Full textAbstract:
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.

The main aim of this article is to discuss the hierarchisation of epistemologies in the history of Moroccan sociolinguistics and the ways in which sociolinguistic knowledge about Morocco has been produced and validated over more than a century within the framework of the coloniality and postcoloniality of knowing, doing and thinking. In order to achieve my main objective, I will first introduce some issues from a decolonial and critical linguistics framework which suggest new epistemologies in the field of sociolinguistics from the Global South. Secondly, I will provide an historical and critical review of several linguistic works, especially in the context of the so-called “colonial linguistics” in Morocco conducted by non-locals: their mainstream research, theories, methods, techniques, and ideologies regarding the objects they investigate. Third, I will offer an overview of the sociolinguistic research that developed following the emergence of this discipline and that laid the foundations for the work of Moroccan sociolinguistics, including the people they worked with and the topics they addressed. Finally, I will discuss the benefits of direct and indirect research by considering the historicity of the phenomenon of the benefits of sociolinguistic research. My self-critical reflexivity is connected to my subjectivity as African, Moroccan and Southern sociolinguist, which in turn presents alternative and innovative decolonial epistemologies in the study of language in society.

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.

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 : This study investigates the use of the sociolinguistic variation in classroom discourse by learners of English as a foreign language. By using qualitative descriptive method, this study finds out that (a) sociolinguistic variation tends to be used more in informal speech than in formal settings; (b) higher English proficiency and frequent interaction with peers in the classroom and with native speakers of English promote the appropriate contextual usage of sociolinguistic variation; and (c) females tend to adopt more formal language style than males. This study also finds that learners’ patterns of sociolinguistic variation closely follow those of their teachers and textbooks, suggesting the necessity of explicit instruction in sociolinguistic variants in classrooms.Keywords : sociolinguistics; sociolinguistic variation; inter-language; language acquisition.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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 Despite the complexity and importance of sociolinguistic knowledge in the Korean language, KFL textbooks and curriculum fall short in incorporating sociolinguistic issues due to their focus on grammar and communication. To address this challenge, this paper introduces an advanced level content-based course in which online TV shows of various genres in addition to readings on Korean sociolinguistics are effectively utilized to enhance sociolinguistic competency. That is, students watch relevant online TV shows not only for content but also to analyze the language with the sociolinguistic tools gained from the lecture and readings on given topics such as honorifics/address terms, gender and language, dialects, and internet language. Furthermore, the results of student questionnaires and interviews on the effect of sociolinguistic knowledge on their L2 in ter language upon completion of the course are reported. Finally, we discuss the pedagogical implications of explicit sociolinguistic instruction in KFL curricula at all levels.

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 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.

Full textAbstract:
Mainstream sociolinguistic theories were developed in Western societies based on Western languages and societies. This resulted in unnecessary epistemological restriction, which attempts at decolonization seek to address and overcome. Decolonizing sociolinguistics implies counterbalancing Western scholarly domination of the rest of the world. It aims to produce and legitimize new knowledge, methods, and ways to engage in sociolinguistics. We argue that sociolinguistics as we know it should be expanded. Scholars have today an extensive toolbox and specialist terminology for conducting sociolinguistic analysis, but these tools fit Western languages and societies better than non-Western ones. In this article, we discuss the origins, workings, and omissions of mainstream sociolinguistics and present alternative approaches that have been neglected due to an overtly Western bias of the discipline. We conclude with practical suggestions for decolonizing and advancing the field of study. Decolonizing sociolinguistics is a long-term endeavor that involves researchers, editors, publishers, and students.

To improve the interaction between humans and machines, the integration of sociolinguistic concepts into artificial intelligence (AI) systems marks a significant step forward. Sociolinguistics studies how social factors like culture, identity and context shape language thus providing essential understandings for addressing the linguistic and cultural diversity among global AI users. This paper explores the theoretical aspects of how sociolinguistics influences AI communication, emphasizing how concepts such as linguistic variation, pragmatic competence, and conversational context can help create more adaptable and inclusive AI systems. The analysis starts by placing AI's increasing role in daily communication into context, pinpointing shortcomings in current models that struggle to replicate sociolinguistic behaviors like accommodating regional dialects, managing code-switching, and understanding indirect speech acts. The paper investigates the challenges that Artificial intelligence (AI) faces in representation of marginalized linguistic communities and also addresses biases present in training dataset by drawing on foundational sociolinguistic theories from Labov (2006) and Gumperz (1982), along with advancements in natural language processing (NLP). The study points out specific areas where insights from sociolinguistics can enhance AI design, for example managing linguistic diversity, understanding pragmatic nuances, and facilitating cross-cultural communication. It also considers ethical issues like fairness and inclusivity in AI training and deployment. This research aims to advance both theoretical understanding and practical applications in human-machine interaction by proposing a conceptual framework that incorporates sociolinguistic principles into Artificial Intelligence (AI).

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.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the methodological basis of sociolinguistic research into language perspectives with a focus on linguistic diversity in the Russian Federation, the study of which is closely connected with such sociolinguistic concepts as language situation, language policy and language planning. Оver the recent decades, sociolinguistics has witnessed a real boom in new research showing a growing variety of methods for studying linguistic diversity. Closer consideration of these papers shows that the authors focus on the search for tools to analyze the prerequisites, history and current situation of linguistic diversity. However, research methods for the future development of linguistic diversity – linguistic forecasting, lack for scientific representation. Analysis of the prospects for the development of languages in present-day conditions is no less relevant research topic. The identification of the laws of language development requires a comprehensive approach from the position of sociolinguistics, which leads to the multifaceted nature of scientific research, the consideration of the object not only from the linguistic point of view, but also from sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, ethnolinguistic etc. factors. The authors present an overview of sociolinguistic methods. As part of a combination of methods, which is justified by the variety of goals and subjects of linguistic forecasting, the authors analyze some possible methods of sociolinguistic forecasting (parametric, statistical, discursive) and their practical application in the study of linguistic diversity. The article concludes with forecasts for linguistic diversity in the Russian Federation.

Sociolinguistics, which bridges linguistics, sociology, and other disciplines, explores the complex relationship of language with society. This research was conducted to find trends in sociolinguistic studies from 2014 to 2023, and this bibliometric analysis was conducted to reveal significant scholarly activities and themes studied. The study provides an in-depth quantitative and qualitative overview of the vast sociolinguistic literature produced during this period. Using keywords such as "sociolinguistics" and "bibliometric analysis", the analysis identified and assessed relevant articles in the 2014-2023 timeframe. The bibliometric data, analyzed with VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, measured publication frequency and author interconnections and identified thematic clusters. In addition, it evaluated interdisciplinary contributions from fields such as Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Computer Science, Psychology, and Engineering to sociolinguistics. The main findings show a spike in research activity around 2016, reflecting the growing interest in sociolinguistics. Various disciplines contribute and provide multidimensionality to the field. Important keywords include linguistics, language, and humanity, highlighting research into the structure of language, language as a means of social communication, and its role in human development. The finding of the word technology illustrates the growing technological developments in sociolinguistics. The appearance of the word "gender" signifies ongoing research into the complex relationship between language and gender. This study offers a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of sociolinguistic research, underscores its relevance in the changing social and technological landscape, and suggests directions for further research.

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.

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?

The research aimed to explore beliefs of sociolinguistic competence from Indonesian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers. Two teachers were carefully chosen to participate in the research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, analyzed, and interpreted using the critical descriptive method. The research finds that EFL teachers express their beliefs in various terms, ideologies, and perspectives. The result indicates that the EFL teachers’ beliefs about sociolinguistic competence are equivalent to the concepts of spatial repertoire, principled-polycentrism, resourceful speakers, and sociolinguistics as mobility. It also indicates that EFL teachers’ pedagogical affordances in determining learning objectives, selecting materials and media for learning, implementing classroom strategies, and choosing appropriate evaluation for their teaching are influenced by their beliefs of sociolinguistic competence. The research suggests that Indonesian EFL teachers should be awarded the freedom to develop sociolinguistic competence based on their classroom context and learners’ heterogeneity. With the presence of a national curriculum (known as K13) that gives more spaces for sociolinguistic competence to take place, teachers should transform their paradigm of seeing classroom interaction in EFL classroom to be more sociolinguistically-aware to transform the static, pre-determined, and motionless definition of sociolinguistic competence to a more dynamic, fluid, and varying. These transformations can be made by imparting sociolinguistic competence in teachers’ education and teachers’ professional development programs.

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.

Full textAbstract:
The current paper offers a critical reflection on the role of the social dimension of the second language (L2) development of sociolinguistic competence. We center our discussion of L2 sociolinguistic competence on variationist approaches to second language acquisition (SLA) and the study of variable structures. We first introduce the framework of variationist SLA and offer a brief overview of some of the social, and more broadly extralinguistic, factors that have been investigated in this line of inquiry. We then discuss the three waves of variationist sociolinguistics and various social factors that have been examined in other socially oriented approaches to SLA. By reflecting on these bodies of research, our goal is to identify how the insights from this work (i.e., research couched in the second and third waves of variationist sociolinguistics and in other socially oriented approaches to SLA) could be extended to the study of L2 sociolinguistic competence. We argue that greater attention to the social nature of language in variationist SLA is needed in order to more fully understand the L2 development of variable structures.

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.

Full textAbstract:
This article provides an overview of the Catalan sociolinguistic situation at the turn of the 21st century as well as an introduction to the so-called integrationist approach in sociolinguistics, which takes into account issues of social structure and local practice. The article identifies and discusses three main challenges for Catalan: the sociolinguistic situation of the language prior to heightened immigration in the 1990s; attitudes towards the new immigrants (largely from Africa, Latin America, and Asia), and the intergenerational transmission of Catalan. Each challenge is discussed in light of the current sociolinguistic research based on census data and surveys. The article concludes with a consideration of future prospects for the Catalan language within the changing political and social climate of Spain and Catalonia.

Full textAbstract:
The present study attempts to comprehensively review the sociolinguistic literature on Macao from the past three decades by focusing on four key research themes found in previous studies: (1) languages, dialects and specialized languages, (2) language contact, (3) language attitudes and identity construction and (4) language planning and language policy. By presenting a fuller picture of previous studies of language and society in Macao it is argued that the sociolinguistic situation of Macao should not be overlooked in the study of Chinese sociolinguistics.

Applying brand names to international markets remains a challenge to multinational corporations. Consumers’ sociolinguistic backgrounds shape their responses to brand names. This paper uses a sociolinguistic approach as a conceptual framework in understanding brand naming and translating in the Chinese market. The approach promotes that sociolinguistics a) recognizes linguistic competence, b) advances symbolic values imbedded in linguistic forms, and c) renders attached social valence to cultural scrutiny. Three brand‐naming cases in China are presented for discussion, which may benefit multinational corporations on brand decisions involving Chinese consumers.

Given its location, Morocco is influenced by multiple linguistic factors. As a result, Sociolinguistics became a crucial linguistic field in the country. It witnessed significant development since the 1970s since a considerable amount of research was conducted to cope with the constant changes in language policy. While research grew in quantity, there were no significant attempts to closely analyze its contributions and determine its efficiency. To this end, the study at hand provided a general background of the status of sociolinguistic in Morocco. It also reflected on the attitudes of students and professors involved in the field on the status of the latter. Similarly, it investigated the extent to which the Moroccan language policy has impacted research produced in sociolinguistics. Therefore, the results presented the attitudes toward the development and the involvement of sociolinguistic research. It mainly reflected the region of Rabat-Sale and to a lesser extent Casablanca, Fes, and Marrakech. The study concluded that sociolinguistic research in Morocco focuses on some languages/varieties more than others. As a consequence, despite the immense growth of the field in recent years, it still does not meet the expectations of the population of the study.

Full textAbstract:
This article raises a question regarding the principles of a sociolinguistic approach to dialectology. Indeed, a dialectological study can have a genetic approach, an anthropological approach or a sociolinguistic approach as in this article by starting from the notion of dialectal variation which distinguishes a classical dialectology and an urban dialectology which refers more or less to what is called sociolinguistics today and whose aim is to establish a covariance between language(s) and society(ies). In this work, this approach raises the issue of quantitative dialectology and its implications. To understand dialectometric calculations, the methodology consisted of a comparison of documentary resources aimed at building a sociolinguistic approach to dialectology. This documentary approach was supplemented by an introspection which made it possible to create a theoretical corpus which provides the tools necessary to carry out a dialectological investigation in a real situation. This pedagogical aim of the subject not only made it possible to schematize the relationship which exists between sociolinguistics and dialectology but also laid, for the students, the bases of an approach to calculate the intelligibility rate between dialects, the intercomprehension and vehicularity rates.

Full textAbstract:
The present study offers an analysis of the effects of globalization from a sociolinguistic point of view. It attempts to discuss the tremendous effects of globalization on societies and languages. The major characteristics of globalization as noticed nowadays are excessive communication (through language of course) and increased mobility all around the world. Therefore, the study elaborates on the consequences of globalization in two basic dimensions, people's mobility (migration and ease of traveling), and language mobility (which resulted in the development of English as an international language). The discussion strongly suggests that many of the established sociolinguistic phenomena become questionable in the current era of globalization. Several issues about languages and societies such as dialects and lingua franca appeared to require further sociolinguistic examination and a sustainable definition. In its dynamism of change, the future of the sociolinguistics of globalization will continue to raise an array of questions and concerns.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTA central concern in linguistics is assessing the linguistic competence of individuals or groups. Formal linguists usually accomplish this by the study of intuitions with little regard for observed usage, while survey sociolinguists usually depend on observations – especially the data of “spontaneous” interviews – with little regard for intuitions. In this paper I argue that survey sociolinguists need to make greater use of repeated recordings and elicited intuitions.The existence of this need is illustrated in most detail by an attempt to replicate an earlier implicational analysis of pronominal variation in the Guyanese creole continuum. It is shown that with repeated sampling and the inclusion of elicited intuitions, the discontinuities on which implicational scaling depends disappear almost entirely. With a clearer idea of what speakers can say, however, the sociolinguistic interpretation of what they do say in the spontaneous interviews and recordings is rendered more reliable and revealing.In the conclusion, some of the theoretical implications and methodological difficulties involved in extending the use of repeated recordings and elicited intuitions in sociolinguistic surveys more generally are discussed. (Sociolinguistic survey methodology, variation, style, implicational scaling, creoles)

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 Wolfgang Klein’s observation in 1989 that a steady rise in academic publications affects a scientist’s capacity to read and write more extends to issues like funding, tenure, and citation on the one hand, and technological advancements like artificial intelligence that enable (and corrupt) research on the other. In documenting speakers’ linguistic behaviour in varied social settings, sociolinguistics journals are necessary platforms for the dissemination and archiving of sociolinguistic data. Like many academic journals, however, sociolinguistics journals also play a vital role in amassing information, simultaneously contributing to sociolinguistic progress and data excess. In this commentary, I agree with Klein that production should be reduced to some extent for authors to both read and write, and to contribute content in support of the research – not simply to be published.

Full textAbstract:
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.

This article describes the rise of Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) as an institutional designation within postsecondary education in the U.S. context, and outlines some of the language-based challenges U.S. Latinx students face on campus and in the home speech community. Engagement with the mass media through editorial writing and interviews in television, radio, and print formats is conceived of as a productive means of educating the public about HSIs and the language issues that contextualize the lives of the student bodies that attend them, combating misinformation about U.S. Latinx speech communities, and, more generally, for doing what Wolfram (2016) calls “public sociolinguistics education.” A model of mass media engagement is suggested, in which community-based sociolinguistic research is communicated by the researcher to press specialists at the university, who help place it with journalists, who then disseminate sociolinguistic knowledge to the general public. The effects of mass media engagement—including community involvement and the creation of sociolinguistic artifacts—are discussed, and practical advice for promoting sociolinguistic perspectives through mass media engagement is given.

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.

This paper aims to explore how the study of sociolinguistics can benefit teachers, particularly in the context of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in China. The article will first examine how sociolinguistic knowledge can reshape teachers’ perceptions of “English,” focusing on aspects such as English varieties, World Englishes, and Chinese English. Following that, the article discusses the necessity of rethinking current practices in English language teaching, including the nativeness paradigm and the concept of communicative competence based on a reconceptualized view of “English.” Additionally, the discussion will focus on how teachers, informed by sociolinguistic awareness of non-native teachers’ identities and teacher agency, can address and resolve existing challenges in EFL teaching. Finally, the article will conclude by summarizing the key issues discussed and highlighting the significance of studying sociolinguistics for language practitioners in China.

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.

Full textAbstract:
This article introduces a linguistic approach to typography which is based on (interactional) sociolinguistic and metapragmatic theories of communicative variation that is located in the rather new sociolinguistic strand called the sociolinguistics of writing. Within the framework clarified here, typography, and graphic design in general, is understood as a variable perceptible resource which provides, by means of its reference-indeterminate variability, options for the ascription and interactive contextual construal of social (or indexical) meaning. As will be elaborated upon, the approach draws on the assumption that such social meaning is not inherent to communicative forms, but the result of discursively shared (enregistered) and thus unevenly distributed and hence contextually differing expectations, beliefs and assumptions (graphic ideologies). The work introduces a range of basic notions that are needed for the linguistic investigation in typography (typography, typographic scales, text design, multimodality), sketches the scope of linguistic investigations into typographic design on the background of different functions of typographic variation, locates the sociolinguistic approach vis-a-vis other linguistic approaches to typography, introduces the basic notions on which a sociolinguistics of typography is built (graphic variation, graphic knowledge, enregisterment, and graphic ideologies) and finally exemplifies the approach by means of examples from German-speaking discourse.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
This study delves into the intricate relationship between language, cognition, and society by employing a multidimensional approach. It combines free associative experiments and sociolinguistic analysis to offer a nuanced perspective on concept configuration. By focusing on the intersection of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics, the research explores how sociocultural factors influence the way individuals associate concepts, exemplified through the study of “Altruism” in English native speakers. The findings underscore the significant impact of variables like age and gender on the concept configuration, revealing the fact that social variables shape linguistic consciousness. This integration of methodologies provides a comprehensive understanding of the concept configuration, emphasizing the need for a multidimensional approach in the study of language intricacies. In summary, this article highlights the importance of merging free associative experiments and sociolinguistic analysis to unravel the influence of social factors on concept associations. It contributes valuable insights into the dynamic nature of language, cognition, and society while emphasizing the relevance of age and gender variables in such investigations. This research lays a foundation for further exploration in the fields of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics.

Full textAbstract:
This article outlines the advantages of introducing some new terms to describe the current sociolinguistic situation in Lithuania. Its essential components are the heterogeneity of the country’s ethno-linguistic landscape, intensive internal and external migration and the different types of language practices within the country, which are the result of the first two factors. The term “imported language” proposed by the author of the article and the term “newspeakerism”, which has recently become established in European sociolinguistics, have not yet been used in the works of Lithuanian sociolinguists. However, these terms can be important for describing the linguistic specifics of some regions of Lithuania. The first term seems appropriate to denote the language of immigrants, which is used relatively widely in the host country, not only in family, but also in the everyday and official communication, and the second – for the sociolinguistic categorization of such immigrants. Most immigrants are residents of post-Soviet countries with native or well-mastered Russian language, therefore, in the article, it is Russian that is defined as an imported language.
The paper examines the theoretical prerequisites for the introduction of new terms for a more accurate description of the current linguistic situation in Lithuania and the designation of its participants. Statistical data on migration processes in Lithuania and fragments of interviews with immigrants of chronologically different arrival streams are used.

This article provides an overview of the Second Sociolinguistic Conference, which was held in Lunteren (The Netherlands) from 18 to 19 May 1995. In particular, attention is focused on the topics and theories that turned out to play an important role at this conference. The article begins with a comparison between the contents of the First Sociolinguistic Conference (1991) and those of the Second Sociolinguistic Conference (1995). The papers presented are classified according to the topics they dealt with. The categories adopted in this overview are those used on earlier occasions by Muysken (1984) to assess developments in socio-linguistic research and by Van Hout, Huls & Verhallen (1991) in their presentation of the First Sociolinguistic Conference. Since any classification scheme is likely to be somewhat arbitrary, the same categorisation as in the above-mentioned two papers was used here for the sake of comparability. When the papers presented at the two Sociolinguistic Conferences are compared, it appears that 'bilingualism and language contact' and 'pragmatics, interaction, and conversation analysis' constitute the main topics in both cases. The most conspicuous change from 1991 to 1995 is a growing interest in the process of language acquisition by members of language minorities in the Netherlands and Flanders. An analysis of the papers presented at the 1995 conference, would seem to suggest that a considerable amount of sociolinguistic research is conducted without reference to a specific theory or conceptual framework. The consequences that this might have for the future of sociolinguistic research in the Netherlands and Flanders are briefly considered. Finally, a number of young sociolinguists were invited to reply to the rather provocative conclusion drawn in this article.
