The article presents a discussion on Sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics is an aspect of the exploration of the social influences on language and the role of language in society. A growth area of study since the late 1960s, it is concerned with linguistic variation within and across individuals and groups at the social, regional, national and international level with respect to such factors as age, gender, education, occupation, ethnicity and socio- economic status. Sociolinguistics (also known as the sociology of language) aims to understand uses of language and the social structures in which the users of language function. A further assumption is that language is a communal possession that people use, and not an abstract, self-sufficient system. One especially relevant fact of language when viewed from this perspective is that no individual uses language the same way all the time. The variation represented by different speech or language varieties is highly structured and regulated. Thus, any variation associated with language use, whether pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary, rhetorical choices, or sentence and discourse structure, has limits.
