A linguist is the study of human language and is called a linguist who specializes in it.

A community is typically a social unit or community larger than a home, family, or household
(households) that share common values and have strong social cohesion.

1. There is unity in the use of language and it is shared with others - the language is homogeneous,
meaning that the language used is the same form and type or variety (Chomsky, 1965; Lyons, 1970)

2. The member can share and be free in terms of language and its interpretation (Hymes, 1972) - this is
similar to the traditional interpersonal communication using the cues of the Filipinos (Maggay, 2005)

3. There is unity in values and opinions about the use of language (Labov, 1972)

It, therefore, assumes that the linguistic community exists only in the sector, group, or unit that
understands their single use of language (homogeneous) with unity in type or form; they understand
each other’s terms, and each shares the same appreciation and feelings in their use of language and
their dealings with each other.

Subalit paano kung malalaking pamayanan,


samahan o bansa na ang pinag-uusapan?
Magagamit pa rin ba ang mga salik na
nabanggit? Hindi na.  Ang tunguhin ng
lingguwistikong komunidad ay kaisahan na tila
may iisang mukha, wika, kilos, o tunguhin ang
bawat kasapi.  Subalit ang tunguhin ng
multikultural na komunidad ay
 
But what if we are talking about large communities, organizations, or countries? Are the factors
mentioned still applicable? No longer. The goal of the linguistic community is unity in which each
member seems to have the same face, language, demeanor, or goal. But the goal of the multicultural
community is

"Unity in the midst of difference." Not unity but unity because of different factors, forms, locations,
perspectives, and many other
individual origin and origin (heterogeneous) Therefore, we vary in race, color, skin, gender, beliefs, faith,
state of life, past history, and aspirations for the future.
