INTRODUCTION

According to Bernard Spolsky, sociolinguistic field studies the relationship between language and society and how the social influents on language. Basically the use of the language is to communicate meaning. However, this paper work looks beyond to the symbolic and phonetic linguistic codes. It looks for making a brief analysis about the sociolinguistic features which involvesall about effects of styles, gender a social class on a language. on the other hand, it also analyses the speech community as its varieties and its conversation structure among others, all of these characteristic will be present in this paper work.
This paper work also involves bilingual and bilingualism conditions. A important feature of the sociolinguistic is to understand the nature andmultilingual societies; the way each language was acquired, how a person can uses two language at the same time, and what implies to be a societal multilingualism. On the other hand, applied sociolinguistic is related too to this paper. How the power and the social influences can establish the language identity is very relevant for us as a teacher since it is also part of each language process. Toconclude, the following work will let to analyze the language in different ways.

1. Base on the Sociolinguistic reading complete the following statements.

a. Language is used to communicate meaning, and it is also used to establish and to maintain social relationship.
b. Formal linguistic and psycholinguistic focus their attention on the language as a system with universalfeatures. Sociolinguistic looks at the complex connection between the variations with a language and the matching variations in the social groups that use it.
c. The difference between Sociolinguistic and the sociology of language is that the first one emphasizes the social influences on language and the second one emphasizes the role of language in society.

i. Language is regularly used in the exercise of political power. A government can attempt to control its minority groups by banning their language.
j. Applied Sociolinguistic deals with areas likelanguage planning and language policy.
