Summary " The Social Dynamic Of Speech and Bilingualism "

  Is it a Difference or a Disorder? Free Resources for SLPs Working with Bilingual and Multicultural Children | Smart Speech Therapy
 
Language, in the sense of knowledge of linguistics items and their meanings, the balance is in favor of the social, since people learn their language  by listening to others.  At the same time, each individual’s language is unique, since no two people have the same experience of language. Another thing which will become apparent is that the distinction between ‘language’ and ‘social constraints on speech’ is anything but clear, since may of the constraints discussed below  refer to specific linguistic items and could therefore be treated as a part of language, allow with what people know about meanings.

Speech is not an automatic reflex . It is work, since it requires effort and its degree of success depends on the effort that is made. It is skilled on that requires the ‘ know-how’ type of knowledge, which I applied more or less successfully according to how much practice one has had. Speech is social classified in term of types of  speech-act, and these speech-act types are learned as part of our socialization.

Walt Wolfram explains how the field of sociolinguistics has taken on new significance as a means of understanding our world. Given the social role of language, it stands to reason that one strand of language study should concentrate on the role of language in society. Language use symbolically represents fundamental dimensions of social behavior and human interaction. The notion is simple, but the ways in which language reflects behavior can often be complex and subtle.

            Mackey (1956 :155) Bilingualism is the alternate use of two languages. Formulate bilingualism as the habit of using two language or more by someone ( the alternative use of two or more by the same individual). The expansion of this opinion expressed by the level of bilingualism in terms of mastery of the elements of grammatical, lexical, semantic and style which is reflected in the four language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing. Another typology has been made in reference with how the language influence one another in the society where they are used. Thus according to such a typology, a division has been suggested between additive and subtractive bilingualism

Summary of " Sociolinguistics and Multilingualism "

           Sociolinguistics as the study of language in relation to society . It is a part of the overall study of language, linguistics and that linguistics differs from sociolinguistic in only taking into account the structure of language to the exclusion of the social contexts in which it is learned and used. In particular, sociolinguistics allows the beginning of an analytical frame-work to be worked out, containing   terms such as language ( a body of knowledge or rules ), speech ( actual utterances ), speaker, addressee, topic and so on.

The English Literature

English Literature : The Critical Realistic Priod 1.       Social Background Critical Realistic Period or Victorian literature is the literature produced during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and corresponds to the Victorian era. It forms a link and transition between the writers of the romantic period and the very different literature of the 20th century. The 19th century was characterized by sharp contradictions. It is an age of progress: railways and ships were built, great scientific discoveries were made, education became more widespread; but al the same time it was an age of profound social unrest, because there was too much poverty, too much injustice. The slaves had been freed in 1833; but in the middle of the century England awoke to the fact that slaves are not necessarily negroes, stolen in Africa to be sold like cattle in the market place, but that multitudes of men, women, and little children in the mines and factories we...
