Language and context
This presentation is about language and context prepared from "Sociolinguistics: An introduction to language and society" by Peter Trudgil.
What is Sociolinguistics? Explain Its Scope and Origin. BS. English (4th Seme...
Sociolinguistics is the study of how language and society interact and influence each other. It examines how factors like ethnicity, religion, gender, age, and education impact language variations between groups. Sociolinguistics originated in the late 1960s from fields like dialectology, historical linguistics, and language contact, incorporating influences from sociology and psychology. Key figures like Labov, Hymes, and Cameron contributed to establishing sociolinguistics as an independent subject concerned with both the social and structural aspects of language use. Sociolinguistics can be divided into micro- and macro-levels, with micro focusing on individual language variations and macro analyzing language patterns at the societal level.
Styles & registers
This document discusses styles and registers in language. It defines styles as varieties of language used for specific purposes, often analyzed on a scale of formality. Five levels of formality are described, ranging from oratorical style for public speaking to intimate style between close friends and family with no social inhibitions. Registers are varieties associated with occupational or socioeconomic groups, like legalese or the language of sports commentators. Verbal and nonverbal communication are also discussed, with nonverbal communication including body language, facial expressions, eye contact, space/proximity, artifacts, touch, and olfactory dimensions like smell.
Diglossia
I am a lecturer in English at Khawaja Fared Govt. College Rahim Yar Khan. Here is my humble effort to discuss Diglossia.
Code switching &; code mixing
The document defines various linguistic terms related to code switching including code, monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual. It then discusses types of code switching such as inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag code switching. Finally, it outlines some common reasons for code switching such as to fulfill a need, show solidarity, reflect social status, based on topic, to express affection, and to persuade an audience.
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.
Principles of parameters
The document discusses the principles and parameters framework for language acquisition proposed by Chomsky and Lasnik. It explains that universal grammar consists of a finite set of principles common to all languages and a finite set of parameters that determine variation between languages. Children acquire language by learning the parameter settings of their native language based on innate linguistic principles. The document provides examples of parameters like head directionality and the pro-drop parameter. It also discusses how phrase structure rules and lexical subcategorization frames realize principles within syntactic structure.
Diglossia
This document discusses the concept of diglossia, which refers to a situation where two varieties of the same language exist side by side within a speech community. It introduces diglossia and defines it as a stable language situation where a community uses a primary dialect as well as a divergent, codified superposed variety used for formal purposes like education, writing, and official spoken contexts. It then discusses different aspects of diglossia, including the functions of high vs low varieties, prestige and acquisition of the varieties, standardization efforts, differences in grammar, lexicon, and phonology between varieties. The document concludes that in diglossia, no one speaks the high variety as a mother tongue.

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
Diglossia
Diglossia refers to a stable language situation where two varieties of the same language are used by a language community. The high variety (H) has prestige and is used for formal, written communication while the low variety (L) lacks prestige and is used for informal, spoken communication. Some key aspects of diglossia include the high variety having prestige, a literary heritage, acquisition through formal education, standardization, a simpler grammar in the low variety, differing lexicons between the varieties, and the high variety having a divergent sound system from the low variety.
01 sociolinguistic
This document discusses the topic of sociolinguistics. It defines sociolinguistics as the study of language use in society and how language interacts with and helps shape social structures. The document outlines three subcategories of sociolinguistic study: micro-sociolinguistics, macro-sociolinguistics, and three areas of sociolinguistic research - language variation, language contact, and linguistic relativity. It provides examples of research within these areas and discusses implications for language teaching.
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.
Sociolinguistics
This document discusses language choice and code-switching in multilingual communities. It begins by outlining the goals of the chapter, which are to examine choosing language varieties or codes, the concept of diglossia, and code-switching. An example is provided of Kalala, who speaks several languages in his community, including Shi, Swahili, standard Zairean Swahili, kingwana, and Indoubil, choosing codes based on social factors. Diglossia is defined as two languages or dialects used by a single community for different functions. Code-switching occurs when a speaker alternates between languages or varieties in a single conversation, motivated by social factors and participant identity.
Language and social variation
This document discusses language variation and the relationship between language and society. It introduces key concepts such as speech communities, sociolinguistics, social dialects, linguistic variables, and registers. Social factors like class, education, occupation, and context can influence the way people speak. The document also discusses concepts like convergence, divergence, prestige, jargon, slang, vernacular languages, and provides examples of linguistic features in African American Vernacular English.
Code Switching & Codee Mixing
This document discusses code switching and borrowing in sociolinguistics. It defines code switching as using more than one language or variety within an utterance. There are three types of code switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and extra-sentential. Code switching serves directive, expressive, referential, phatic, metlinguistic, and poetic functions. Borrowing occurs when a word is adopted from another language and naturalized. There are direct and core types of borrowing. Social factors that influence code switching and borrowing include situation, participant attitudes, topics, quoting others, group identity, and lexical need.
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.
Introduction to sosiolinguistics
This document provides an introduction to sociolinguistics. It discusses how sociolinguistics examines the relationship between language and society, exploring how social factors influence language use and how language variations exist between social groups. Some key topics covered include the differences between micro and macrolinguistics, sociolinguistics versus the sociology of language, social factors that determine language choice like participants and setting, and social dimensions of language like solidarity scales. The conclusion emphasizes that sociolinguistics research how language is used in a community and how social relationships and contexts influence linguistic variation and choices in vocabulary, sounds, words and grammar.
Applied linguistics presentation
The document discusses applied linguistics and interdisciplines. It defines applied linguistics as using linguistic theories and methods to solve language problems in other fields. The history of applied linguistics is discussed, along with its aims to study language learning and teaching and solve related problems. Interdisciplines that applied linguistics interacts with are sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and various applied areas like education, speech therapy, computing, and international relations.
Sociolinguistics
This document discusses the history and relationships between sociolinguistics and other related disciplines. It outlines that sociolinguistics emerged from the work of scholars like William Labov, Basil Bernstein, Dell Hymes, John Gumperz, Charles Ferguson, and Joshua Fishman in the 1960s-1970s. It also describes how sociolinguistics is linked to linguistics, sociology, pragmatics, and anthropology by examining the social influences on language use.
Language standardization: How and why
The document discusses language standardization, including how and why languages become standardized. It notes that standardization is a prescriptive process that develops a standard variety of a language. Languages typically become standardized through resources like dictionaries, grammars, pronunciation guides from linguistic institutions, constitutional status as an official language, use in public domains like courts and schools, literary works, and popularity/acceptance in the community. Establishing a standard variety aims to promote national cohesion. The standard variety often reflects the language of higher socioeconomic groups. Examples are given of standardization processes and debates in countries like Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde. Related scientific papers and books on topics like the politics of standardization and its
Mutual intelligibility
Mutual intelligibility refers to the extent that speakers of related languages or dialects can understand each other without special training. It is sometimes used as a criterion to distinguish languages from dialects, with dialects being mutually intelligible and languages not. However, this characterization is problematic, as some languages like Scandinavian tongues are mutually intelligible while some dialects of languages like German are not. Degree of mutual intelligibility and non-linguistic political/historical factors can also influence whether related varieties are considered languages or dialects. Mutual intelligibility is not an absolute criterion.
Standard language, and standardization
Standard language is an official form of a language used in formal situations like newspapers, education, and public speeches. It is created through a process of standardization where a public written form of the language is established and codified so that it is accessible to all speakers. Standardization can occur naturally or be imposed, and involves selecting a standard dialect or variety and establishing rules for its usage. Standard languages represent conformity and are important symbols of social class and upbringing.
Gardners Model
Gardner's 1985 socio-educational model of second language acquisition emphasized the importance of socio-economic and cultural contexts. According to the model, second language learning differs from other subjects as it involves acquiring elements of another culture. The model shows how individual differences like intelligence, aptitude, motivation and anxiety interact with social contexts and influence linguistic and non-linguistic learning outcomes. A revised 1993 model added language attitudes and distinguished between the roles of formal and informal language learning contexts.
Speech communities
The document discusses sociolinguistic concepts such as speech communities, dialects, and linguistic repertoires. It notes that language is both an individual and social possession, and that communities are defined by their relationships with other communities. Speech communities refer to groups that share linguistic forms and can differentiate themselves from other speakers based on social, cultural, or ethnic attributes. Individual language use depends on one's place of origin or speech community.
Code-Mixing and Code Switching
This document provides background information on code switching and code mixing. It discusses how code switching occurs when speakers alternate between two languages in a conversation, while code mixing happens when elements of both languages are used within a single utterance. The document then outlines the objectives, limitations, research problems, theoretical framework and methodology used to analyze code switching and code mixing in the novel "Love You Anyway". It identifies three types of code switching - tag, inter-sentential, and intra-sentential - and two types of code mixing - intra-sentential and extra-sentential. Potential reasons for code switching/mixing discussed include discussing specific topics, quoting others, emphasis, clarification and expressing group identity.
Language revitalization presentation
The document discusses language revitalization and summarizes how Sanskrit, as an example of a "dead language", has undergone aspects of revitalization such as increased use through expansion into new domains like the internet. It provides background on Sanskrit's historical importance and influence on other languages as well as current state efforts and recognition to promote the language.
Politeness - Pragmatic
This document discusses linguistic politeness and face. It explains that Brown and Levinson theorized that all cultures have a need to be polite in order to maintain face, which refers to one's public self-image and expectations of how one wishes to be treated. The document outlines that people behave as if their face wants, or expectations of self-image, will be respected by others. It also discusses that speakers can perform face-threatening acts and face-saving acts in their language use. Face-threatening acts are those that damage another's face, while face-saving acts are ways of speaking that lessen threats to another's face.
INTR.-TO-SOCIOLINGUISTICS.pptx
This document outlines the course description and objectives for a postgraduate Sociolinguistics course. The course will cover major theoretical approaches to the study of language and society including variational sociolinguistics, ethnography of communication, and interactional sociolinguistics. Topics such as pidgins/creoles, multilingualism, and language/culture will also be explored. The objectives are to increase students' understanding of sociolinguistic concepts and research methods, apply these principles, and investigate intersections between linguistic and social theory. Evaluation will be based on participation, presentations, papers, and a final exam.

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.

Answer key sociolinguistic patterns
This document contains an answer key for a reading comprehension test on sociolinguistic patterns. The test covers topics such as lexical and phonological differences caused by social class, the effects of urbanization on language, and how standardization can promote inequality. It also asks test-takers to identify factors that influence language use, such as social context, relationship between participants, and purpose of communication. The answer key provides explanations of phonological and grammatical variables in English varieties and how external sociolinguistic patterns can shape a language. It concludes that standard languages arise through deliberate planning over long periods rather than natural linguistic evolution.
A Two-Speed Language Evolution - Protolang Torun - September 2011
1) The document discusses a two-speed model of language evolution based on r/K selection strategies from biology. r-strategist words spread widely and are useful in unpredictable environments, while K-strategist words are specialized for stable contexts.
2) It proposes the concept of a linguistic carrying capacity, determined by limits of individual memory and the transmission channel. Above this capacity, a K-strategy becomes more efficient than an r-strategy.
3) Agent-based simulations are suggested to model language transmission between generations of learners and observe the emergence of r/K tendencies, helping to validate hypotheses about factors influencing carrying capacity.

Language deth, language shift, marker, micro/macro sociolinguistics
This document discusses key topics in sociolinguistics including language shift, language death, markers, and micro/macrosociolinguistics. It provides definitions and examples of language shift, where a community gradually abandons its original language for another, often occurring over 3-4 generations through a stage of bilingualism. Language death is the end point of shift when a language has no remaining native speakers. Markers are linguistic variables that correlate with social groups and speech styles. Microsociolinguistics examines language in relation to society at a small scale while macrosociolinguistics looks at larger societal behaviors and impacts on language.
Sociolinguistic
This document provides an overview of sociolinguistic concepts including social factors that correlate with language variation such as gender, age, audience, and social networks. It discusses methods for collecting and analyzing sociolinguistic data, including elicitation techniques. As an example, it summarizes a sociolinguistic study of /r/ variation in Middlesbrough, England which found evidence of dialect leveling and diffusion of new variants across age and gender groups. Finally, it outlines some applications of sociolinguistics, such as informing language education policy and training for film actors.
Emerging languages in esoteric and exoteric niches: evidence from rural sign ...
This document summarizes a talk given by Jack J. Wilson and Hannah Little on emerging languages in isolated ("esoteric") and mainstream ("exoteric") communities. They discuss rural sign languages, which emerge in small, isolated villages and differ from urban sign languages used by deaf communities with access to media and education. Rural sign languages rely more on context, iconicity, and shared knowledge between signers. The authors argue that studying how languages emerge and change in isolated niches can provide insights into the origins and evolution of human language.

This document provides an overview of key concepts in sociolinguistics. It discusses how language varies based on social factors like region, social class, gender, and age. Some of the main topics covered include language vs. dialect, speech communities, linguistic variables and constraints on linguistic variation. Examples are given of classic sociolinguistic studies that examined how variables like (r) pronunciation in New York City and (ng) in New England varied based on social characteristics of the speaker. The document also discusses multilingualism, code-switching, language planning and vitality, and methods for conducting sociolinguistic research.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
