LANGUAGE AND VARIETIES

Abstract

This paper examines the sociolinguistic matter of linguistic variation, and the central issue taken up by this paper is the close relation between the language and the dialect diversity. It is speculated, here, that the language speaker absorbs his language in the subconscious at the early stages of childhood. A dialect is a system of communication spoken by a particular group in a particular area. As a result of the dynamism of language, its versatility and flexibility, it changes over time at all levels of sound, word, and sentence. Dialects arise from non-linguistic factors, such as the common belief, the common origin, the colour, the ethnic and the geographical location. This assumption leads to the investigation of universal dialect characteristics such as dialect, style, register etc., within the complex relationship between language and society. The end result of this paper supports the speculation that the broad term dialects standardize both written and spoken form. The existence of the standard form of the language is evidence in support of the claim that standard evolves from dialects.
