The Sociolinguistics Series : Volume 3 Of Many

In July of 2017, I had just gotten back from a three-week camp where I took a course on sociolinguistics. Before those three weeks, I had little to no idea what that word entailed. Now, thanks to my professor, TA's, and classmates, a newfound interest for this subject has delved deep into my heart. Sociolinguistics, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is "the study of language in relation to social factors, including differences of regional, class, and occupational dialect, gender differences, and bilingualism." It's fascinating. Much of linguistic insecurity and linguistic discrimination previously went right over my head, but now that I've opened my eyes to the power of language, I notice little nuances that I have never seen before. This short book is a compilation of many, many articles I wrote for the Odyssey Online (a web database for writers to come together and publish articles). I would submit the latest volume each week, until I had accumulated a fair amount of writing on the topic.
