regarded by members of a diglossic speech community as two discrete codes each fulfilling a clearly distinct range of social functions in different sets of circumstances, though some interference between the two may occur in certain contexts. This sociolinguistic phenomenon, in which an obvious form-function mapping is at work and in which the status of each variety is overtly recognized in the community, has been referred to diglossia. As already indicated, what makes the Algerian language situation so

The Problems of Sociolinguistic Studies of Gender Differences Introduction It has long been assumed that women and men differ in their use of language. These differences are supposed to represent (and perpetuate) the social divisions between women and men. Few researchers will disagree that women and men’s speech styles are different, though they may disagree as to what extent or as to what these differences may mean.

According to Preston, perceptual dialectolo-gy is a sub-category of folk linguistics, which itself belongs to sociolinguistics. He in-cludes the study of both, conscious and subconscious responses to language variation in the term (Preston 2011: 15), and emphasizes the importance of cognitive processes into consideration, making it synonymous with the term attitude studies

Review of Related Literature The main goal of this study is to investigate the sociolinguistic structure of women terms of address usage in workplace. This part tries to review a number of related studies in different languages, mainly English and Arabic. Mehrotra (1985) describes the forms of address in Hindi in relation to the socio-cultural

fluency (SLLF) in order to increase teachers' awareness about these factors and to enable teachers to improve second language learners' fluency. Though there are different perspectives of these factors: sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic. This essay is going to focus on the sociolinguistic factors in particular due to space limitations. The major goal,
