Summary
Sociolinguistics is a branch of linguistics that takes language as an object of the study, in a way that usually distinguished from how syntax, semantics, morphology, and phonology handle it (Coulmas, 2013). Sociolinguistics covers a wide variety of sub-disciplines It can involve the study of linguistics variation, language attitudes, pragmatics, discourse analysis, multilingualism, creolistic, language and gender and so on. Many sociolinguists suggest that men and women speak differently in any community. Women and men have a big gap in a way to use a certain language. When both male and female students are asked to discuss one particular topic, men uttered more slang and impolite words than women do. Women are more linguistically polite than men, for instance, and that women and men emphasize different speech functions, and they do not speak in exactly the same way as each other in any community (Holmes, 2001: 150-151)
