation were mentioned. Also, the study of oikonyms in Russian and Turkish linguistics in a linguocultural, ethno cultural orientation by linguists, and the discussion of related opinions were analyzed. The service of the oikonyms as a unit that radiates cultural knowledge, history, and social relations of the ethnos has been revealed.

Language in Glocal Cultural Context
The Paper tries to unveil the vital actions and counteractions of language and culture upon each other. A language neither can originate nor live without the culture. Language and culture, thus, are inseparable. Language rolls on the concrete passage of time encountering many alike and opposite processes like a culture, de cultures and re culture and gathers moss. Particularly, in post colonial context Odia language encounters some radical changes and reaps new products with respect to words, morphology, prefixes, suffixes and many more things. In post colonial context, we encounter a special kind of language called ‘hybrid language or ‘glocal language. The paper emphasizes the dimensions of language change with a global perspective as well as with local perspectives.

A stylistic analysis of ekun iyawo
This document provides a stylistic analysis of "Ekun Iyawo", a sub-genre of oral poetry sung by brides in Yoruba culture as they prepare to leave for their husband's home. The analysis examines the poem's use of poetic devices like alliteration, anadiplosis, anaphora, and epiphora. It also discusses the syntactic elements and how the poem fulfills the ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions of language based on Halliday's framework. The analysis concludes that "Ekun Iyawo" is an important part of marriage ceremonies in Yoruba culture and this tradition should be upheld.
Sujay On the origin of spoken language final final final.pdf
This document discusses the origin and spread of languages from ancient to modern times. It proposes a new "Epochal Polygenesis" approach to understanding language evolution, which argues that languages originated from multiple independent sources. The document provides an overview of early theories on language origins and the development of linguistics as a field of study over time. It also introduces several new concepts to analyze contact-based and non-contact based scenarios of language spread, including theories about linguistic osmosis and the influence of historical and political factors.
Sujay on the origin of spoken language final final final
This paper purports to be a starting point to revisit existing approaches dealing with the origin and spread of languages in the light of the changed circumstances of the Twenty-first century without in any way undermining their applicability across space and time. The origin of spoken languages is intricately and inseparably interwoven and intertwined with the origin of human species as well, and in this paper, we propose a ‘Wholly-independent Multi-Regional hypothesis of the origin of Homo sapiens’ in response to both the highly-controversial and arguably antiquated ‘Out-of-Africa theory’ which we have stridently and vehemently opposed, along with all its protuberances and the contending Multi-Regional Hypothesis as well. The key tenets of this paper are therefore articulated based on this fundamental premise which is likely to upend existing presumptions and paradigms to a significant degree. Having said that, we must hasten to add that the evolutionary biology of language encompassing physical anthropology or genetics and other related areas of study, are wholly outside the purview of this paper. Structural linguistics and semantics are also outside the scope of this paper. In this paper, we examine the origins of spoken and written languages in pre-historic, proto-historic, historic, pre-globalized and post-globalized contexts and propose an ‘Epochal Polygenesis’ approach. As a part of this paper, we also provide a broad overview of early and current theories of the origin and spread of languages so that readers can compare our approaches with already existing ones and analyse the similarities and differences between the two. We propose and define several new concepts under the categories of contact-based scenarios and non-contact based scenarios such as the autochthonous origin of languages, the spread of properties of languages from key nodes, the ‘Theory of linguistic osmosis’ and the need to take historical and political factors into account while analysing the spread of languages. In this paper, we also propose among others, the ‘Theory of win-win paradigms’ and the ‘Net benefits approach’. We also emphasize the need to carry out a diachronic and synchronic assessment of the dynamics of languages spread and propose that this be made a continuous process so that the lessons learnt can be used to tweak and hone theories and models to perfection. This paper is likely to significantly up the ante in favour of a dynamics-driven approach by undermining the relative torpor now observed in this arguably vital sub-discipline and contribute greatly to the rapidly emerging field of language dynamics. We also hope that synchronic linguistics will finally get its due place under the sun in the post-globalised world, and will become a major driving force in linguistics in the Twenty-First Century.

Ethnolinguistic
- 2. Ethnolinguistics (sometimes called cultural linguistics) is a field of linguistics which studies the relationship between language and culture, and the way different ethnic groups perceive the world. It is the combination between ethnology and linguistics.
- 3. Ethnolinguists study the way perception and conceptualization influences language, and show how this is linked to different cultures and societies. An example is the way spatial orientation is expressed in various cultures. In many societies, words for the cardinal directions east and west are derived from terms for sunrise/sunset. The nomenclature for cardinal directions of Inuit speakers of Greenland, however, is based on geographical landmarks such as the river system and one's position on the coast. Similarly, the Yurok lack the idea of cardinal directions; they orient themselves with respect to their principal geographic feature, the Klamath River.
- 4. Cultural Linguistics (capitalized) refers to a related branch of linguistics that explores the relationship between language, culture, and conceptualisation. Cultural Linguistics draws on, but is not limited to, the theoretical notions and analytical tools of cognitive linguistics and cognitive anthropology.
- 5. Central to the approach of Cultural Linguistics are notions of "cultural schema" and "cultural model". It examines how various features of language encode cultural schemas and cultural models. In Cultural Linguistics, language is viewed as deeply entrenched in the group-level, cultural cognition of communities of speakers. Thus far, the approach of Cultural Linguistics has been adopted in several areas of applied linguistic research, including intercultural communication, second language learning.
