Overview
Language functions not only as a tool for communication but also as a reflection of social identity, culture, and power dynamics. The study of sociolinguistics reveals how language varies across communities and social contexts. Sociolinguistics in Modern Society investigates the relationship between language and social factors such as class, gender, ethnicity, and age. The book discusses codeswitching, dialect variation, and linguistic attitudes. It also explores the influence of globalization and digital communication on language change. Integrating theory with contemporary examples, it offers readers a deep understanding of how language both shapes and reflects social realities.
