29. Sociolinguistics and language teaching.

Author

Kearney, Mary-louise

Subjects
SOCIOLINGUISTICS, FOREIGN language education, IDENTITY (Psychology), ORAL communication, SECOND language acquisition
Abstract

Language is a global phenomenon and the attribute that allows man to communicate with his peers in a particular context. Moreover, language can also be individualized, thus becoming a characteristic of each person, whose unique identity may be established partly through his ability to express himself. This essential dichotomy was examined at length by the celebrated Swiss linguist Fernand de Saussure, who used the terms "language" and "speech" to label the global and personal phenomena. It became a tenet of linguistic analysis because it placed language inside its usual context, namely that of communication. The diversity of linguistic research over the past twenty years has served to consolidate the importance of sociolinguistics as a discipline and to identify its numerous applications. In particular, its relevance to the domain of foreign- or second-language learning is now indisputable in so far as code and context are viewed as an indivisible duality.
