Sociolinguistics – How language is influenced by social and cultural factors Sociolinguistics is the internal examination of how language works. Investigates individual and social variations in the flow or development of language. A language reflects the characteristics of a nation and contains the historical and cultural background of the nation. Every nation has its own way of living its life. They have their own rules and regulations, which are passed down from generation to generation. Each nation has a different social background and geographical situation. They have different cultures that they follow according to their teachings and religions. Sociolinguistics helps explain dialect, social variation, the social impact on word use, and the professional influence of language use. It is a common fact that we are not only taught the language itself, but we are also taught the culture of that nation. Language is one that reflects all the characteristics of a nation's culture. It also stores the entire social life and experience of a nation. When a child begins to learn the language of a different nation, he or she also learns the culture of that nation at the same time. Learning the culture of the language is very important because if a person is not familiar with the culture of a nation, he will not be able to learn the language of that nation well. “I didn't believe the world was made of quarks or electromagnetic waves, or stars, or planets, or anything like that, the world is made of language” (Harms 21). This shows the importance of language in today's society. Language is part of culture and each country gives preference to its own language. As one of the founding fathers of the Afrikaans language, the Rev. SJ du Toit, wrote in 1891 that... halfway through the document... separation from other aspects determines professional duties and varieties in all languages. perspectives. There is a profound relationship between a dialect and a social order. Individuals acquire and use a dialect in a social order. Dialect could be seen as a deliberation of reflections, an arrangement of structures. The main change can be used by educators who want to convert the sociolinguistic skills of their students overnight. But by contextualizing the presentation of the dialect, often checking the effect of social and social aspects on the dialect, and incorporating lessons with a practical approach, teachers can build sociolinguistic familiarity with their students. These things should not be presented as limited activities. However a logical and social aspect could be consolidated in most of the activities and illustrations.
