raphical location is not enough to explain the linguistic variations. first, they pointed out that the language is subject to constant change, i.e., the mobility of speakers of different dialects of one particular language, and the resulting interaction between these dialects causes the modification or replacement of linguistic features. second, they began to explore differences in society that were found to be related to language differences. it becomes obvious that the modern sociolinguistic approach to linguistic variations is in two respects more complex than the point of view of dialectologists, since it takes into account not only the aspect of constant change, but also the influence of social factors on linguistic varieties. in the first chapter, this article will begin by explaining what is meant by language diversity. in addition, the article will give the reader a general idea of what is the focus of attention in this area of …

to know who is using the relevant features in which context. he will then prepare a procedure in order to elicit relevant data confirming his hypothesis about the relation between linguistic and social variables in this particular speech community. in the study of language variation linguistic, variables function as scientists´ tools, enabling them to investigate, recognize and analyse particular speech patterns. a variable can be seen as a set of alternative features, called variants, which can be substituted for one another without changing the meaning of the word. it was william labov who introduced this concept to sociolinguistic studies[footnoteref:2]. [2: andrew moore’s teaching resource site [elektronniy resurs].2017, -c.76; ] sociolinguists have also looked at the varying usage of lexical items. investigating the social distribution of certain synonyms, however, is very rare as significant data is most difficult to elicit. lexical variation is rather relevant in investigating different registers. as has …

ferences in style or register, sociolinguists try to explain the variation by quantifiable factors in society which are known or expected to be influencing language[footnoteref:3]. there is a wide range of social differences between speakers which have been found to relate to linguistic variation. the following remarks will be confined to three very influential social variables: socio-economic status, sex and race. [3: crystal d. the cambridge encyclopedia of the english language. cambridge: bsa, 2003. –p.491.; ] the social variable of socio-economic status was found to influence the realization of, for example, the (-ing) variable at the end of present progressive verb-forms. in his 1974- norwich-study, peter trudgill investigated the occurrence of either [-ing] or [-in‘] with a number of speakers. dividing the group of speakers into social classes, he found out that the higher the socio-economic status of the speaker (and the more formal the style), the more probable the …

f socio-economic status is universally valid. it is obviously difficult to define groups of people on the basis of their social background in general. william labov who established social stratification in his new york study argued that different social factors are relevant to different linguistic variables.9 scientists agree that the criteria taken into consideration to provide a representative stratification of society must be chosen with regard to the variable under investigation.10 the second complex of trudgill's study was the aspect of speech style. as he was looking for evidence for the relation between formality in speech and the use of the (-ing) variable, he had to elicit different degrees of formality. the participants used the most formal style while reading prepared wordlists paying most attention to their pronunciation. the most casual speech was produced in natural conversation, talking to, for example, family members or friends. the two intermediate speech styles …
