Abstract:

Basic Concepts in Sociolinguistics

Smita Joseph
The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India

Basic Concepts in Sociolinguistics is a book series that will
introduce learners to the basic concepts of sociolinguistics. The
series consists of three books, here republished in one integral
volume. Book I will introduce the learners to sociolinguistic
variation. It will discuss the motivation for language variation and
the different linguistic levels at which variation occurs, that is,
lexical, phonological, morphological, and syntactic. Book II will
discuss the linguistic outcomes of multilingualism and language
contact. It will introduce the concept of a linguistic repertoire and
the functional distribution of varieties in the repertoire. It will
also introduce the concepts of code-switching, pidgins, creoles,
diglossia, and language shift. Book III will look at the social
correlates of language variation, such as social class, gender,
networks, and communities of practice (CosP). It will also introduce
linguistic politeness and ethnolinguistic vitality.
The book series includes: Illustrations and graphics that will enable
the learners to understand the concepts easily and through multiple
examples, exercises after every section, explanation of the keywords,
a theme-based division of the three-volume series, a jargon-free
discussion of concepts and themes, topics that can be easily
understood by beginners.
Some of the topics discussed in the series, which are also key terms,
are sociolinguistic variation, lexical variation, phonological
variation, morphological variation, syntactic variation, language
choice, vitality, regional dialect, social dialect, politeness,
diglossia, shift, code-switching, pidgin, and creole.
This is a zero-level course that is meant for learners without any
background in linguistics and/or sociolinguistics.
