SOCIETY DIDCOURSE: SOCIOLINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGE VARIEBILITY

Language is a social-cultural-geographical phenomenon. There is a deep re- lationship between language and society. It is in society that man acquires and uses language. When we study a language which is an abstraction of abstractions, a system of systems, we have to study its further abstractions such as dialects, sociolects, idiolects, etc. That is why we have to keep in mind the geographical area in which this language is spoken, the culture and the society in which it is used, the speakers who use it, the listeners for whom it is used, and the purpose for which it is used, besides the linguistic components that compose it. Only then can our study of a language be complete and comprehensive
