This document discusses different types of linguistic items and social dialects. It explains that pronunciation seems to vary more across regions and social groups than other linguistic aspects like grammar and vocabulary. Pronunciation is used to identify one's origins, while other items may indicate social status. Social dialects are influenced by factors like social class, gender, and age, not just geography. Pronunciation tends to show more regional variation among lower social classes. The document also provides examples of variation in Arabic dialects across countries and between social groups.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Types of linguistics items and Social Dialect

Types of linguistic items & Social Dialect
3. According to Hudson Sociolinguistics is a set of linguistic items
with similar distribution (Variety is a specific set of linguistic
items or human speech patterns) (most probably, sounds, words,
and grammatical features) that we can uniquely associate with
some external factors (probably, a geographical area and social
group.
One of the most interesting questions that this whole discussion
of varieties raises is whether all linguistic items are subject to
variation in the same way.
4. In referring to the notion of 'accent' we have already suggested
that there may be a general difference between items of
pronunciation and other items (morphology, syntax, vocabulary),
in that pronunciation is less liable to standardization.
5. ■ Pronunciation seems to have a different social function from
other types of items. For example, despite the manifest
influence of the United States on Britain, its influence on
British English is restricted almost entirely to vocabulary and
appears to have had no effect at all on the pronunciation of
even the most susceptible groups, such as teenagers.
■ As Trudgill (1983) has shown, even radio disc jockeys and
pop singers only put on American accents when singing or
disc-jockeying!
6. ■ It could be that we use pronunciation in order to:
Identify our origins (or to imply that we originated
from some group, whether we really did or not).
In contrast, we might use morphology, syntax and
vocabulary in order to identify our current status in
society, such as the amount of education we have
had.
7. But there is enough evidence for differences
between pronunciation and other areas of
language to make it worth looking for general
explanations. As already suggested, the
difference may be simply an artifact of the
standardization process, so it is important to
look for evidence from societies not affected
by standardization.
8. e.g. the difference between -ing and –in’ in
words like coming a difference in
pronunciation.
9. There is a difference between syntax and the rest of language
which needs to be explained:
First, the lack of references in the literature to syntactic
differences could be due to the difficulty of studying such
differences, since where they exist the evidence for them is
relatively rare in ordinary speech and is hard to elicit directly
compared, in particular, with vocabulary items.
10. Secondly, the apparent stability of syntax could be an illusion,
because there are relatively few syntactic items (constructions)
compared with vocabulary items, so that even if the same
proportion of syntactic items varied the result would be a
smaller number.
Thirdly, even if there is a difference between syntax and the rest
of the language, this could again be an artifact of the process of
standardization.
11. Syntactic items are rather commonly diffused across 'language' boundaries
into adjacent areas. (Features that are shared in this way, and cannot be
explained as the result of a common heritage from a parent language, are
called areal features
For example, three adjacent languages in the Balkans (Bulgarian, Romanian,
and Albanian) all have the rather unusual property of a suffixed definite
article; thus in Albanian mik is 'friend' and mik-u is 'the friend'. This shared
feature can only be explained by diffusion in the relatively recent past
12. From Kupwar, a small village in India, whose 3,000 people
between them speak three languages: Marathi and Urdu, which
are both Indo-European, and Kannada, which is not. (A small
number also speak a non-Indo-European, language, Telugu.) As
usual in India, the village is divided into clearly distinct groups
(castes), each of which can be identified by its language.
However, the different groups obviously need to communicate
with each other, and bilingualism (or trilingualism) is common,
especially among the men.
13. Is there a proof about hypothesis that differences in
syntax tend to be suppressed, whereas those in
vocabulary and pronunciation tend to be favored
and used as markers of social differences?
14. in standard Kannada, sentences like The postman is my best
friend do not contain a word for 'is', whereas in Urdu and
Marathi, they do; but in the Kannada of Kupwar, there is a word
for it, on the model of Urdu and Marathi.
15. Types of linguistic items in Arabic dialect
Arabic is one of the World’s major languages with
roughly 300 million speakers in twenty-two Arab
countries. In 1974, Arabic was attested as one of
the sixth United Nation’s official languages
alongside Chinese, Russian, English, French and
Spanish.
16. Arabic dialects are divided into five groups
( Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Iraqi, and Maghrebi), each
of which contains dialect subgroups
17. In Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and some Libyan Bedouin dialects, the
indefinite article takes the form of a reflex of wāḥid + definite article, as in
ḥa-l-mṛa ‘a woman’, ‘some time’ fad yōm
Vocabulary
MSA…………… ا ر
كثي
Iraqi………………. هواي
Levantine………………. ر
كتي
Gulf…………………….وايد
21. Social dialects or class dialects: dialects that identify where
a person is in terms of the social scale.
social dialect ( also sociolect ) is a dialect associated with a
given demographic group (e.g. women versus men, older
versus younger speakers, or members of different social
classes ).
22. Dialect differences are not, of course, only geographical, There
are two main sources of extra complexity:
Firstly, there is geographical mobility people move from one
place to another, taking their dialects with them even if they
modify them over the course of time to fit their new
surroundings.
23. The second source of complexity is the fact that geography is
only one of the relevant factors, the others being social class,
gender, and age.
24. Dialectologists, therefore, speak of SOCIAL DIALECTS, or
SOCIOLECTS, to refer to non-regional differences.
Because of these other factors, a speaker may be more
similar in language to people from the same social group in
a different area than people from a different social group in
the same area.
25. one of the characteristics of the hierarchical social
structure of a country like Britain is that social class
takes precedence over geography as a determinant of
speech so that there is far more geographical
variation among people in the lower social classes
than there is among those at the 'top' of the social
heap.
26. Pronunciation seems in general to be more
sensitive to regional and social differences
than grammar and vocabulary,
27. so we make a distinction between accent and
dialect:
ACCENT refers to nothing but the pronunciation
DIALECT refers to every other aspect of language.
