英语语言学（山东大学（威海））第八章测试_智慧树知到答案2021年

第八章 Language and Society：In this chapter, we will focus on Sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics is the branch of linguistics that studies the relationships between society and language, and how languages change under the influence of society. We will start from the definition of sociolinguistics, the relationships between society and language, the varieties of language, and code-switching.8.1Introduction to Sociolinguistics:In this session, we will focus on a brief introduction of Sociolinguistics. As an important sub-discipline of linguistics, sociolinguistics sprang up in the 1960s, and studies the social nature and the varieties of languages with theories and methods in linguistics and sociology from different perspectives of social science. In sociolinguistics, Ferdinand de Saussure, Bronislaw Malinowski, W. Bright, and William Labov occupy important positions.
8.2Varieties of Language:In this part, we will focus on the varieties of language. Occupying significant status in sociolinguistics, varieties of language refer to a language expression/form used by people with the same social characteristic in the same social environment. From all kinds of dialects of one language to a certain lexical, phonetic, or syntactic feature, varieties of language cover almost everything in our society. This part mainly discusses the relationships between language and gender, language and society, as well as the varieties of language.
8.3Choosing A Code:In this session, we will focus on questions about codeswitching. Sociolinguists view any language and its varieties as code, which is widely interpreted as voice, vocabularies, grammatical rules, and dialects. The choice of code, from one hand, is the choice of a multilingual society, from the other hand, is the choice of an individual in social communication. This part is mainly about diglossia, bilingualism, and code-switching.
