Orphan date November 2011 Sociolinguistics In sociolinguistics , a style is a set of linguistic variants to which specific social meanings are attributed. In this context, social meanings can include group membership, personal attributes, beliefs, etc. Variation linguistics Linguistic variation is at the heart of the concept of linguistic style &mdash without the existence of variation there would be no basis for distinguishing social meanings. Variation can occur Syntax syntactically , Lexicon lexically , and Phonology phonologically . Many approaches to the interpretation and definition of style incorporate the concepts of indexicality , indexical order, stance taking, and language ideology linguistic ideology . It is important to note that a style is not a fixed attribute of a speaker. Rather, a speaker may use different styles depending on the context. Additionally, speakers will often incorporate elements of multiple styles into their speech, either consciously or subconsciously, thereby creating a new style. Origins The concept of style in the context of sociolinguistics was first introduced by William Labov in the 1960s, though he did not explicitly define the term. ref name Labov Labov, W. 1966 .

An autonomous language or variety is usually a standard language that has its own established norms, as opposed to a Heteronomous language heteronomous variety. An autonomous language will usually have grammar books, dictionaries and literature written in it. Autonomy is largely a sociopolitical construct rather than a result of specific Natural language linguistic differences. Examples of languages which have previously been considered to be autonomous, but are now sometimes considered heteronomous language heteronomous are the Scots language , now generally thought of as a dialect of English language English Occitan language Occitan , sometimes thought of as a dialect of French language French Cebuano language Cebuano , usually thought of as a dialect or variety linguistics variety of Tagalog language Tagalog or Filipino language Filipino and Low German Low Saxon , widely considered to be a dialect of German language German .

In sociolinguistics , the linguistic marketplace refers to the theory that the value of a speaker s choice of language depends on his or her role in society. Sociolinguist Jack Chambers linguist J.K. Chambers has written that listeners place more value on the language of professionals of language, such as teachers, authors, and lawyers, than they do on that of chemists or engineers. They similarly place more value on technicians of language, like actors and secretaries, because these jobs require more interaction with other people and greater proficiency with words. The need to find employment strongly influences the spoken language , Chambers wrote, usually pushing the speaker towards a standardized tongue or the most prestigious one used in the area. When a lower value is placed on language in occupations requiring little need to talk with others, that push towards standardization does not occur. The linguistic marketplace also plays a significant role in the ways that the speech of women and men differ, as well as that of various age levels.

Sociohistorical linguistics , or historical sociolinguistics , is the study of the relationship between language and society in its historical dimension. A typical question in this field would, for instance, be How were the verb endings s and th he loves vs. he loveth distributed in Middle English society or When did people use French, when did they use English in 14th century England? Sociohistorical linguistics is a relatively new field of linguistic research which represents a merger of two distinct sub disciplines of linguistics sociolinguistics and historical linguistics historical or diachronic linguistics . Researchers in this field use sociolinguistic methods to explain historical change. This approach is particularly useful when language internal data alone is unable to account for some seemingly inexplicable developments. Instead of relying solely upon intra linguistic evidence and data to explain language change, socio historical linguists search for extra linguistic causes of change. One of the seminal works in the field is Romaine 1982 s Socio Historical Linguistics . Other studies such as John McWhorter s work, The Missing Spanish Creoles , are more specific in this case examining the extra linguistic reasons why there are no creole language creoles with Spanish as a lexifier language as opposed to English, French, Dutch, Portuguese, etc. .
