Sociolinguistics : General Definiton
One of the most important symbols of social behavior is language. We use language to send important social signals about who we are, where we come from, and who we interact with through the natural transmission of knowledge by language. It is also surprising to learn how deeply we can evaluate the context, behavior, and motives of a person simply based on the vocabulary, accent, or, in some situations, even the use of a single word of the individual. The basic idea behind sociolinguistics is very simple: symbolically, the usage of language expresses the basic aspects of social activity and human interaction. Yasmin (2013) described sociolinguistics as a science that explores the aims and functions of language in society. It helps to clarify how language varies across regional boundaries from one context to another and how individuals interact with individuals in other contexts in one context (e.g., non-native-nonnative speakers; non-native-native speakers; and so on).
