Sociolinguistics

This space is designed for you to have an extra help in your reading process with the book "Sociolinguistics" by Spolsky. 

In the following sections you will find two tools that will help you with the process and in order to put in practice your knowledge of the topics, you will develop two tasks which will be posted in Padlet. 

Let's start!

For this term, we are going to learn about how language varies due to geographical aspects, social factors and context where conversations take place. 

Besides you will be searching information about the types of bilingualism. That information will help as extra material to understand the book concepts better. 

Thus, your final tasks are the following:
