I liked the article but I think in the tecnicalities, a general introduction to the subject has been ignored completely. In fact the article seems incomplete without dedicating a part of it to the history of sociolinguistics; the various approaches in the past, the gradual shift of focus from finding a pure dialect of the rural speaker to the more modern approach proposed by Labov and the ultimate establishment of the modern Sociolinguistics. Anyone..?
I have a stupid question. Sociolinguistics and "sociology of language" looked similar to me when I read the first few sentences.

Sociolinguistics is the study of ... the effects of language use on society. Sociolinguistics differs from sociology of language in that ... the latter's focus is on the language's effect on the society. |

I am writing as a holder of a Masters in Linguistics with post-masters studied in linguistics, and notice that the historical development of sociolinguistics as a field is, in this article, possibly quite incomplete, and particularly missing early sociolinguistics research in France and Germany, and possibly more needful of information on the heavily sociolinguistically-oriented approach to the field of Linguistics as a whole that was long typical of French linguists. It would be interesting to compare those with insights and writings by Japanese linguists of the 1930s. Also important to consider sociolinguistic concepts studied before the term 'sociolinguistics' was coined, including references to anthropological linguistics.

I have removed the individual scholars from the "See also" section. While the individuals listed are notable sociolinguists, it seems unpractical to link to every sociolinguist on Wikipedia. The link to Category:Sociolinguists should suffice. Also, some of those individuals (e.g. William Labov, Basil Bernstein) are already linked in the text, so repeating them in the See also section is unnecessary over-link.

Hello all! Brand-new to wiki-editing here, so bear with me if I make mistakes. The Canadian Linguistics Association is holding a "Wikipedia Edit-athon" at their annual conference this weekend, May 30-31, 2015. The sociolinguistics faculty and graduate students at my university were tasked with suggesting edits to this page and others linked to it, and many major changes were proposed to improve accuracy, completeness of information, and readability. Over the next weeks, I plan to implement these changes. Please let me know if this will be a problem, or if I should suggest edits before implementing them. Many thanks! -- LinguistSayWhat ( talk) 16:11, 26 May 2015 (UTC)LinguistSayWhat

This page and Sociology of language share a problem: they both define themselves as one thing, and define the other as the opposite.

From sociology of language:
As you can see, one of these definitions has to be inherently wrong. The question is, which one? JaykeBird ( talk) 12:04, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
This section seems lacking in referential sources. I've attached some sources that I'll read and use to check the information in this section. The references I'm thinking are best to add/use are:
Bernstein, B. (2003). Class, codes and control. Applied studies towards a sociology of language. London: Routledge.
Hudson, R. A. (2011). Sociolinguistics. Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press.Lee, V. (1973). Language and learning. some aspects of the work of
Basil Bernstein ; prepared by Victor Lee for the Course Team: with an account of the theory of codes ; by Basil Bernstein. Milton Keynes: Open University Press.
Do you have any suggestions/revisions for sources for this section?

Can anyone explain to me how to add references to this page? The section completely disappears in edit mode. Thank you.. Johnson gracee ( talk) 16:24, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
This is a sentence.<ref>This reference supports the sentence.</ref>
Currently the section "Covert prestige" says the following:
Until about a day ago, it said roughly the opposite:
I reversed an edit from an IP address that switched the high/low parentheticals, but then User:Pete unseth reversed my edit in turn.
The problem, I think, is that this prose is not clear. Does this mean that there is a lower tendency to use non-standard varieties at barbecues than in banks? If so, it is wrong. Or does it mean that non-standard varieties have low prestige? If so, that is generally true – though not necessarily in cases of covert prestige. In any event, this section is unclear and should be rewritten. It also should cite published sources. Cnilep ( talk) 00:09, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
I reverted Free2Victory's addition to the "Community of practice" section ( here) as I believe its inclusion may give too much attention to a minor viewpoint. Currently the only source is the book itself which isn't helpful for understanding how the theory has been received by the field, and because of that makes claims which appear non-neutral. For example, the addition describes the concept as new, but the central argument "language patterns must be understood as patterns that are organized on different, layered (i.e. vertical rather than horizontal) scale-levels" was proposed at least a decade prior in Irvine and Gahl (2000)'s description of fractal recursivity. While there may be broad theoretical trends in the field that The Sociolinguistics of Globalization is a part of, citations to reliable secondary sources such as book reviews or literature reviews would be more useful for developing the article. — Wug· a·po·des 16:43, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
