sociolinguistics : language, dialeg and varieties

Unless a human being has a physical or mental disability, he or she will be born with the capacity for language: the innate ability to speak a language, or in the case of someone who is deaf, to sign a language (i.e. use gestures to communicate). his capacity does not involve any kind of  learning – a young child, for instance, does not need to be taught to speak or sign – and occurs in predictable stages, beginning with the babbling cries of an infant and culminating in the full speaking abilities of an adult.Language is many things; it can be a system of communication, a medium for thought, vehicle for literary expression, a matter for political controversy, a catalyst for nation building (O’Grady & Dobrovolsky, 1989: 1 in Imansyah, 2008:1).

The terms of variety language are emerged due to different systems reflecting different varieties of the human condition. Variety is a specific set of ‘linguistic items’ or ‘human speech patterns’ (presumably, sounds, words, grammatical features, etc.) which we can connect with some external factor apparently, a geographical area or a social group (Hudson, 1996; Ferguson, 1972 and Wardhaugh, 2006).

Wardhaugh (2006) distinguish the terms language and dialect as follow:Lower part of variety language is dialect and as the main part is language, therefore we can say that Texas English and Swiss German are dialects of English and German. Some languages have more than one dialect for instance English are spoken in various dialects.



Questions :


Why sociolect related to social background rather than geographical background? (Mike)

            Answer: social background is the social language that we used in daily activities in our social group. But, geographical backgroud is the language that we used in our region. Example: someone who come from Sumatra Barat, based on his region, he used minang language( geographical background). But, when he move to Java, by the time his dialect will be change to java language because his social group used java language( social backgorund).



Please show more example of regional dialect and sicial dialect? (Ratna)

How can language have many differences, example language a country different to another country? (TM)

            Answer: people live in difference regional and social background. Wilayah dan lingkungan sosial mempengaruhi lahirnya suatu bahasa, karena setiap orang di setiap wilayah membutuhkan bahasa untuk berkomunikasi dengan orang yang ada di lingkungan sekitarnya.


At pages 28 in our course book, language and dialect is ambiguous term. So what is mean?? (Desi)

            Answer: No one really knows what is language real mean. Sometimes language have ambigu meaning. Example : Iam fine, means someon still in good condition or good feeling. But in Fact, Iam fine is not always means okay, but also, something wrong happened with someone’s feeling. By that case, we see that language and dialect is ambiguous.


Conclusion

Every language have variation and dialect. Its depend on the region and social background.
