1. Sociolinguistics and sociology of language

Sociolinguistics is the descriptive study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way language is used, and society's effect on language. It differs from sociology of language, which focuses on the effect of language on society.

Sociolinguistics is meeting ground for both linguists and social scientists, it is not surprising that there are as it were, two centres of gravity, known as micro and macro sociolinguistics. These represent different orientation. Micro-issues concern the linguistic aspects of society and are taken up by linguists, dialectologists and others in language centred fields. Maro issues deal with understanding the social aspects of language and are major concern to sociologists and social psychologists. While the former is considered sociolinguistics, the latter falls in the realm of the sociology of language.
