b. Language as an act of identity  

A society consists of individuals and it cannot exist without individuals. According to Hudson, both sociologists and sociolinguistics would agreed that a society cannot exist without individuals rather individuals are center of interest of a society. To know about how the individuals behave it is necessary to know how they work. Therefore, it is essential to know that why individuals are given importance in sociolinguistics.

We can be sure that no two speakers have the same language because no two speakers have the same experience of language and differences lie between them because of the universal characteristics of a language.

Sociolinguistics and sociology of language

MEG – 04: ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE

ASSIGNMENT 2018 - 2019

(Based on Blocks (1 - 9)

          Max. Marks: 100

1. Write short notes on the following:

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.

I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I

Did, till we lov'd? were we not wean'd till then?

But suck'd on countrey pleasures, childishly?

Or snorted we i' the seaven sleepers den?

These lines are taken from John Donne’s poem, “The Good-Morrow”. He is the pioneer of the metaphysical movement in English literature in the first half of the 17th century. His poetry is expressive of intense personal emotions in a conversational idiom with detachment. The poem tell us about his metaphysic of love, the implication of which inheres in a close interdependence of body and spirit.

In the poem, “The Good-Morrow” he presents the love that is serene, and the equipoise reaches the culmination. The mood of happiness and security in love-making that the poem exalts is not done in the petrarchan mode of making an abject surrender. The poem begins in a highly dramatic manner with a disconnecting question...................................................

And thereupon That beautiful mild woman for whose sake There's many a one shall find out all heartache On finding that her voice is sweet and low Replied,'To be born woman is to kno,,rr- Although they do not talk of at school- That we must labour to be beautiful .'

And thereupon

That beautiful mild woman for whose sake

There's many a one shall find out all heartache

On finding that her voice is sweet and low

Replied,'To be born woman is to kno,,rr-

Although they do not talk of at school-

That we must labour to be beautiful .'

These lines are taken from the poem ‘Adam’s Curse’ written by  William Butler Yeats. In the poem, Yeats describes the difficulty of creating something beautiful. The title alludes to the book of Genesis, evoking the fall of man and the separation of work and pleasure.

‘Adam’s Curse’ remains an important instance for a departure in Yeats's poetic career, an awareness of the actual world with its unpoetic responsibilities and political conflicts. It hovers between the earlier languorous idiom and rhythm and a new conversational, even witty tone disguising a sub-text of emotional yearning and disillusionment.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,

In the forest of the night,

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry

These lines are taken from "The Tyger", which is a poem by the English poet William Blake published in 1794 as part of the Songs of Experience collection. it is "the most anthologized poem in English".It is one of Blake's most reinterpreted and arranged works, one of the great poems in the English language.

"The Tyger" is the sister poem to "The Lamb" (from "Songs of Innocence"), a reflection of similar ideas from a different perspective (Blake's concept of "contraries"), with "The Lamb" bringing attention to innocence. "The Tyger" presents a duality between aesthetic beauty and primal ferocity, and Blake believes that to see one, the hand that created "The Lamb", one must also see the other, the hand that created "The Tyger”: "Did he who made the Lamb make thee?"

"The Tyger" lacks narrative movement. The first stanza opens the central question, "What immortal hand or eye, / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?" ..........

"All humane things are subject to decay, And, when Fate summons, Monarchs must obey"

          All humane things are subject to decay,

And, when Fate summons, Monarchs must obey:

Ans :

These lines are taken from John Dryden’s verse mock-heroic satire, Mac Flecknoe. "Mac Flecknoe" is the outcome of a series of disagreements between Thomas Shadwell and Dryden. The poem illustrates Shadwell as the heir to a kingdom of poetic dullness, represented by his association with Richard Flecknoe, an earlier poet already satirized by Andrew Marvell and disliked by Dryden, although the poet does not use belittling techniques to satirize him.

Dryden begins with a lofty commentary on mortality, God, and kings, his introduction to what we can only assume will be a grandiose epic of Homeric proportions.............

We sat grown quiet at the name of love; We saw the last embers of daylight die, And in the trembling blue-green of the sky A moon, worn as if it had been a shell Washed by time's waters as they rose and fell About the stars and broke in days and years.

Written in 1902, before the marriage of Maud Gonne to Major John MacBride, the whole poem is a controlled expression of Yeat’s futile love for her.
