Sociolinguistics: Research Report (for MQuni)

linguistics degree

The 'if' formula below, was quite hard to come up with.

=IF(AND(OR(H490="Private",H490="Catholic"),K490>=0,OR(J490="professional",J490="student",J490="retired")),1,IF(H490="Private",1,2))


Usefulness for ELT: it is important to maintain an outer social context within class. A look into the phonetic nature of language as related to sociolinguistic context gives me a general sense that there are phonetic patterns among individuals, demographics and regions and gives me a sense of how these variations are transmitted. 

It could possibly be useful in identifying and seeing a variation for what it is, rather than a student's one-time slip or error of pronunciation – is it related to a pattern of change? I could give better guidance as a result.
