Summary: "Linguistic features wherein different words, phrases, or sentences convey the same meaning, with the choice between expressions influenced by phonological factors are denoted as phonological variables. Word choice, syntax, pronunciation, morphology may vary based on various factors, including language rules, individual preferences, or situational context. Sociolinguistics considers variables a fundamental concept, investigating whether phonological differences stem from the speaker's social traits. It also examines how elements of the linguistic context influence the adoption or avoidance of specific structures. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and theories in the field of phonological variables and sociolinguistics. The topics covered herein deal with the core subject of sociolinguistics. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further." -- Back cover
