CONCLUSION

In a general perspective, the terminologies being defined in our keyword glossary are chosen for a number of reasons. Primarily, they are chosen true to our curiosity to know what they are about and how they are related to the socio-cultural reality of todays world. The terminologies chosen in this assignment help us to provide a general understanding of what sociolinguistics is as well. As you read and familiarise with the terms, you may encounter several different others. Thus, it prepares you to the possibility of encountering many more terms in your future reading. The terminologies are also chosen based on the fact that we students may have encountered the majority of these terms several times while we are learning sociolinguistics or reading sociolinguistics-related books and journals but do not know other aspects that form them such as why and how they are used. There are still more to know than just understanding their definitions. Therefore, it is hoped that the in-depth definitions following these terms are able to provide further insights to us and other students towards understanding what these terms truly are for future references.
