    Regional and Social Dialectology Presentation

    Ma. Elarnie L. Modesto
    This document discusses regional and social dialectology. It defines regional dialects as distinct forms of language spoken in a particular geographic area, and social dialects as varieties associated with social classes. Regional dialectology identifies boundaries between dialects based on phonological, lexical, semantic and syntactic differences in regions. Social dialectology focuses on how linguistic features correlate with extra-linguistic variables like education, race and social status. Both regional and social dialects exhibit variation in phonology, semantics, lexicon and syntax.
