Two main branches of Sociolinguistics: Micro and Macro-Sociolinguistics. The main differences of them are micro-sociolinguistics or sociolinguistics –in the narrow sense- is the study of language in relation to society, while macro-sociolinguistics or the sociology of language is the study of society in relation to language.
- I am more interested in the macro aspects of Sociolinguistics, which enable us to understand how language shapes our social lives, and how we portray ourselves as members of numerous social groups in various social contexts.
