    Sociolinguistics studies how language is influenced by social factors like ethnicity, status, religion, and education level. It also examines how language performs different functions like giving information, expressing emotions, and conveying social identity. Language use is shaped by characteristics of the interaction such as the participants, setting, topic, and purpose. People vary their language according to social dimensions like solidarity, status, formality, and the functional role of the interaction. As an assignment, students are asked to record natural conversations in different contexts and collect language examples that illustrate these social dimensions.
