Chapter 1 IntroductionWHAT IS SOCIOLINGUISTICS?If I had a penny for every time I have tried to answer the question, So what issociolinguistics? ,I would be writing this book in the comfort of an early retirement. And if there was a way ofdefining it in one simple, yet comprehensive, sentence, there might not be a need for weightyintroductory is a very broad field, and it can be used to describe many different waysof studying language. A lot of linguists might describe themselves as sociolinguists, but thepeople who call themselves sociolinguists may have rather different interests from eachother and they may use very different methods for collecting and analysing data. This can beconfusing if you are coming new to the field. Is sociolinguistics about how individual speakersuse language? Is it about how people use language differently in different towns or regions?Is it about how a nation decides what languages will be recognised in courts or education?
that an introduction to sociolinguistics provides them with both the basic findings and linguistic insights of the field, and also an immediate sense of how and where sociolinguistic research intersects with and can inform research in their major subject.
