A Study on the Integration of Language and Society

Abstract

Sociolinguistics has long been regarded as the study of the relationship between language and society. However, the view that language and society are separated and independent has been questioned in the study of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology in the 21st century. This paper will sort out the classics and cutting-edge literature of sociolinguistics, and explain the integration of language and society from the aspects of language diversity and adaptation, so as to further understand the theoretical focus of sociolinguistics, and carry on the theoretical innovation of sociolinguistics.
