When I first began thinking about applying to a school to further my studies I read a few books and did some research to figure out what area I would like to concentrate on. I remember clearly going to a seminar and looking through a few readers on various disciplines. I picked up a couple of them, and I remember not picking up the one on sociolinguistics. I have a huge interest in sociology, and obviously in linguistics, but just like beer and ice cream I have no interest in ingesting them both at once.
Now I'm going through the readings in the text on the social aspects of language. I'm particularly interested because the social aspects of language is part of my first assignment that is due later this month.
I live and work in an environment (Japan) that has a lot of emphasis on social norms and customs, so I'm eager to see just what kinds of issues I can take from the readings and apply to my daily life as well as in the classroom.
